Happy Wednesday: as always loving some of the new prints Urban Outfitters has in their wallpaper!

I love my downtown condo.

But one day I fear I will have to move out into a house and there are only a couple things that will convince me to move. Stone Mantel fireplaces, china cabinets, and craft rooms.

Loving these beautiful stone mantel fireplaces….heaven!

We all know I am absolutley obsessed with fancy outdoor dinner parties. I threw one last year for my birthday, also the night I got engaged. You can see the pictures here.

Anyway for my second outdoor party we will be doing one for my bachlorette party. It needs to be even fancier and more beautiful than the first. I needed to drum up some ideas for my bridesmaids and they help me throw this epic night.

I think once I own my own house this will be a regular occurance.

At some point I would love to have one in the country out by my parents house – do it a bit more rustic.

The girls and I are already dreaming up ways to do something with lighting. Since my sister is McGiver and has more Christmas lights than one needs I think we should be able to pull off something lovley.

Gold Chevarie chairs have already been rented – check.

I have been dreaming of doing one on a roof for years. But roofs seem to be hard to come by in Milwaukee. If anyone has one I can borrow you just let me know.

Festive mini champage bottles at each place setting are a must. The straws will be pink and white and I am picturing them with a small name tag attached to double as a place card.

Heaven!

I just found this bachlorette party on pinkterst. Heaven! I already rented the gold flatware….maybe I have to order some flowers too!

Can’t wait!

This Saturday I had my wedding shower on Chris’s side of the family. It was beautiful.

It was at the Briggs Mansion in Rockford IL.

My soon to be sister in law is a photographer and she was snapping pictures the whole day. I hope to share them when I get them!

I finally had chance to catch up on the newest issue of Adore Magazine. Here are a couple scenes I loved.

This dinner party is a little slice of heaven! I loved it! I might have to steal this idea for my bachlorette dinner party.

Next I loved this bedroom. Full of color and cheeriness! I have actually seen this wallpaper before and have been loving it. I have thought a bit about using it in my bedroom.

Love this chevron – can you tell I like the print!

I think I have talked before about how much I love canopy beds but I was just perusing them again. When Chris and I get a house I am for sure putting a canopy bed in my guest room. They are just so beautiful. I like fabric draping over them for drama but I love them without it too!

I am off to NYC for a couple days for work. Hope everyone has a great week!
