Obsessed

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this gorgeous home that was featured on Design Sponge the other week. I believe it belongs to a designer who works for M Design Interiors, which would totally make sense since they do such amazing work. Anyway, do not be surprised if I end up painting my living room a deep royal blue and hanging coral pink silk curtains, because it's just too perfect not to rip off!

I've been away

... but I'm very happy to be back now! It's been a busy fall and I've found it harder and harder to keep up with my Peacock Feathers posts. But I miss being here, and I miss hearing from all of you. So here I am, ready to share some new projects and, of course, all the pretty things that inspire me! As for the picture above - well, I've been hanging a lot of new pictures in my house, so it seemed appropriate to me, even if it doesn't to anyone else! Anyway, back to blogging...

autumn

I'm longing for the deep, sexy jewel tones of fall... especially with bits of gleaming gold...

Glamour Shots by Little Nest

Please allow me to indulge myself. These are my little monkeys - Maude and Mabel - photographed by the very talented Alison from Little Nest Portraits. Yes, I had my kittens professionally photographed. To defend myself though, Little Nest was at Terrain earlier in the summer for a charity event. For $25, a person could bring in their child (or perhaps their kittens) for a quick one-on-one photo session. These were completed in about ten minutes and turned out quite lovely, don't you think?!

As an FYI, Little Nest was founded by the crazy-talented Laura Novak of Laura Novak Photography. If you're in the Philly/Wilmington area, do consider stopping by her studio. Or check out her blog and website here...

Bold colors and prints (two of my favorite things) show up all over the place in actress Megan Mullaly's Hollywood home, featured in this month's Elle Decor. The black and white peacock feather print wallpaper in the bathroom is particularly divine! How I'd love to re-do my guest bathroom in that print...

Wedding Bits and Pieces

A few of you have asked me about my wedding photos. Oh how I wish I could share them with you, but for the moment I have to keep them under wraps! In the meanwhile, here are a view glimpses of wedding decor that have found a new home in my home. These amazing striped banners are some of my favorite pieces from the whole wedding. Created as welcome banners to flank the main entrance to the ceremony, they were custom-made by my colleague Matt Muscarella with gorgeous calligraphy by Melissa Kistler. Now they hang in my guest bedroom over the pillow-strewn daybed. The kittens seem to approve, and so do I...
