Saturday

Good morning! I know I've been a little scarce this week, quite frankly I just didn't have much to say. Been super busy just doing boring life stuff like catching up on laundry after the holiday weekend and hanging out outside a lot with Lucy. 

I do have some of this awesome low-fat banana bread baking in the oven right now. It's pairs so yummy with a morning cup of coffee or my favorite the 3 pm is it time for daddy to come home yet? cup of coffee.  You can find the easy recipe here. 

I also have great news if you want another chance to win a Shabby Apple Dress. One of my favorite people in the whole world is giving one away! You can visit her here.

I hope you all have a happy, relaxing, full weekend!

Mary McDonald

Much has been said around the blogosphere about BRAVO's new hit show Million Dollar Decorators. My personal favorite standout is Glamour Girl, Mary McDonald. While her style is quite a bit more over the top than mine I can still appreciate her awesome mash up of modern, feminine & glossy. 

Her flooring choices are what have inspired me most. I'm in love with all of the pattern painted floors she does. I've seriously been considering a chevron painted garage floor- why can't a garage be pretty too?

Not only is her work gorgeous but so is her wardrobe! Those big chunky necklaces paired with easy breezy tunics make her the poster girl for California Chic. 

Have you watched the show yet? What are your thoughts? If I could change anything we'd see more of Mr. Nathan Turner. 

Below Mary is trying to convince her client the floors will be great once the rest of the installation is complete. 

She was so right!

Last October Mary put a book out available on Amazon here
