Dotted Swiss Organza, Beautiful Textured Fabric!


DOTTED SWISS ORGANZA! It is my favorite. I am in love with the texture. But really, it photographs so beautifully, doesn't it?! I just saw this wedding featured on stylemepretty and I nearly squealed with excitement when I saw this bride's dress.

A Before & After: Landscaping


BEFORE: What a mess!..I promise there is a house behind that massive tree bush shrub thing...

Chained it to a truck...



SEE! I told you there was a house behind that thing...

AFTER: Spray painted the shutters/ added new shutters under the porch, new mail box and new porch light and landscaping! The flower bed used to be HUGE, so I made it smaller so it was manageable. The plan is to plant grass when it isn't so hot outside.

Ripped out all of the old plants/ flower beds and layed the new brick and planting...Lots of work but SO worth it!

The other side. Remember there used to be wooden posts that made a flower bed? Ripped those babies out!  Still need grass over here too... :)




Love coming home to a nicely landscaped home...!

letter press wonderfulness

Oh my love. This wedding invitation suit by high cotton design is beautiful. I really love the look of letter pressed invitations. I would LOVE to design a letter pressed invitation! Oh, and I have to tell you one more thing...this designer only used one ink color, a dark blue gray and then used handy prisma colors in various colors of pink and green and colored in the flowers. What a cost effective yet gorgeous solution!

my new favorite flats


Flats are my obsession. Especially bright colored ones. I found these cuties at Target the other day and I just love them. I know they had yellow but I can't remember if I saw any other colors. Yay for fun flats!

a lovely can of...

Champagne! I am smitten with Sofia Champagne. It is so good and the packaging...not too shabby! If your wedding colors are pink..this may be up your alley. I can see these being served on trays with 10 on a tray. I really love that they come with a straw.  Super cute, great design, great color and tasty. Sounds like a perfect party beverage to me!

lovely bedroom inspiration

I am really loving this bedroom. I am digging the whole wall covered with curtains trend right now. I love that it makes a room feel more cozy and acts as a larger scale backboard. I also like that the curtains makes one wall a different color while the rest of the walls are blue! It's little details like one wall being a different color that really add visual interest to a room. Step outside of the box.

What little details do you do around your home that make your spaces unique?

Loving this Juxtaposition...

I am only obsessed with a portion of this room. And that would be the corner. Take away the bunk bed, rug and umbrellas and that hand painted tree with wooden birdhouses would be a fabulous addition to a room. Only certain rooms could pull this off, though. I think this would be absolutely perfect in a nursery. It was be ridiculously awesome to go for a more dramatic approach and darken the colors a bit for a living room or dining room. I JUST LOVE the contrast and interaction between a 2-D surface and something 3-D. Yep, it's great!

If you like the Bachelorette...

Okay, I like to keep "Blogging with Taylor" centered around design related topics...but sometimes..I just have to share some things that are a bit off topic....but great nonetheless.  


Do you like the bachelorette? I became hooked with my mom years ago and somehow can't stop watching...even when I am not crazy about the bachelor/bachelorette (yep, this season is one of 'em). A friend recommended a fabulous bachelorette/bachelor recap blog a few years back and I've been hooked ever since. The writer is witty and completely hysterical. I cry laughing nearly every time I read the blog.  So please, if you watch the bachelorette...please visit I Hate Green Beans, you won't be sorry!
