Warm Me Up

I had a wonderful weekend in LA - it was SUPER cold on Saturday - I even had friends tweeting about snow falling at their homes! We spent Saturday night at a great new restaurant, Eveleigh, and then sat in front of our fireplace catching up on our DVR'd shows.

Our fireplace would be even more magical with one of these gorgeous fireplace screens.


Above two from {Hearth Art} originally seen in California Home + Design Mag. Butterfly fireplace screens are genius.

Loving this chic, simple one from Horchow.
Now I need to find equally chic sweatpants to wear in front of the fireplace!

On Fire

Loving the stripe treatment on this fireplace. Great, inexpensive way to fancy-dancy it up.

The Great Outdoors

I love the outdoors. The sun. Blue skies. Though my poor nose is taking quite a beating with my seasonal allergies in full effect. So rather than hiking and camping, I'm more the sit-in-my-backyard-reading-my-Kindle kind of nature girl.

I've been working on my herb garden (aka, slowly killing all the gorgeous herbs we bought at Whole Foods last year.) LOVE this image from Martha Stewart - just a little sharpie on the herb pot helps if go from blah to glam!


This image from Better Homes & Gardens totally brings the outdoors inside -- I am somewhat obsessed with birch logs!
Happy Spring (a-choo!)

It's getting hot in herrre

With winter coming around the corner, I've got fireplaces on the brain... Here are some fantastic options for those without a chimney...

Interior designer Nicole Sassaman used this gorgeous fireplace in her Malibu Road project.

This image from Design*Sponge makes me want to paint my brick fireplace surround white...
I just need a cup of cocoa and a Mongolian lambswool throw, and I'm ready for winter! Though I'm not sure when it will be cooler that 75 degrees here in LA...
