Happy "Dream Home" Year!!

Posted by lasta Tuesday, November 30, 2010

OK, HGTV...you finally got me. You actually went and built my dream home!!! Wow! Oh what a way to start the New Year, dreaming about a modern adobe house set in New Mexico...ahhhh! I have to admit that although HGTV's "Dream Homes" are always nice, I never really gave them any thought. It never occurred to me to think about entering or anything... but This One? I'm going to do it! I know it sounds ridiculous to think I might win, but this really is the home Mark and I have imagined over and over for years! Having grown up as West Texas kids, who often traveled to New Mexico, we can't get the landscape out of our systems and y'all know how I feel about Santa Fe!


Waking up to a wall of windows overlooking the grounds, is definitely part of the dream:)




Are You Reading...

Posted by lasta Monday, September 21, 2009

All The Best's "Best Bedroom" contest? Ooh, its so inspiring and the cast of judges is INSANE!! In fact they are a little intimidating, I think. Anyway, check it out here!


I can't decide which I love more...a more traditional approach or a funkier one? They are all gorgeous!

Beautiful Headboard

Posted by lasta Tuesday, September 15, 2009


Hello, all! I'm writing an early morning post, because I've been up most of the night. The kid decided he didn't need much sleep, so neither did we; apparently. Ha!
So by pure coincidence, I'm thinking about headboards today;-) I do love this charming idea from Marie Claire Maison. Its quite simple, but sooo inspiring! In fact, I love everything. From the shelf above the window, with those amazing bags to white the pillowcases with cool red lettering.
P.S. I've been taking many, many photos lately and will be sharing them later this week. See you then.

Take A Deep Breath...Just Relax.

Posted by lasta Friday, July 24, 2009

Close your eyes and breath deeply.
Veeery deeply.
I'm considering having myself put into a deep meditative state to overcome my creative funk.
Just let go of all cares and maybe my brain will do a hard reset. Aahhhh.
Don't know if it will work, but its worth a try, no?
I found two amazing bedrooms that would be just right for this process. I think they are perfect for weekend unwinding.

Hope all of you get to relax this weekend, too:)

Kid Free Weekend

Posted by lasta Saturday, January 10, 2009

I'm off for a kid free weekend, so no Sunday Abstraction.
I'm going to be occupied w/ other things!
P.S. Check out the fabulous bedroom inspirations at Desire to Inspire.

Oh, The Other Carolina!!

Posted by lasta Wednesday, January 7, 2009

I say this jokingly of course. This article is about Carolina Herrera Jr...pas moi.
This apartment is so wonderful with all of its beautiful color and pattern.
Funny enough, I think my favorite part is the found blackboard,
Carolina uses to collect photos and notes.



Those of you who read regularly, know I'm not big on too many patterns,
but I am fascinated with this bedroom!
What don't I like about this article? Now I feel like the frumpiest Carolina around:(

Hotel Palacio de los Patos

Posted by lasta Sunday, November 30, 2008






As usual, every time I have several days off; I wind up wishing for more time off. Anyone else feel like that? It just seems harder to get back into the swing of things. So, today instead of thinking of work; I'm thinking of the Hotel Palacio de los Patos, in Granada Spain. (I know its a mouth-full). I've always dreamed of traveling to Spain, and this hotel would be a place I would go. Its very beautiful and wonderfully eclectic:)

Serene Weekend.

Posted by lasta Thursday, October 23, 2008




Hope everyone has a great weekend. Personally, I would love to spend it in a place like this, enjoying life's simple pleasures. This brings up an interesting question. For me, time in a peaceful place like this with my family, my camera, and access to great coffee is my definition of heaven. How do all of you define a perfect weekend?

Sensual Color

Posted by lasta Friday, April 25, 2008

Happy Friday, everyone! I am going to keep this post short, because I woke up with the world's worst migraine! As soon as I can look at the monitor a little longer, I will post pictures of a fun get-together I went to last night :)
I couldn't resist showing off these beautiful pictures. It is a British home that consists of my favorite color palette. I am drawn to the chocolate and red tones in the wood combined with creamy tones and varying shades of purple. I've always found these colors very sensual.

The bright settee gives the room a jolt of life. I also love the jewel tone, purple chair. The fabric looks like it might be velvet or mohair. I love either fabric, because the color becomes multi-dimensional. I found these images via Desire to Inspire.

Creative Headboard.

Posted by lasta Tuesday, March 18, 2008



I love this headboard via Living Etc. and House Martin. It is actually constructed from hollow core doors, that were finished as a contemporary art piece. Such a simple idea that makes a huge impact. What if there were shelves behind the bed, and the doors were hung as sliding doors?
