happy monday

love this room! i think it's brilliant to take a hallway or foyer space that is small and turn it into a declaration of who you are and what you like. the colorful paintings, the white floors, the antique garden chairs, the necklace hanging on the lamp, the stack of books.

hope you all had a great weekend! we went to the zoo with the girls and i have never seen rory so excited. lord, she loves animals. we also planned a little party with our neighbors to kick summertime off this friday night. margaritas with fresh lime juice. homemade salsa and chips. colorful party decorations. and the gypsy kings. more on this later...
