monday musings.

See that beautiful Kate Spade wall above... how great would this application be in a powder bath one day? Its just Dura-Lar film cut & applied in strips. I have this filed away for the non-existent said powder bath one day... In my book, Metallic + Stripes = perfection. (via here.)

I REALLY want to replicate this photo shoot one day, I absolutely LOVE it... the coloring & texture of the images are beautiful. I love it so much I think I'll just straight up copy it... maybe next fall with mini Frazier in the world? Does it help I have her shirt & boots... its a start. :) (source unknown.)

Check out this DIY wreath by Madiganmade... so simple & chic & CHEAP. Perfect for fall or the Holidays... its just gold thumbtacks. I wish I thought of it. Brilliant, people, just brilliant.

Confession: I STILL love MK & Ash... they just do what they feel & rock what they want. I know I know... most people are over them, but I still can't get enough. I loved stumbling across some of these paparazzi shots of them... they always seem to be in their own world.

I look at this Kravet Bansuri Ikat fabric pretty much all the time & still keep coming back to it... any color wave is awesome. I want it for some project... some day; Maybe for the Mini's nursery... I'll work on that & get back with you. I know, I know, I am trying to get away from my love of greys & neutrals... I'll stop after this?

I made my first Teddy's Apple cake last week of the season... the one from the New York Times in 1973. It is still requested for re-print to this day... it is that. good. people. I typically make it a few times each fall with Honey crisp apples (an obsession)... it is perfect for breakfast, as well as dessert. (Try a brown sugar glaze on it.) I made it with this Deen Brother's Lasagna Soup, and it did not disappoint, either.

Happy Happy Fall & Happy start to the week!
