Belle Nursery~

I recently visited my favorite nursery, Briggs Garden and Home, for some spring inspiration!  This place really gets my creative juices flowing especially for planning my patio and once the weather ever warms up,  gardening ideas.  I love the unique merchandise they offer; from beautiful reclaimed wood items, unique light fixtures, organic water features, coral, terrariums, fresh lavender, and a huge array of greenery, just to name a small few. 

A cute little cafe in the back offers delicious lattes and yummy breakfast/lunch sandwiches!  The best time to visit, in my opinion is the late spring-summer, the amazing selection of gardening plants and flowers in the exterior of the property is impressive, it surely will excite the green thumbs!  The kiddos will enjoy it also, with a cute swing area and a sweet & ginormous pig, yes a real pig, to say hello to!  If you live in the area, a must visit!!

Design in Motion~

 Happy World Water Day!  I love using the naturally beautiful element of water in home design.  I don't know about you but it has a calming effect on me.   Some expressions of the flowing form can be seen in art, water features, wall decor, & lighting, just to name a few...

Amazing Exterior Fountain

Wow, This is Wallpaper!

Water Drop Lighting-a magical feel!

Unfortunately not everyone, as we know, has access to clean water, thankfully many wonderful organizations are doing what they can to help.  One company I love is Ethos Water Fund!   It's my absolute favorite water, Ethos is sold at Starbucks, it's so crisp & clear of any after taste, I'm actually obsessed with it.  I tried to order in bulk, which led me to finding out about World Water Day.  The best part is they donate a portion of each bottle sold to help children receive clean water, please try a bottle!! 

To learn more about how you can help, visit water.org!
Have a great weekend!!

Weekend Recap~

I hope your weekend was relaxing or re-energizing, whichever your currently craving!

I spent mine the best way with friends, family and a little shopping....

I brightened up my kitchen with some Daffodils from Trader Joe's

How cute/ funny is the St.Patty's card my aunt sent me!

I took a long awaited visit to Hudson Boston, 

I love everything in this store!  Wonderfully curated, colorful and inspirational vignettes!  I stopped into the South End boutique for some design eye candy!  If you haven't been and are in the area it's a must see!

           

Just look at the brick wall with vintage books perfectly imperfectly arranged!

I fell in love with this rope covered console-in a beach home~ perfection!

The amazing Showroom!

Made some Festive Cupcakes~

I made a batch of (somewhat healthier) cupcakes for a family get together.

 New Blog Crush~

I recently found the lovely, "Milk & Honey Home", eclectic decor with an organic elegant style.  Be sure to check out their Portfolio!

Happy Monday!
