A few things I have fallen in love with over the last week or so...

Bought this vintage fur coat in mint condition.  I have been hitting the thrift shop lottery lately!  (Sorry for the bad photo, this picture does not do it justice).

I am in love with these Emerson Fry pants.  She makes so many great things.  If you haven't checked her out, please look her up!  Image found via.

This living room is love at first site for me.  I don't think there is one thing about this room that I would change, perfection.  Spotted via Jamie Meares. 

The only reason I started watching The Real Housewives of New York this last year was because of Carole Radziwill.  I am finally getting around to reading her memoir, What Remains and while I am only about halfway through it is a really moving memoir.

Over-dyed Rugs

Confession: I have a recent obsession with dye.  I've never dyed anything before but with all of the recent DIY's popping up everywhere I suddenly have the urge to over-dye everything in my house.  After seeing this I am about 10 seconds from trying this one.  The only thing stopping me is my husband will be home before I can have it completed.  Knowing him he will try to get me to be rational, which of course is no fun at all, although sometimes necessary.

if i had a billion dollars

Everyone has an idea of what they would want their dream house to look like and I thought it would be fun to actually plan mine out.  And since I am always daydreaming of it, why not put it all on paper?  So here is my house if money was never an object and I could just do as I pleased.  Now, unless I win the lottery this is probably not a reality, which would be pretty difficult since I don't play the lottery...and I don't have any multi-million dollar inheritances headed my way either so this one is just for play.  But a girl can dream, right?

I love colonial homes but the more I think about it I really think my dream home would be a spanish style home.  They are just so rich and timeless looking and look great with bright colors throughout.  I realize that not all of the rooms are consistent with the style of the house and may not go together realistically but this is after all a dream, remember?
