They're Here!

The pictures of my living room are done, and I love them!
First off, much thanks and hugs to my bestie Jaime Marshik, otherwiseknownas the most amazing and talented photographer I know. Jaime and her hubby, Charlie have a little blog. Y'all should go check it out... they have lots of fun doing neat things like planting gardens and taking crazy safaris in Africa.

So now we get to the pictures. Sorry folks it's a long post, but I don't care. I am so excited to debut my new space! If this doesn't scream Diva, I don't know what does. It is perfectly fabulous with out being overdone. More Kimora Lee Simons, less Mariah Carey. Check out how I got here from a few posts ago. And for those who are inspired, the source list is at the end.

"Oh why thank you House Beautiful, I would gladly allow you to publish photos of my house in your latest issue!"

Doesn't the shot above look reminiscent of my inspiration in House Beautiful?



The view from the breakfast area. Aren't these Barbie prints to die for?

Lola is such a pretty princess. I tell her all the time.

View from the entry way

I love you sparkly console table! Almost all the decor on this table is from Marshalls Home Goods.



View facing the kitchen.



Luv this shot. Hearts and kisses to you mirrored table + zebra chair combo. Another shot of her highness, Barbie.

This is my favorite part of the rug

Continuing with the detailed shots. I love that Jaime took the time for these.

I think that was Jaime's favorite part of the rug.
