Guess Who's Ba(ra)ck


I nearly choked on my morning coffee when I looked at this picture quickly & thought Michelle Obama was wearing cut off leather gloves!!  Her hand entwined with Malia's makes for a pretty funny effect...whoooaaa, first lady means business in the second term, all in black, smokey eyed & ready to kick ass...I promise I'll eat more vegetables Michelle, I promise I'll eat more vegetables!  Just don't hurt me!  Barack on the other hand looks like he hasn't slept in days (which he probably hasn't) & that little ray of sunshine Malia has the freshness of a daisy that only 14 year olds can carry off so effortlessly.  Oh it's going to be an interesting four more years.....

Every Man, Woman & Child

One of my sister's dated a guy who loved the Carney women so much (I have an amazing mom & two amazing sisters) that he said if he were running for office his platform would be "a Carney woman for every man!"  We of course got a kick out of this & just adored him, I mean he has exquisite taste after all ;)  With the election season reaching a head, it has me feeling a bit icky as usual...the candidates...meh...the mudslinging..."candidate evil will let your mom die of cancer!"..to which I shout to no one in particular "YOUR mom!"  Some are even convinced, with just cause, that we are on our way to becoming China's bitch.  Now I'm not one to get overly involved in politics but if I were running for design office, without a doubt my platform would be "a chandelier & fireplace for every man, woman & child!"  It's true...I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic & my first design proposal to every one of my clients almost always involves a chandelier, fireplace or ideally both.  What can I say?  They instantly add glamour & coziness to any space & I truly think the world would be a better place if we all came home to crystal chandeliers glittering in the firelight.  Oh & let's all get out there tomorrow, pull those levers & hope for the best!

The definition of chic & cozy, swooning over this...
City swank...
Country comfort & coziness, love those beat up beams...
