{ spring cleaning or spring break... }

Happy Friday everyone! What a week...I was quite busy working on some special projects--some of which I look forward to sharing with you soon.

The Spring cleaning bug also kicked in and I couldn't resist digging into some long overdue home projects--nothing exciting...closet cleaning, sorting and purging, which seemed like such a good idea when I started. Then, however, it seemed like a much better idea to play and have some Spring break fun with my daughter, which sorta interrupted the actual completion of said projects. Does the starting, but not completing, ever happen to you? Rather than fretting about the mish mash of piles currently strewn about my house--and the fact that it looks messier then when I started--let's pretend I'm all finished and my rooms look something like this now...

Whew...I feel so much better, but boy do I have my work cut out for me this weekend. How about you...do you have Easter plans? We're looking forward to our annual family Easter egg hunt and celebrating a very special someone's birthday--can't wait. See you all next week...cheers!

    These pictures - how lovely! I'm in the midst of packing to move across town, and I have all these grand plans of how my place will look like those pictures in the future. Grand plans! Let's hope life doesn't get in the way of them.

    I love those bottles in the first photo - and that room with the white modernist chairs - I like how they're mix-and-match!

    I could take a zillion photos just of those bottles...I am pretty sure your home looks similar to the photos in this post...you are too modest! xo t

    Oh spring cleaning. I love those colorful towels and the idea that they don't have to be matchy-matchy!
