Thanks for all of your encouragement after my last post. I know most of you have “been there” and I appreciate you letting me know. My house isn’t any better, but my frame of mind is . . .
Since I didn’t blog for the last couple of days, I thought I would play catch up with this post.
We were in Pottery Barn shopping for a client yesterday when I saw this wall. I love how warm this little setting feels and the mix of frames. It might be what I needed to get me going on our entry.
Bad phone picture, but a great deal. I just discovered that Pier 1 recently started carrying hardware. Many are very Anthropologie-ish and almost all were priced around $5 or $6. I bought four for my ho-hum TV console for a quick $20 facelift.
I’ve got this beauty sitting in my garage waiting to go to a client’s house next week. That’s one of the downfalls of this job. All of this beautiful furniture so close to your home, but just never quite makes it through the door . . ..
This is one of the prettiest autumns I can remember since I moved to NC. Look at these trees outside of the mall:
And, some more pictures I snapped in our backyard. . . Trying to savor all of this color before the rain and wind take all of it away.
And, finally, today—on 11/11/11—we’re celebrating our 11-year anniversary. Lucky, huh? :) It’s been a good, productive 11 years. In case you want to go back and read my husband’s ever-popular anniversary post from last year, you can find it here.
(Like my Saturday look? Okay, who am I kidding? This is my Monday through Saturday look. . . Now you know. )
Happy weekend!,

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the Pier 1 hardware tip.
ReplyDeleteToday is our 11th anniversary, as well! Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were just talking about a trip to see the fall leaves. I love the reds outside of the mall. We do have trees turning colors here in Spring, Texas, however this terrible drought took a lot of our trees.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
A very happy 11/11/11/11 anniversary to you - that is so fun! And those trees are breathtaking - that is mother nature at it's best. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! 11 years! That's a big blessing, my friend. Celebrate it!

ReplyDeleteAfter almost 3 weeks and numerous phone calls to Fed-X and one call to Kirkland's I finally received my sunburst mirror. It was well worth the wait.
Happy Anniversary Emily & Hubby! You have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteso jealous of the color! We want to move up there, hopefully hubby will be transferred soon so we can enjoy fall color too!

Happy anniversary! And, GO CATS!!!!!!!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love that pic from Pottery Barn. I've been eyeing those frames with the Burlap Mats, but not loving the price as I'd love to have multiples to create a gallery wall. I'm saving that pic though for when I do finally get some! Also, those trees are gorgeous. Enjoy celebrating your Anniversary!! You have such a beautiful family.
ReplyDeletehappy 11th anniversary! wow, what a date and milestone!
ReplyDeletenot sure if they have a Hobby Lobby in your area, but they also have pretty neat knobs.
too funny, my daughter has the same bird shirt as your little one!
Happy anniversary!!! :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, those trees at your mall are just the most amazing shade! I just stared at them for a few seconds! And happy anniversary... easy date to help him remember!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! We celebrated 11 last month! It's been a tough football season to be a Kentucky fan. Although after attending the blue/white game, I'm betting basketball season is going to make it real good again!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOur 11th anniversary too! YEAH! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWow, first, Happy Anniversary! Next, I had no idea that pier 1 was selling hardware. Finally, would you look at that awesome bow in your daughter's head! Now that is the happiest image of my day! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have your anniversary fall on this date! and don't you have a bday around now, too?!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your family pics..and you in them! you guys are too cute!
Ooo... I'm definitely going to have to check out Pier 1 for those knobs! And those trees!! They're verging on hot pink I swear. I can't believe that, beautiful. Happy Anniversary too, congrats!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on 11 wonderful years!
ReplyDeletei am an amateur/beginner decorator. we built a new home from scratch and have been in a year.....your husband's wonderful "10 commandments" have been fwd. to my frustrated husband....he will identify with 99% of them!!!! hopefully he will realize he is not alone in "decoratorsville".
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and the fall colors were great here in Colorado as well! Nancy
Those red trees are so gorgeous! Nature rocks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Your Saturday (all the time) attire is very reminiscent of my own (: Are you a KY transplant in NC? I'm a fellow Kentuckian!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and what a lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteLove the art wall at PB - those little oval and square frames are nice mixed in with the larger pieces. :)
Glad you got some inspiration to get you out of your design funk. Happy anniversary! I went to a birthday party on Friday and all the guests were asked to bring a bottle of bubbly to celebrate 11/11/11. I don't think I"ve seen so much champagne at one time in one place.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the scope on hardware at Peir 1 this is great.
ReplyDeleteI am just catching up on my blog reading because I have been in the north ga/south tennessee mountains. And--it was GORGEOUS. I thought we may have missed the trees, but I agree with you, this year has been so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you too! (We were also celebrating our anniversary-1 year!)
Happy Anniversary - you look like the perfect family xxx ps love the shots of fall xxx
