This rustic baby shower is so casually chic, it feels like your in the Parisian countryside.  The details look effortless, but the style is everywhere.  My favorites are the ‘diaper’ wrapped lemonade bottles, and the wooden planks and cutting boards used to serve food.

You know the term, “bring the outside in” when it comes to interior decorating…large open windows, lush greenery and flowers, even garden-style furniture pieces.  This trend is doing the opposite and bringing indoor pieces, outside for entertaining.  I love this idea because it really helps create a cozy atmosphere when you’re in the midst of wide… Read More
