…in historic homes in New Orleans on carpet, rugs, furniture, etc

My husband and I spent our Christmas break in New Orleans with his side of our family. We had a lovely holiday! While in the great city of New Orleans, I got to take a tour of old homes in the Quarter with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and Grandma-in-law.  It was a nice girls day out and we saw some really beautiful Historical homes.  While touring, of course I saw tons of pattern.  Aaaaaand I got a brand new fancy shmancy camera from my amazing hubby!  A Canon EOS Rebel T3i to be exact!  So I was trying that bad boy out! I am splitting these pictures up into three posts bc there is so many.  Enjoy group 1!

Hey thats me in the mirror reflection with my new camera! :)  By the way, pretty awesome piece of furniture, right?  I would totally put makeup on everyday if I had this to sit down at! Okay, no I wouldnt, buuuuut it is a great piece… 

 Hope you enjoyed this first set of patterns from the homes I visited. I wish I remembered the addresses of each home we saw.  The tour is called, Creole Christmas Tour, and I believe it is put on each year by Friends of the Cabildo.  Please correct me if I am wrong on this.  Visit their website here for more info.  More great interior patterns from these homes to come!

XOXO,

Whitney

on journals at Half Priced Books in Dallas.

This weekend, I spent some time in Half Priced Books trying to make a dollar selling my old books that I dont have use for anymore.  I ended up waiting for a good hour and a half only to receive a whopping 12 bucks for my books! None the less, while waiting, I stumbled into the stationary section.  I found these cool patterned journals and snapped a few iPhone photos of the lovelies. Great African patterns and much more.  

PS- Half Priced Books buys cds, dvds, VHS (which I thought was pretty shocking that people actually own VHS players nowadays and there were a lot of people in the VHS isle). Cra cra!  Buy a dvd player already.  I mean really now you can just stream movies! Anywho, HPB will also either buy your old magazines or recycle them for you.  So I WILL be going back soon.  :)  Twelve dollars times two equals almost a 4th of a hundred!  hehe  Im rollin in the doe! Thx Half Price Books!  :)

on my Christmas presents this year!

Actually, I PAINTED pattern on my Christmas presents this year!  I have been so inspired by Pinterest lately.  Click here to go to my Pinterest page.  There are so many great DIY ideas on Pinterest and so much more.  It gets my creative juices flowing!  :)  So, I decided to get crafty this year and paint my Christmas presents.  Chevron is absolutely one of my favorite patterns.  So that is what I decided to do. Check out more pics of this on my personal blog by clicking here.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year!

on rugs!

I am on the hunt for a living room floor rug.  These are some iPhone pics I randomly took to send to my husband to get his opinion.  I ended up not sending them bc I thought the photographs came out better than the actual rugs.  :)  Also, I am forever changing my mind on what style of rug I want for my home.  This is going to be a long process!  Anyway, I wanted to share with you the patterns!  YAY!
