{ahh romo}

I am a HUGE fan of wallpapers (if used correctly), I would have to say that Romo has some of the best selection in wall coverings that I have seen. Beautiful patterns!!

{marimekko}

Love... Love... Love... Finnish Designer Marimekko. My dearest Finnish friend Nekku brought me back the CUTEST Marimekko umbrella from Finland while she was home for Christmas break, however, I haven't been able to really make much use of it since it has hardly snowed since than. Check out these pictures that use just a few of her awesome graphic prints.

Happy Mardi Gras!!! I love the season on Lent, such a great reminder of the sacrifice Christ made for us. For Lent I am giving up alcohol and Matthew is giving up meat...should be tricky for both of us, but I am pretty certain we will be able to handle it. I will miss the occasional glass of wine though. We will be celebrating Fat Tuesday tonight by watching the Olympics, going to all you can eat sushi, and having a couple last glasses of wine. Cheers.

I absolutely LOVE these mirrored pitchers...they would be so beautiful used as a vase with fresh spring flowers in them or used to serve mojitos in the summer time!!!

Happy Valentines Day to all! I am so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life that love me and such an amazing boyfriend who always tells me how much he adores me! Can't wait to use my day of pampering at the spa my valentine gave me...He sure knows how to treat me like a princess!

Came across this photographer a while back, I think he is amazing. The chandelier picture is my favorite of the 5. Check his website out Jonny Valiant

{love is in the air}

Valentines day is less than a month away.... I found these lovely ideas from Martha Stewart. I really love the conversation heart cookies and heart shaped chocolate fudge in those pretty boxes. It is my goal to make some for my wonderful friends and family...hopefully I can find some time with my busy school schedule. I also am loving these beautiful centerpieces made from multi-colored roses. Je t'aime~

{Favorite SLC Building}

I have always thought that the old Hansen Planetarium was one of my favorite historic buildings in Salt Lake. It was built in 1905 and was the cities first public library, later it served as the home for the Hansen Planetarium from 1968 to 2003. Recently it went under a HUGE makeover to become the flagship store for the Utah owned O.C. Tanner jewelry company. It is UNREAL! I am amazed at how beautifully they re-did this fantastic building, inside and out! Check out these pictures that were featured in last months Utah Style and Design!
