Lawn Minimalism with Creeping Red Fescue

I have been totally inspired by Kelly Behun's home in Elle Decor  to complete pull out the piles of random bushes and make a clean boarder of Creeping Red Fescue - the long swirly grass that is chic beyond and used in LA in stunning ways. Problem is that I was quoted $26,000 to do this — can you imagine? So now I am planting with seed for a couple hundred and it is working. I started with a small patch and now I am going to go for it. My back yard is a mess but will post when it is done. 

In Search for the Perfect Pink Box

I have always wanted to and now I am going to turn my closet into an office. Remember this post HERE?
I am totally desperate to find these exact pink boxes - I have found so many that are close but no cigar.
Where did this photo come from? Have you seen this anywhere anyone? 

Love these Kate Spade Boxes Via HERE  that pink works but I am searching for more variety. 

3 Landscaping ideas .... Just a thought.

This is beyond cool BUT I can only imagine my gardeners charging me double if I dared put it in. 

Via Inner Gardens: I told my husband that I was desperate for one of these purple trees - then oddly enough we actually had one.  Love the symmetry of two flanking a house .

Dramatic and Fun I love these plants in white gravel - They look like sculptures. 

On The Hunt For....

I am on the hunt for this perfect color lavender throw (feeling like it could be Ralph Lauren cashmere) AND a 50" glass or distressed wood Lazy Susan under $200. Help. Also QQ Do you think I should start posting my mini makeovers at home or wait for the big reveal? 

Steal this Wine Barrel idea from Entertainologist Lulu Powers

My son's room is looking a little to Ikeaish and needs a rustic modern touch. Love this idea from Entertainologist Lulu Powers: Via HERE

"This is such a chic idea for your backyard or for outdoor parties. Home Depot has 18″ whiskey barrels for $30 and Bed Bath & Beyond has 20″ glass table toppers for $8.99. For $38.99 you can make your own whiskey barrel tables! "

FOUND - Dream Pool

I love this pool from this month's AD: Right now I have red brick surrounding my pool but my dream is to switch it to wood exactly like this - To Chic. What is your dream pool trim?

Good Decorating Choices - Chic Floor Lamp

There is nothing better for  a dweller without a decorator when he or she  knows that they have made a good decorating choice. My living room always looks dark but I just bought 4 Restoration Hardware lamps that look invisible but make a serious impact. I know what you are thinking 4 is excessive and too matchy matchy but it works and adds big drama. Granted, two out of the four showed up broken so I will show you the quad when the others show. SO EXCITED!

This is the lamp:
