The end of the year is here and it's time to review the goals from 2012 and set the ones for 2013. I think the above is perfect!

Ok, if there's one thing I really need to work on next year is my patience. Perhaps, I should hang this in my room as a reminder I will see everyday...

Loves This Week

Things I loved this week...

It's design month in Austin. A friend of mine joined me at Threshold Furniture for a fun-filled event, including some chats with various designers in town. I love to see the furniture pieces in this store, modern and funky, never mind I can't afford anything in here, it's fun to look at.

I have to say my book club chose an amazing book for this month's read. I don't consider myself politically savvy, and I've been highly annoyed with our government for some time. This book helped me understand exactly what all is going on. Granted it was written in '06, our problems are now worse;-( I recommend reading this book.

Drinks with a good friend. I can't lie I've been flying under radar for sometime and am finally ready to jump back onto the social wagon. 

My dog-child, Bronco, after playing on the Green Belt with his new friends this morning. I'm so excited we now go to the dog park and even have some play dates. This helps wear Mr. High Energy out...Mama can only run so much.

I love this pic, the entire thing. The desk and chair are fantastic, the color of the walls, the stack of books, the simplicity of the room...perfection!

I love dresses. One piece, jewelry and shoes...out the door you go. Nothing like a red dress either.

Random Loves This Week

The things I've enjoyed this week in no particular order...

Pucci Store Installation via Pinterest

My grandmother loved Pucci...and I love the color blocking in the Pucci store.

I dated a guy once who felt like flowers were a waste of money, so he bought me a plant. The plant was dead within 5 days...the same amount of time pretty flowers would have lived...Flowers always make me smile.

I love to sketch and this wall looks like one huge sketch board to me.

Coolest cafe, EVER!!! Built like lego blocks. I want to visit, now!

Breath of Fresh Air

Personally, I love color in my house. However, I ran across this simple white/metal like house and really liked it. I might like it because my world is overly hectic these days...craving something simple.

Relaxation

Master Bathroom pix only...I will not spring any peacock color designs in this post.

It's funny, I'm not a huge fan of wood yet, I've filed several wood type bathrooms in my pile of design things I like. Granted the above bathroom has a lot of key elements I want in my master bath some day- windows with tons of natural light, chandelier, glass shower & large tub. Why yes, I think I'll have a glass of wine with my bubble bath.

I couldn't resist this sparkly powder room. Sorry, the quality on this one is so poor.

Talk about some natural light...hello!!! Hope your neighbors like you.
