Christmas Traditions (Balance with Books!)

Marco the Elf enjoying a good read

Well, don’t we have very nice boys in our house all of a sudden! It has A LOT to do with The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition of course! Marco joined us two days ago and already Diego catches himself before being rude to Santi, talking back to me, or ignoring Jordi. [Read more...]

Just Browsing

While in Baltimore last week I had a chance to slip away with Baby Jordi strapped to my chest for a cup of coffee and some peace and quiet. As I was walking back to the hotel I spotted one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie, and immediately thought, “What a bummer! I can’t try anything on!”.

Coffee Table Books

Pinterest

I spent today’s nap time on Pinterest for a little inspiration and found this awesome image of coffee table books with a touch of pink! What is going on with me??? Is it the level of testosterone around here that is making me scream PINK!? It’s going to be okay…my obsession with pink and my obsession with displaying books! I realized all the images I fell in love with had a touch of pink.

I love the idea of putting coffee table books on chairs or anything else besides an actual coffee table. How cool is that chair with the Chanel book on it?

Gosh, to have these many beautiful books to display under and over the coffee table. Gorgeous!

My turn…!!!

This is the area in my dining room I want to add some new coffee table books…notice it already has the pink touch!!
My picture is not as good as the ones above but not too shabby right? I went to my bookshelves to find some books…

I would like some high fashion books now. I notice I don’t have any. I guess I never displayed these with Sitting Buddha because I wanted to keep it black, white and pink. I learned today that it doesn’t really matter to match everything perfectly.

That was my project today! I think Sitting Buddha is happier to have some more books around. AND I think I officially have books in every room now!

What inspires you? Looks like Pinterest is really working for me!! It made a room a little brighter today with things I already owned, I took out my camera for some photography practice and I wrote a bit! Not a bad nap time!
