Back into the swing of things! Master Bedroom Reveal part 2

I found the shutters at The Agoura Antique Mart awhile back.

The vintage bed tray at a flea market. & nbsp;

I love this old ironstone pitcher from England. Another, flea market find. Flea market season is upon us!

I have been dying linens like the one below. I will show you it another post.

These gorgeous Velum Books are from A Beautiful Mess! They are the perfect shade of cream! If you can get your hands on these, I suggest you do. They are a rare find and only A Beautiful Mess carries them.

& nbsp;

I adore my vintage French letter and flower print's, which I have had forever!

& nbsp;

Alabaster apples. I collect anything alabaster. I have 6 vintage Alabaster lamps throughout our home! They are my favorite! If you see one at the flea market it, snatch it up!

& nbsp;

& nbsp;

& nbsp;

& nbsp;

I found this clock at A Beautiful Mess, it's the perfect shade of white.

& nbsp;

I have found 2 of these gorgeous mirrors & nbsp; at the flea market!

My new favorite to add to my collection of vintage mirrors!

& nbsp;

& nbsp;

& nbsp;

My favorite vintage hamper!

My kitchen bench, herbs, lavender & giveaways all over blog land�

Hi there!!! & nbsp; I love these sun shiny days! The weather has been pleasant and reminds me that spring is here. I am so grateful lately for so many things. & nbsp; My baby will be here soon, my friends and family are healthy and happy. A girl couldn't ask for anything more.

I wanted to share some images of & nbsp; my new kitchen bench that I found at the flea market a few months ago. & nbsp; My son loves it! It is fun for him to sit here. He never used to sit on the chairs. This is were we do our arts and crafts. & nbsp;

I am seriously considering painting my floors here white! I love the look!

& nbsp;

My herb and lavender box, it smells so good!

Catching up�

Hi friends! I apologize for being MIA. I & nbsp; feel so bad for what is happening in Japan! I feel so guilty for having such a wonderful life knowing what is going on. & nbsp; I watch the devastation and thank God that my family and friends are safe. & nbsp; & nbsp; I pray for those in Japan and can only hope things will get better!

I have been busier than ever. Last week I had a ton of photography projects due, school, work, and now my dad is coming to visit from Italy. It has been 6 years since I have seen him and he has yet to meet my son. & nbsp; I am so excited, and nervous.

I will try and catch up with everyone this week, I will be showing my master bedroom reveal. Finally!!! I have been really concentrating on my photography, special techniques and using photo shop. This semester of school is pretty tuff. & nbsp; Please bare with me & nbsp; and sorry for my lack of posts, as my tummy is & nbsp; getting bigger and it is getting harder for me to move around, let alone sit at the computer�baby keeps kicking me not to sit forward�. LOL, not to mention chasing a 3 year old makes me tired. & nbsp; Be back soon�

Have a great day!

Clean Eating, Where Women Cook & Plans�

Hi there! & nbsp; I wanted to thank you all for your lovely comments and emails on our master bedroom and kitchen. I also wanted to answer some of the questions. This is a quick post. We are off to Disneyland tomorrow!

First off, I wanted to share some of my favorite cooking magazines and a great cook book .My husband and I are into fitness and now Clean Eating. & nbsp; We want to set a good example for the little ones. I wanted to share this amazing cookbook with great recipes by Tosca Reno's Eat Clean. & nbsp;

We also have a subscription to Clean Eating magazine, love the recipes. & nbsp; I have been trying out recipes and will let you know which ones we like best.

Another favorite cooking magazine is Where Women Cook! & nbsp; There are amazing chefs, recipe idea's and adorable kitchens. Fifi is in this latest issue. She looks so lovely in her kitchen.

& nbsp;

The paint color I use throughout the common areas of the house is White Fever by Dunn Edwards (for now lol). The kitchen chandelier is a Rachel Ashwell find, I did not distress it myself. & nbsp; That is the way I bought it. The duvet cover on the bed is by Pom Pom. & nbsp; I found the herb box in the kitchen at a flea market. I did not distress that either. I found it that way. The backsplash on the back kitchen counters are white subway tiles. I went most of the way up the wall. On the island is Carrera Marble. & nbsp; We also did half a wall in one of our bathroom using subway tiles. I haven't shown that bathroom yet. I will try to soon. I hope I got most of the questions. & nbsp; Thank you for asking.

I did get a lot of positive yes feed back on painting the floors white. & nbsp; Most everyone agrees. This is our dilemma though. & nbsp; This home is our 3-5 year plan. & nbsp; My husband and I have moved and flipped 11 homes in our 10 years together. But, when you have a family priorities change when looking for a home to raise them in. We have been going to open house's the last few months to get an idea of the area in which we want to live and find our dream home to finally settle in.. & nbsp; I already have my dream home in mind, finding it in the perfect area is the trick. & nbsp; We have narrowed it down to 3 different locations. The school district being top priority. & nbsp;

Dilemma�We want to possibly keep this house and rent it out, or possibly sell it. Problem is do you think painting the floors white will be a distraction to renters or buyers???

In debate�.

One last thing check out Jennifer Rizzo's gorgeous new Urban Journey Collection Line�

Amazing talent!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Back into the swing of things! Master Bedroom Reveal part 1

Hi friends! I feel like I have been gone forever, I miss everyone, and will be visiting soon. It was a great break for me though. I got to revive, rest and now I am coming back feeling fresh and inspired. We all need that from time to time. & nbsp; I have had a great time these past few weeks catching up on things, visiting with my dad, and being pregnant, (10 weeks left.) My Dad flew in from Italy two weeks ago, I haven't seen him in 6 years!!! We had such a wonderful time together reconnecting and he finally met my son. & nbsp; Dustin loves his nono. & nbsp;

I have & nbsp; also been busy with school . I have some fun project's that are due, I can't wait to show them to you. I have been learning photo shop CS5. Its pretty tuff, but I think I am finally getting the hang of it.

& nbsp;

Photography this semester has been a bit overwhelming, to say the least. Electronic and digital photography is one of the hardest course's I have taken yet. & nbsp; Just when I think I have figured something out, there is a ton more to learn. Its endless. There are so many tricks and techniques to photography, I love it!

I & nbsp; finally finished shooting a & nbsp; few homes, which I just got word that they will be published! I can't wait to show you them. One of which is a home & nbsp; that my husband and I designed from the inside out.

My sister did some work I will be showing as well. Stay tuned!

& nbsp;

I also did a shoot for product line of & nbsp; cute greeting cards, soap, etc, & nbsp; & nbsp; I will soon share as well, plus more.

Ok, I won't yap to much about things. Onto the master bedroom, & nbsp; it has been done for awhile and I finally got around to shooting it! I love the pops of color I added here and there. The bedding is a mix of Rachel Ashwell and Pom Pom. I have a few different types of bed linens, but these two are my favorite.

When I was working with Rachel and the girls from Shabby, sometimes when they style a bed for a photograph, & nbsp; the girls jump into the bed to make it look comfy. So fun and funny. I fell in love with how it looks when it is not made completely. Makes me want to jump right in, which I did...you have to try it..Lol,
