Lounging

My parents were so great and sent me a pair of Frye's boots for Christmas that I had been coveting! Unfortunately..... they didn't fit too well. Remember I said I always end up getting things for our house instead of for myself? Well I decided to return the boots and get some seating for our living room instead.

A while back while at World Market (that seems to be a theme lately, doesn't it?) I came across this lounge bench:



I immediately thought it'd be great for our living room. I've been wanting something that I can lay out on and read a book and this is perfect (and the price is great). I even did a bit of photoshop-ing and styled it with some pillows:



Once I get back home I am going to pick it up and I'll definitely let you know how it goes!

And speaking of lounging, I've really been enjoying the 75 degree weather here in California. I didn't plan on taking a break from work and blogging but every day I find myself here:



When the posting is light this week, now you know what I'm doing! ;)

California

We're having a great time in California!! Here is a snapshot of our life lately from my iPhone...



I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Christmas Eve Eve

Can you believe it's Christmas Eve Eve??



We are spending Christmas in California (it's supposed to be 75 degrees!) I am so excited about going back! Even though we only lived there three years it still holds a very special place in my heart. We got married there, his family (who is definitely my family too) is there, I started my blog and design biz there...

If I don't pop in before Christmas, I wish you all a very safe and happy Christmas filled with family and love and good food and maybe a great present or two. This really is the BEST time of the year!
