Klepto Files: First Edition
I thought I’d start a weekly round up of the steal-worthy fabulousness I see around the web and rack up a little link love in the process. Here’s my inaugural post:
My boss’s blog is genius. It’s called Cooking With My Kid and it’s getting mentioned everywhere cool and crafty, including Daily Candy. Um, go Rebecca go! I’m into these Bite-Sized Greek Salads that she made this week. They look SOOO pretty. Except I don’t like olives so I’m thinking I’d replace that with a little red onion and maybe sprinkle the platter with oregano to give it some extra Greek-ish-ness since removing the olives seems sacrilege.
I love Style Blueprint. They just won the Toast of Music City’s best local blog. Am I surrounded by fabulous bloggers or what? This DIY Herbal Infused Water is a GREAT idea for the dog days of summer. I had the cucumber basil one at Elizabeth’s house this week and it was just the most refreshing thing ever.
I’ve been thinking about doing some silhouettes for my in-progress doggie lounge. Prudent Baby has some adorable projects, including this Vintage Plate Cameo Hanging. And it just so happens that there current give-away is a Custom Cameo Necklace. Uhh … cuteness!
I’ve got an idea that I’m going to try to slip cover a chair all by myself here before the summer is out. So I’ve been stalking Pink & Polka Dot. I love the wing chair featured here!
I love Miss Mustard Seed’s dining room. Especially the blue and white stuff, the gold framed chalk board, and the antlers! It’s a similar vibe to what I’m going for in our den … but I’m aiming for a little more beachy in the den than Miss Mustard Seed has going on here. Still, the color combo and the simplicity of it all is drool-worthy. Get a load of it!
Update: Just after I posted this, Miss Mustard Seed put up a full post on her dining room. Here it is.
And then there’s my perennial fav, Nest Egg, another Nashville blogger. I love Rachel’s style. It’s got just enough of that good, Southern, lived in look to keep it from being stuffy … but it’s still so chic. Check out this nursery she posted this week. I’m really wanting to steal that pleated curtain trim for the guest bedroom. Just love it!
That’s it for this week! Hope you like this new feature. This way, you’ll hear from me at least once a week. Forgive me for being so MIA lately. Our air conditioner has been out for like a MONTH and it’s just too hot around Chez Perry for any home improvement projects and I’m DEFINITELY not doing any sort of entertaining in the “oven”. But I’ll be back in the swing of things real soon!
