A few things



So after been sick for like two weeks with horrible allergies and then a massive cold I spend a lot of time in bed day /and night dreaming about the things I want and we need in our new home . we are pretty much staring form zero .. zero furniture zero everything  .. we only brought in clothes and decor and kitchen stuff and well all we can't live without . Mostly all our furniture stayed behind (actually sold) .

For those who don't know me you might not know that I looooooooooove making list about evrythinggg!!!!! and plans !!! oh how do I love to make list and plans!! I'm the queen at it ! anyhow I stared with the first room in my house and work myself in to the last room . I went in details from paint color to picture frames and so on , then I made my plans for each room ..then I put all the rooms together . Also I included a budget for every room . Witch I know it will be impossible to do all in a year (I'm not a millionaire and I also don't have the time) plus I will also like to make some things to give it a bit of us ..

I will get into a bit more details later on of each room but for now this is what my house looks like in plans since is easier for me to show all the rooms together . In the plans I included furniture and decor of what actually exist in each room at the moment as well as some things that are still to come .




This is the first floor witch includes the two car garage , two story foyer , a half bath, kitchen ,breakfast area, dinning room, formal living room/office(is what we are using it for) and family room . And as well as the stairs going up to second floor.







This is the second floor witch includes Our master bedroom ,bathroom ,walking closet , Youngest boy bedroom , little girl's room , walk in closet , kids bathroom , laundry room , oldest boy bedroom with his sitting area and walk in closet.





Our two youngest kids had the opportunity to pick between the front two bedrooms  while our oldest needed a space for when his friends come over (witch is very often) to have sleep overs and so on also play video games and do his homework since he doesn't need much help while the other two still need mum and dad for homework time  so he got to pick the biggest room other than the master.

This house is very comfortable and spacious but of course I will love to make some changes on some of the layout like adding another room to the downstairs to use as an office instead of the formal living room and make the kitchen a bit bigger (is big now a lot bigger than the last house I just want an island ) bahahha .. will also like to enclose the back patio and make the master shower a bit bigger and do some smalls changes here and there . what can I say I dream a lot .. but hey dreams do come true and while this house is not ours yet soon it will be and then we can star the big changes . For right now ill stick to paint , furniture and decor .

I will be going in more details on each and every room as things progress around here. Right now I'm just trying to survive this massive cold and enjoy my kids being home for fall break ..

until next time...

Organized entry




Last week I showed our new foyer refresh , today I will like to bring you into how I organize this space to function for our family's needs.



I wanted to keep the top functional but less clutter . I stared by removing the big metal tray I used to have under the mirror and exchange I brought in this little box that has the metal trimming I like plus a beautiful agate gem on top . Like that  by giving it some character and that pop of color . The rest I have is some flowers to soften the space as well a small vase {cup}to hold some pens for those last minutes notes.  A season picture frame for a touch of personality I want people to still know that actual people live in this house and of course a great smelling candle for also that pop of car as warmth .





This small glass box holds by everyday items I need before getting out of the house like for example my keys and small wallet.






This drawer still gives me a bit of anxiety because there is a lot of going on but is all what we need . From extra pencils, tapes ,note cards ,small note pad, my check book {who knows} , extra candles , air freshener , lighter , lotion , body spray , boogie wipes , regular wipes , sunglasses ,headphones , head band  , headache pills {it has come on handy more than once } , q tips ,lip care , extra chargers , tape measure and extra small tools .











Shoe storage ; to be honest with you this unit is very small and it does not hold all our shoes but it does hold our day to day shoes {some of my tennis shoes stay here but the more "fancy ones" are located in my closet .}





The boys every day shoes fit perfectly .








Don't you have a daughter ? you might ask , yes we do she is still small and her shoes are tiny and they don't fit in this cabinet properly so I gave her her own spot . This two baskets work perfectly for her day to day shoes{like her mamma she also has a "fancy shoe storage " in her closet} .









 Also I like to put a small basket next to the stairs for those items that wonder upstairs from the playroom that have to be Brough back down at some point of the day .




until next time ..

Books a plenty



I most confess that I have a slight addition to books !! idk what is about them I love them from styling and fashion books to decorating and fiction books I love them all !! nothing like a good book and a cup of joy {tea normally} in the morning or honestly at any time of the day .






                                 *this are not all my styling books



My life is a bit busy but I try to read at least 30 mins a day thats the time I dedicate to myself for zen purposes its what keeps me sane {couch couch *}.


I can read a verity of things I love all kinds of book my favorite author by far has to be Ann Rice there is not a book of her that I haven't read and that I have not loved!! I honestly just sink in to every single one of her stories , so much I feel that I'm part of them seeing how they develop is just mesmerizing , I just can't put it down .

But the books I will be talking about today are some of my coffee table /styling books. I try to incorporate any book in every design I make .There something about it,  from a pretty cover to a pretty binder or just in general interesting is a most have conversational piece in any room or space.

Here I'm bringing some of my favorite books ..


Fashion :Chanel ; Collections and Creations







Inspirational : Chanel ;And Her Word







Design:Allegra Hicks ; An Eye For Design












Styling :Cupcake and Cashmere ; At Home








Organizing: Real Simple ; The Organized Home
