Leontine Linens

I finally had the opportunity to visit Leontine Linens last month and it was amazing!  The Magazine Street Flagship store is beautiful.  Aside from the gorgeous linens, they have fabulous lavender chandeliers as shown in the first photo above.  With their newly redesigned webpage, shopping and creating customized linens is better than ever.  You will be amazed by their font and fabric options - you can create something that is perfect just for you!

Kitchen Ideas...A Little Preview

Here's a peak at our new kitchen and a few of my ideas to lighten it up without actually painting. The green walls and wood cabinets are a bit darker than I am used to, although I really like them. Here is the "before" photo from the MLS.

Originally I thought a turquoise table like this would be great but my husband wasn't a fan...

So we opted for something colorful but a bit safer from Hurwitz Mintz.

I think Dash and Albert rugs are fantastic, so I thought this Aquinnah Woven Cotton Rug would pull in the turquoise color I love nicely...

When the boxes arrive tomorrow, I am looking forward to pulling out our cabbage dishes like these from Williams-Sonoma...perfect for Spring!

Since I am in the South, I am dedicated to trying my hand at entertaining with monogrammed linens...these from Leontine Linens are quite nice and match the color scheme...

For more punches of turquoise, I have started collecting the Le Creuset pieces in Caribbean blue. So far I only have the tea kettle but I hope to acquire a few more and start learning to make traditional New Orleans dishes in them. Plus, they look so pretty on display.

That's it for now. I have to go pack/umpack!

Loving Yellow

Now that we are in escrow on a yellow house, I am obsessed with the color! Here are some yellow inspirations that I am enjoying for spring.

We Found a House!

Sorry for my lack of posts...we got to New Orleans last week and are trying to get settled. We have an adorable 1890's yellow house in escrow! I can hardly believe we found it so fast.

Here are some of the items on my dream list.

French Quarter gas lanterns from here...

Maybe a Bon Bon Chandelier from here...

Beautiful decorations from Perch like this Rex Mirror...

And of course linens from here...

I don't want to jinx the escrow by gabbing too much about the house or showing photos just yet, but I have to say I am really excited about this new adventure for our family and our new place to call home!
