i need a calming factor this monday morning....avett brothers, coffee, and a pale blush color palette is doing a decent job.   

we've decided to sell our house and so getting it ready has been chaotic.  if you happen to know anyone looking for a house in columbia, sc, please email me and I'll be happy to send them a link :)  shannon@shannondarbydesign.com!!  Hope y'all have a very happy monday.  

 good morning!!  happy MLK day!  i hope everyone is able to enjoy this holiday at home!!  if you're luck enough to have it off, run don't walk, and go and see silver linings playbook.  it is seriously the best movie i have seen in a long time!!  maybe it was b/c we NEVER get to go to the movies and so when we do it's a treat or maybe it was b/c we got to drink a bottle of wine in the movie theater we went to.....either way, it's a great flick (one worth paying a babysitter for)!!  happy monday!!

 i'm so sorry i have been absent lately.  it seems life has been going a mile a minute and leaving little time for me in between!!  i hope y'all are having a fabulous start to 2013!  here's some things that are going on current in my neck of the woods.....
my house on Sullivan's Island is almost complete and the clients moved in over Christmas break....

 how cute is this doggie??!!

 btw, i am obsessed w/ the lews hardware that we used in jack and jill bathroom....she didn't disappoint!!  so go buy some!!

i got a new worm pillow made for my bedroom...my husband says i have a pillow problem....he might be right.

for christmas warren surprised me w/ a coffee table that i have been coveting forever...the problem was it belonged to one of my friends and she had it custom made...luckily she was ready to get rid of her :)

this weather has been amazing so the kids and i have been spending lots of time outside....Sat we headed to the zoo.  the flamingos are always a favorite of mine...their color is just amazing.

 hope everyone is doing wonderful!!  hope to be back here more often this week!!!  xo- pink wallpaper
