home sweet home 2010

Next year, in 2010, my husband and I will be building our first house...HOME SWEET HOME 2010 will be a place to collect inspiration for the interior design of our home. We are most likely going to use a post and beam kit house company for the structure. Inside will be vintage and colorful---perhaps a modern farmhouse twist--who knows really. It's all up in the air.

But, whenever I find something online that I'd like inside my home it will be posted on this blog. If you have comments or suggestions feel free to leave them below.
I love this area rug from the Anna Maria Horner collection. You can find it here, but save one for me! http://store.annamariahorner.com/bldaru.html

charlie's letter to Santa

Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year--you can even ask my mom. No fighting, no arguing and I did all my chores--well most of them!

Here is what I want this year for Christmas: Vintage ornaments, snowflakes and buttons to trim the tree. A few treats in my stocking like these sparkly, glamorous jewels, lip balm, and a cute little owl. I would be the luckiest girl in the world if you would also bring me the perfect cup for my favorite beverage, COFFEE, and some gorgeous pink glasses to celebrate the holidays with my friends.

As always, I will leave you a plate of chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk and carrots for your reindeer.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Love,
Charlie
