Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful Easter Weekend! We have been enjoying a little R&R....

This sight never gets old...do you agree?

So I have found a few things around the web lately that I am totally diggin and I wanted to share with all of you in hopes that some of you dig what I dig? (WAY too many people diggin..HA!)

Aren't these Summer Ice Cubes Amazing? I need to drink more water on a daily basis and these would be not only healthy but fabulous to look at!

Did you know that you can go to Home Depot and buy at 4ft x 8ft sheet of white panel board to make your own white boards! One sheet only costs $12 and they will cut it to any size you want.

I am thinking of something like this for the Hub's office makeover....

I am seriously Crushing on Caitlin Wilson's new Spring textile line. So many fabulous colors and patterns, you must check them out!

How adorable is this reclaimed wood dog bowl holder? This wood was rescued from an old pub in downtown Raleigh. My sister-in law and brother have created some neat pieces from the old wood. You can check out their etsy site HERE. I can't wait for my reclaimed wood coffee table to be complete!

I found this gift idea on pinterest. The guys are always left out during the baby showers....why not bring them a little something too. Such a cute gift idea! Here is what was included in this daddy doody shower gift: Diapers, Diaper rash cream, gloves, goggles (home depot, about $2.50), face mask (home depot-$2.00), clothes pin for your nose, tongs for diaper disposal, hand sanitizer, baby wash, wash cloth, baby food, spoon, pacifier, baby socks, wipes and tylenol (for dad). Too cute!! Love it!

Have you ever heard of Minted? We ordered our Christmas cards from them this year and they were wonderful! Minted is made up of independent artists that can customize art prints, announcements and stationary just for you. You must go to the site if you haven't already. I think their prices are very reasonable and who wouldn't want to support an independent artist!?

Well those are my random thoughts for the day! Hope you have a wonderful Monday my friends!

Friday Faves!!

Oh how I have missed all of you! It has been a whirlwind the past couple of weeks and that has left me NO time to blog and converse with all of you! I did catch up on all of my responses to your questions, so make sure you either check your email or the post on which you left a comment!!

I don't have much for you today, but wanted to give you a little ahhh moment and a break away from your work on a Friday afternoon.

Here are some of my favorite inspirational pictures that keep me going when my schedule is so crazy!!

Who wouldn't die for a room full of shoes!?

Some beautiful french doors leading into the garden....don't you just want to take a nap!?

Love the beach and all those shades of blue!

Doesn't a house in the trees look enchanting?

A good soaking bath always relaxes the mind!

This is the perfect porch swing! I could swing all day long!

A House on a lake just seems right, don't you think?

Can't wait for the cooler weather and ohhh those fabulous colors!

Love an outdoor shower!

And....nothing quite beats time with girlfriends!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! What inspires you and keeps you going on those

crazy weeks where you just want to run away!??

Favorite Things {Giveaway}!!

Ok...lets try this again. Sorry if you were unable to comment on the previous giveaway post. Lets give this a second try!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. You are probably wondering if I finished my mile long project list? Well...NO! But there is always next weekend right?

I did pick a paint color for the entryway and can't wait to share it with all of you this week as well as my Linen Closet Makeover! Pics coming tomorrow!

Okay, on to the fun part.....Eat.Sleep.Decorate's favorite things giveaway!!! I am now over my 50 followers and would like to do something for all of you that support me and read my crazy posts each day!
It was so much fun going shopping for a few of my favorite things. I seriously could have spent thousands, but I told you last week...I am no Oprah people!

One lucky winner will receive:

A Set of Crate & Barrel's Paper napkins and Paper Placemats by Marimekko! I just adore paper placemats. I think they were one of the best inventions ever made. My mother-in-law bought me some for Christmas from West Elm and they really make for a fast clean-up! 

Four Cutie Patootie bowls from Anthropologie. These bowls are so very versatile. You can use them for a midnight ice cream snack or for storing your earrings and bracelets in your top dresser drawer! Gotta Love some Anthro!

My absolutely Favorite candle on Planet Earth! (Not sure what they might have on other planets!) You will love it too! I have never spent $16.00 on one candle before, then I became obsessed! At least it lasts for a long while! Another awesome Anthro Find!

And Last, but certainly not least.....chalkboard labels and white chalk from Martha's new home office collection at Staples! There are 12 labels in all. These would be perfect to organize a kids playroom or label your baking ingredients in your pantry.

So......not too shabby huh? I can't wait to see who wins! This is MY favorite part!
