Palatial Poolside

Create a hotel poolside feel in your own backyard.

Step 1: put a pool in, complete with landscaping. :)

Step 2: Surround it with big comfy chairs and chaises full of outdoor pillows.

Step 3: Put up some matching umbrellas

Step 4: Set some tables up around those chairs and chaises.

Step 5: Bring out the good stuff.

FHE Dice

FHE is {Family Home Evening} a program put together by the church I belong to.  It's a night where the family spend time learning and playing together.

Love this great substitute for the traditional FHE board that hangs on the wall.  You can buy them at {Say it On the Wall} for a VERY reasonable $5, or just use this image as inspiration for making your own. :)

Luau

You don't have to go here:

Or live here:

To party like you're in the islands.

All you need are amazing centerpieces in bright vibrant colors, lanterns hanging from the trees, pops of color everywhere, and a nice warm summer night.

You can decorate the edges of your tables with grass skirts, and fill hurricanes with tropical flowers.

You can cover a cake in toasted coconut and frost flowers around the edges.

You can serve drinks of every tropical color imaginable.

And of course a drink stand for the kids, too.

They could even party on a surf board!

Aloha!

Nicley done!  I like her necklace better, infact.

Are you as inspired as I am right now?

Bird Bath

Love this idea I saw on {Small Space Style}.  Cute little bird bath in your bathroom.  Perfect to hold and organize all those bath items in.  Isn't it cute!?

Backyard Beauties

What a lovely backyard this is!  Lov the natural looking planters, up against those white columns and fence.  So pretty!!  And the table isn't too shabby either!

Someday, I hope to have a seating area that looks this good in my backyard.

Isn't it lovely!?  LOVE that sheer drape over the top.  ahhhh I just want to sit there.

I love the look of outdoor living rooms.  So fun!  Outside, but still so comfortable.  It's easy, with a covered porch.

Even if you don't have this amazing view, you could still have a great outdoor living room.

So pretty and inviting!!  Love those pillows!

What a great outdoor dining space this is!  I'm in love with those hanging lanterns.  Think I could even make some like that. :)

Ahhh, sumertime....

Safari Party

Isn't this animal table perfect??  And those little wooden animal toys!!  I LOVE THEM!  Especially paired with those drums. :)

Especially perfect for an animal party??

LOVE those patterned placemats and napkins!!  And the plates are too cute, huh?

What a fun Safari idea...

Complete with a Safari jeep.  haha.  Gotta love Potterybarn!!  This is really cute, though.  Wouldn't your kids love it?  Mine would.

Exterior Love

Just sort of having a crush on this home's exterior.

Isn't it pretty!?  Love the grey and white and black...navy would be great, too.  And the trees.

And I really like the fact that you can't see the garage door from the street...a huge eyesore in most homes...but isn't this garage door and brick driveway so cute!?  I'd love to live here.

Pokadot Party

Saw this cute and simple party idea on {I Am Baker}

Just pokadots.

Of every color.

The cake is just frosted white with frosted cookies lining the outside.

She made frosted cookie pops for everyone.

And frosted pokadots. :)  Cute.
