The 20 Something Society

Dwell Studios and Heath Ceramics have teamed up to bring us the most awesome tile ever.  Modern colors and Mod patterns will make for some ultra sleek looking bathrooms.

This morning, while editing wedding images, I popped in my current Netflix flick. It was The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It is a french movie about a couple whose affair is cut short when he is drafted and all the complications that came after. It was made in 1964 and its a bit of a musical. Not the burst into song at random type, but all of the dialogue was sung as melodies. I was concerned that I wouldnt be able to follow, watching a foreign film while tasking on the computer. But, I guess you would be surprised at how much french we know offhand. I already wanted to learn it and now I think It’ll be a breeze. The sets and wardrobe were delightful. The colors popped!

P.S.  Everytime I watch a French film it makes me want to move to France…yesterday it was Julie and Julia..and today this!

Today I said to myself “Self, I want to have a Buddy Holly party.”  I won’t actually have one.  I just always get the urge to throw theme parties.

This would have been a dream for me to live in when I was in middle school.  I actually asked to have a room with more of magenta walls with this color pink moulding.  Some close friends of our family were painters – but my mom let them pick out the colors and the bunch of dudes that they are their magenta was more of a fuschia.  But they were so proud they didn’t hear a peep of negative comment out of me.

Heres a bathroom for ya Uncle Danny.

We picked up this candle at Publix while grocery shopping yesterday.

Next time your shopping give it a whiff it smells great!  Saved us a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond.

Don’t I wish?  Summer breeze, ha!  It snowed again yesterday.  I’m ready for spring.  This image seems nice right about now, it makes me think of lazy summer days.  And I wouldn’t mind waking up to a ceiling / fan like that.

I have been totally digging fruits in weddings lately.  Especially oranges!

I was over at Love My Dress today and saw this little piece of sunshine.

It is a vintage caravan named Lola (one of my favorite names too!)!  Now I need one of these to go with my squeezebox for photoshoots.

This little beauty is owned by Laura Dew who runs a business called My Vintage Party.  She rents out and sells vintage tableware for your parties and events, and if you don’t feel like putting together all of the details they offer a full afternoon tea party package.  They also rent out the caravan for weddings, photographers, and media.  If only she were near me, I would be working with her constantly.  Shes in the UK!

Our handy cousin Kelly hand crafted this crib for their upcoming bundle of joy.  They live in New Orleans – hence the fleur de lis.  

He isn’t quite finished – but it looks fabulous!
