"Hob-knobbing" about*

Have you ever been at a party and asked the host, perhaps trying to be helpful, "Where's your silverware drawer?" I have a time or two...

and often he or she has their hands full or they point to a seeming endless, fun-house row of drawers and say, "that one," and I have no idea and open every one but the right one until last. This scenario proves why the person who created this cute drawer pull above is a genius.

a little side note from dictionary.com:

hob·nob   [hob-nob] verb, -nobbed, -nob·bing, noun

verb (used without object)

1. to associate on very friendly terms (usually followed by with ): She often hobnobs with royalty.

2. Archaic . to drink together.

3. noun- a friendly, informal chat.

synonyms: chum around, consort, fraternize, hang around, hang out with, keep company, knock around with, mingle, mix, pal, pal around, rub elbows, rub shoulders, socialize, spend time

So, having settled on Peacock Blue for my lovely vanity-turned-sideboard/sidebar, I now have to decide on the BEST SHADE of Peacock Blue... any help? And I am also getting ahead of myself maybe and so very excited as you see about cute knobs! That is the fun part...like sampling the icing ;)

Any last minute summer projects you have going? Hope you are having a fun weekend!

Eye Candy for Beachy Design Lovers

Well, hello there!

Hope you are having a fabulous day, lovelies. Enjoy these beachy interiors!

I love the art, the muted colors, and the chair covers!

Could you hang out in this kitchen for a while?

Aren't the white dresser and bedding and blue chair fabulous with this view?

With this bedroom, the design would be easy...

I love the hardwood combination with the soft fabrics... especially loving the vanity right now ;)

Another cute kitchen... love the height on this sink... the right height on sinks does wonders.

Before digital life, I had the hard copy of this cover ripped out and saved since I loved it so much. Everything is perfect!

What is your favorite? I'm leaning toward the blissful bedroom.

Hope you enjoyed the vanity score I just posted about :)

Here in Miami Beach we've had record highs and it is now finally cooling off to the 80s today.

I can't get enough beach, blue, green, and great design... hope you enjoyed these lovelies.
