Raising the bar...

here

I have always wanted a bar in my home. However, the one I inherited along with my fathers home is for lack of better words, not my style.  I would love to have one that resembles any of these! I absolutely love this small gold one with gold accents and pretty gilded bar ware. My husband on the other hand would probably want one of these more masculine wooden bar carts. Although I do love all the storage my current bar has! I guess a girl can never be happy with what she has!

Constantly dreaming of upgrades...

Just cuddling with My Lion...

These pictures leave me stunned and a little jealous. If you know me, you know i have a thing for big paws, and these paws are the biggest!! What i would give to cuddle with a lion!  

In the 1970′s, actress and model Tippi Hedren  created the Shambala Preserve after producing the film Roar. The preserve rescued exotic big cats living in captivity that had been abused or were in need of help, one of which the family created a close bond with. Neil the lion lived with the family in their home, and played an active role in the day to day activities of the preserve.via the chive

Can you guess who the young girl is?

It's Melanie Griffith!

Getting organized...

Alittle organization goes a long way. Figuring out how to get organize my life is proving to be more difficult than I thought.

I love how this simple notebook from oh hello friend blog makes being organized look cute!

The simple and positive affirmations would be just enough to get you through a rough patch!

These organized spaces make me swoon. Sometimes organization of your clutter is all you need to not feel so overwhelmed with your space and/or life. Just Remember...everything has a home- and if it doesn't...find it a home.

Simple baskets and labels make a small bathroom space look tidy and clean.

I wish my home office looked like this!

The flush baskets in the wall are such a nice detail. Architectural and organized details!

Rain coat and umbrella in their "home."

I feel like my life looks like this fruit bowl... pretty on the outside yet a little disheveled on the inside with whipped cream on top...

I would love if it looked like this. My bowl- simply representing me. My spoon-my Brain trying to figure out what to pick up first and what to pick up next. The fruit- my work, my hobbies, my dreams, my freetime, my busy time, my friends and family...all different flavors, sizes and colors...all holding an importance to me. Now if someone could just arrange them in an order somewhat similar to the image above... that would be great!

(did you notice the polka dots were organized too?!)
