Beauty in Waiting....

Ralph Waldo Emerson said,  

“It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”

And it is with this sentiment that I share this exquisite post by one of my favorite decorating bloggers: 'Censational Girl'- a blog I read daily!

Below you will see a photo of a stunning entry and waiting room. Before you scroll down, I would like for you to guess what you would be waiting for if you were sitting in this cool room: my first guesses were- an ad agency, a modeling agency or perhaps a hair salon.

Ok, so I would be wrong, wrong and wrong. In fact, if you were sitting in this waiting room, you could, in fact, be waiting for something a little more invasive.....something like a root canal! Yep, believe it! This is the waiting room of a very cool dentist. And the kicker of it all is that she decorated the office HERSELF!! Pretty cool, right? To drill down for more of the details (ok, couldn't help myself) check out the Centsational Girl Blog where she shares all the details about the decor and the dentist herself!

Artist, Designer, Dentist!

Peeping Tom Tuesday: My LA LIfestyle

For this installment, I was inspired by a blog I like to follow: My LA Lifestyle. In this post, they peep into some celebrity homes that were recently on the market. One is the home of ultra-dangerous and totally cool Jason Statham. The other is for our favorite 'friend' Jennifer Aniston. This is the last peek we have into these amazing homes since they have since been purchased by new owners. Check out these cool photos below.

Our house grew by 4 feet in one day!

Yes! Our house grew by four furry feet on Friday! I'd like to introduce you all to our newest little girl, an adorable Teddy Bear puppy (otherwise called a Zhuchon- Shih Tzu and Bichon). She is such a doll! We named her Fergie, the Duchess of Yorktown (because we like the name and because we love the royal pun!) Fergie is wonderful with the kids and is so brilliant, she is already paper trained! We are now getting her trained to go outdoors which she is about 75% accomplished at in just 2 days. Brilliant, I tell you. Our only trouble right now is that she whimpers a bit at night, which causes the kids to run to her rescue....basically a free-for-all at night in the Palumbo household. Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day....although at night I do wish I had Cesar Millan encouraging me to be the pack leader!

Although you have to admit...even at three in the morning...she is such an adorable pup!

Ok, more home stuff tomorrow..just had to share my new love!
