Mad ♥ Mondays
: Monday, April 4, 2011
Well good afternoon (evening?) my sweet friends!! It has been quite the busy last two weeks for me! Last weekend was the BFF’s bridal shower and then the boy and I drove down to LA for a few days & he shot a Two Faced event…um, holler! Lola and I got to enjoy the dog beach with Lydia, Mary & Heidi..(& Rilo, Frank & Roxy too!!) We came back to reality mid week and this past weekend has been spend doing a shoot, having a fabulous coffee date with a dear friend and a baby shower! Phew…The month of April is already wearing me out and it’s only the 4th! Less than 4 weeks away from Wynter’s big day! AH! I cannot wait! The details are all coming together perfectly and I can’t wait to share the images!
But I’ll shut up and get to the good stuff =)
#1. I want mix match chairs in my house around my table like these. that’s all.

#5. This app is way too convenient and cute. I’m a stickler for paying for apps but this one might just win me over.

#6. {drum roll please} My favorite thing on today’s post. I love it so much, in fact, that I built one of these bad boys today =)

Wanna know how I did it? Um, no biggie! I actually did a step by step tutorial for all you visual learners like me!
Step #1: Start with an old beat up suitcase that was given to you from a sweet friend for props or something like that =) {thanks Suz!}
Step #2: Go to your local hardware store and purchase some table legs, screws, and um, some silver things that go into the suitcase.
Step #3: Get your stain on!
Step #4: Be a little bit random and stain the suitcase too!
Step #5: If your table legs did not come with screws already in them, stick em in!
Step #6: Screw in the silver things 
Step #7: Admire your pretty stained table legs and then screw them into the silver things on the suitcase!
Step #8: And…….VOILA!
The most adorable table in the world.
Sweet Little Leia
: Wednesday, March 30, 2011
I could not wait to photograph precious little Leia. Once Ashlee & Tyler booked her session, it’s all I could think about. The thought of newborns was constantly on my brain! Of course, she didn’t disappoint. She is such a beautiful baby and while she didn’t really want to sleep during our session, she still was a perfect little girl.
Thank you Ash and Ty for letting me document this amazing part of your life.

How does Monday creep up ever SO quickly?! Hope you all had a lovely week and wonderful weekend! I spent the weekend with my boy celebrating his birthday. I’m pretty dang happy that he was born a quarter of a century ago =) We had a pretty lazy weekend due to the insane stormy weather. Luckily today was absolutely gorgeous and we were able to spend a little time in San Luis Obispo and then walked a bit around Pismo this afternoon! I got him this fun Holga film camera from Urban that he’s been eying. Since I’m a spoiled digital kid I’ve never used a film camera and have absolutely no clue how to work it. Lucky for me, Darren learned on film so he busted out his Minolta for me to use today and we loaded up the film cameras and strolled about shooting each other and things in Pismo! It was so much fun, except the part where you can’t see the photo right after =) Impatient much?
Which brings me to my first thing on this week’s Mad Love…
#1. This fun film camera!

#2. Ruffled blog did a post about Lulu’s! A great shop with aaaaaaadorable stuff! How stinkin cute would this outfit be? It would be perfect for a Bridal Shower or even a wedding!

#3. This pillow makes me happy. As does this light, airy bedroom….oh & that map.

#4. Two Brunettes Shop is closing! Luckily the studio is staying open for custom designs but if you’re looking for some adorable stationary or anything of the paper sort go check out what’s left of this awesome sale!!

#5. THIS to do list needs to be in my hand asap! How cute and organized is this! If you know me, you know how much I (a.) like to do lists…and (b.) like organization! holler!

ps. please bare with me…I prooooomise there will be posts of actual people soon =)
Adore this. Hmm. May have to try it myself. Let’s see what I find thrift shopping in the next few days!
Nice job on the suitcase. Looks great! I saw that on Design Sponge too. I love the duvet cover on the bed but people say it’s no longer at Ikea. Darn!
Great Idea Megan! I have been getting old suitcases (The kinds with the hard exterior) and painting on them. It’s fun and they turn out really cute! I am definitely going to have to try your idea too!
Love it, missed that on design sponge, but it’s a great idea!
good to see you Saturday!
I think this is pretty awesome, I would like to try to make something like this….definitely good job and looks legit. Did you put stain on the suitcase or was it that color?
