Thanks mom...we heart you! (last minute moms day gifts...you're welcome procrastinators)

                      makes us cry every time...like every time.  if you didn't you are a robot

It truly is the bestest, hardest, raddest, funnest, cutest, toughest, sleepiest most smile enducing, heart bursting job in the universe (that's right, we said it...UNIVERSE)

Our moms went through so...SO much for us (we may be angels now but you should have seen us in high school ...and after...sorry moms!) so it makes perfect sense for there to be a day to remind us to remind them how much we love them and are thankful for all they do for us.

Now you are probably asking..."We super love our mamas...but what should we get for them that's different from the usual roses?"   We are so glad you asked!   Here are our fave pics for our fave mamas.

(PS You should never feel pressure to buy anything!   Moms like snuggles, kisses, picnics, sleeping, 50 Shades of Grey...well they DO... cookies, sleep, breaky in bed....see if you are creative its even better)

                                                       Our fave macarons in the cutest box from Bottega Louie

But for those of you who LOVE an excuse to buy something super cute for the ones you love...read on friends...read on....

Ok so obvi...every hard working, huge loving, tired mama needs to be pampered and feel as beautiful as she is...what better way then a trip to the one and only Dry Bar!  

Let her walk in with stingy hair and waltz out with bouncy waves or sleek sexy shine.   No one does it better.   Oh and lucky you last minute shopper...they do gift certs!   Done and done!

  Plus they will serve your mama tea, coffee or champers while she is getting gorge...hello!




From our fave FBF (fake boyfriend) Jonathan Adler is the cutest most user friendly paper weight on earth!   How freaking cute is this?!  Mom is going to suddenly become messy just so she has papers to put this on

Ok so there are FOR SURE at least 3 moms (we just happen to be 2 of them) who die...like seriously freak for pale pink peonies!

 This stunningly GORGE arrangement is from my ultimate favorite lux company ever ever ever!  The Alchemist...super hard to explain but once you get it...YOU GET IT!   Nothing comes close to this company... Surprise your lady love, baby mama, or mom with this peony arrangement and she will squeal in delight.


Feel like giving mom some sweets but would rather make her a goodie?   She will be so in heaven with these ridiculously yummy salted caramel chocolate chip bars...  oh yeah you might want to read that again... salted caramel chocolate chip bars.  These are from Two Peas And Their Pod...

Best part about making her goodies...you get to taste test them to make sure they are perfection!  You're welcome.   Recipe here

 Rather get your favorite chocoholic a lux chocolate instead?  Well we introduce you to the grand dame of salted chocolates, Valerie Confections.  Her salt and pepper dark chocolate boxes will have anyone squealing in delight...then hiding in closets so no ones steals her chocolates.

Hey dads?   Husbands??   This card will have your lady tryin to make a new bunny as soon as she reads it...yes...this is a good thing!

What super mom doesn't LOVE and amazing candle?  Better yet and amazing candle by the bath?
You can not go wrong..ever..with Jo Malone.  This Grapefruit is one of the best smelling candles on earth.  Its not at all what you expect.  Its perfection!

Thank you Jo Malone for making our houses smell divine!

 Loving these sweet and lemon-limey citrus gold drop earrings from a store we should own really,  Anthropologie.

These would be perfect with any outfit for yo mama...

So whether you send a card, flowers, bake a treat or give a present...just simply saying "I love you mom, Thank you for all you do and have always done" will be the gift she will cherish forever and ever...

Happy Mothers Day to all of you moms out there...thank you...we heart you!

Decor to Die For: Love feeling grey!

OK,

So first Miss Me & I were in search for the perfect grey couches and chairs...one of us lucked out and one of us, well....but I am fine...I will be ok with my pearly pick.

Then I became obsessed with painting my dining room grey but could not get my sweet love to trust me.

Then one of my fav ladies needed to redo her super cute apt and we decided dove grey walls and a charcoal grey couch would be divine for her 1920's meets Parisian Chic aesthetic...

So that can only mean one thing....

1+1+1+1 = Suuuuper hearting and coo coo crazy loving grey (or is it gray?) for anything Decor-y!

22 Bond St ottomans and amazing chesterfield couch!

If white goes with everything, and black goes with anything then that means that grey goes with anything and everything! (See white + black= grey)

wow...hi super perfectly fun yet relaxing bedroom!!!! yummy pop of yellow and love the b&w rug too!

It can be calm and serene or amazingly chic and rich..lets do this!

I think for the sake of this post (OK, for my sake and sanity) we will categorize this post into well..categories...

Let's start with the easiest way to lurve thy grey...on thy walls.

Oh geez...you had us at silver mums! Come on...why do you have to torture us...it's ok...we secretly love it ;)
This gorgeous wallpaper from Wallnut Paper is TDF! Yes please to the 3rd power!

Well, well, well perfect dining nook! How chic and beautiful are you with your stone grey walls and bright white moulding and chairs!

indie home

Oh gosh...breathe...breathe... the pale whispery grey on these walls with the pop of bright colors against the crispiness of the white and black furniture accents kills me!!!! (in the super good way!)

bye bye Domino...we super dislike your owners for taking you away....shame on them!

Uggghhh it's perfect and sooo unfussy and totally chicly comfortable....yum.

p.s....don't forget how amazing grey looks in closets!

K, now that I am going to buy some grey paint and take over the living room after those last 2 pics, I think the next best place to go is the next thing Miss Me and I are suuuuper lusting over...grey couches and chairs.

Yummmmmm....we hearty heartville stripes...and grey stripes on a curved wood settee from Wisteria? Yes and Por Favor!

It's soooo sleek and vintage and so, "Oh, we just picked this up at a street market in Paris..." "My upholsterer did it...yeah, it really livens up the space"

Um, I'm sorry...are those RUFFLES!?!?!? Oooops..sorry to yell.

It's just the mix of masculine grey fabric with girlie ruffles really gets us crazy! It's sooooo good! And the vintage shape!!! COME ON..give us a break!

Thank God it's from London so we don't have to worry about worrying how we are going to get it.

Speaking of vintage shapes...

This vintage repro settee from 22 Bond is de-lish! Throw on some JA pillows for pop and you are the chicest lady in all the land...

And for all you modernistas out there...need a modern sofa with out the cold hospital feeling?

We found this great and bright and fun modern couch for you. It's so clean looking with out the sterile feeling. The dove grey will totally lift up any rooms vibe.

Next up on the grey lovers train is a pic of one of the yummiest bathrooms we have ever laid our grey hearting eyes on...

decor pad

OMFG! It's sooooooooooo perfect! Love the pops of turquoise! I'm totally going to copy this one.

It's soooo greyishly, modernly, chicily, monotone-y fantastic!!!!!

One thing that Miss Me and I have learned i our search for the perfectly imperfectly decorated home is that nothing sets the tone and brings together a room better than a rug...

Loving the mix of yellow and grey in this super cute Thomas Paul rug.
The boldness of the pattern married with the chic softness of the grey makes for a very rad and very fun rug. You may not even need furniture with this...just saying.

So this next rug is what happens when you are trying to combine the ideas of your sig. other and yourself...MAGIC! (sometimes)
I mixed me and my bfs ideas on this custom Jonathan Adler Brit rug and cross your pinkies that he will love it as much as me! I loooove mixing pink and grey. It's perfectly hard and soft.

Look at this unbelievably, fantastical, amazing Madeline Weinrib flat weave rug!!!!!
It's the perfect mix of modern and moroccan, crisp and calm and just spectacular!!!!

Ahhh the bedroom...it's a place for relaxation and calm (well, that and making babies!) so it makes perfect sense to have serene, grey furniture there too.

Loving this Industrial Chic, brushed steel Steamer Trunk from Restoration Hardware!

It's soooo Joe Vs The Volcano (oh come on! if you don't know what we are talking about, then you have some very important homework to do!)
This could literally go with almost any aesthetic you have!

You know why they call these fainting couches? Because they are soo glamorously cute you faint when you see them..ok maybe not but this deep grey one from Urban is amazing!

Put this on a blank wall you have in your magic room or living room and you will probably use it just as much as your bed...NO sickos! ..not like that...for cuddling and reading...geez!

Hi there, super yummy upholstered nailhead bed! (that we left the tag on).

Imagine being enveloped in this super cozy and utterly chic bed! We lurve the white crispy sheets against the charcoal velvet!

Not ready to go the distance with it? Afraid of commitment?

Here is one of our most favorite posters/Art ever! We heart and want this suuuuuuper bad...hint hint ;)

Village is an amazingly secret spot we hit up for great prints that no one (not even our shmanciest of friends will have) really knows about...you're welcome and shhhhh!

P.S. Sorry for the repeat offense today (it's a good one at least!) Miss TWH had a looong day yesterday and couldn't quite get her polished paws to finish the one she started...next time!

Don't be cloudy...go grey!

xoxo t.w.h.

Decor to Die for: The kids are alright!!

(Gigi & Zaza)

Not to be ungrateful ... Not to look a gift horse in the mouth... But the two gals from TWH are up to our eyes balls trying to finish decorating our beautiful homes.

We need a mini vacation from trying to find the perfect, consoles, dressers, benches etc... We need to take a deep breath and remember how much fun decorating really is....

(Top Design)

We need to take a vacation to the Wonderland that is Children's rooms!

Where anything goes and whimsy is king.

(Me & Wee)

Where color combinations can be fearless... And if it makes you smile, then you know you got it right!

This will be a picture heavy post... And if you have no children and could care less about children's rooms, well, we're sorry. But keep reading anyway, you may be surprised. If you do have "littles" in your life, babies, kids, nieces, nephews any little bug you love, in that case, your welcome.

What we need today is inspiration, and we are straight up stealing it like candy from babies.

We heart bright rich hued nurseries so much... It is hard to believe we love pale airy ones just as much!

But we really really do. See what we are saying about not being able to go wrong? We are not talking about hospital blue rooms filled with Winnie the Pooh decor... No offense to all you Pooh lovers out there.. Oh that sounds gross!

We are drawing today from rooms made for stylish little humans by the stylish parents that love them. Rooms that don't pander down to, but celebrate and raise up the future little design lovers taste.

(Domino)

Like this delicious little wonder... "Hey Cabana Striped Ceiling, what do you say you meet me at my place a little later?" This room belonged to the son of Jenna Lyons the design star behind J. Crew's re-vamp. Check out her house.. She has great style.

Somebody better hold me back... Jonathan Adler, A.K.A our Sweet-ums, is launching a "Juniors Line"!! Well, funny because everything I have seen from this line would look just as great in our living room as in Miss Me's little beastie's rooms.

Oh Sweet-ums, your such a funny man... Making our houses look so good just so we can head out the door to the poor house after spending every cent on your pillows!

Look at this teenage girls room... I would trade bedrooms with her in a split second! Well, maybe that is partially due to the fact that her bedroom is finished.. But still!

(House & Home)

Another really great note to take from these rooms is, don't be afraid to use real art in your kids rooms, in any room of your house for that matter.

(House & Home)

The right piece of art can transform any space into something more.

Like these fantastic Lego art pieces... Look close, the facts written on them are the best part... Scary stuff.

Oh Jeesh! Back to our Sweet-ums again. Mr. Adler designed this room for the daughter of designer Nanette Lepore. Wowzers. That is one heck of a room.

Love, love, love the "Sofa bed".

We also love the simple color family in this room... White, turquoise, and wood... Heaven.

These amazing prints would work as well for grown ups as they would for the kiddos. Because really, who is not in need of a Hello Kitty anatomy chart in the powder room?

(Jason Freeny)

And we have a bone to pick with Mariah Carey.. We have a serious problem with her co-opting the hippie-fairy-girl icon of the butterfly and trying to hooch it out... Well, listen sister, we are here to take the butterfly back! No more rhinestone "tattoos" and bad heels with feather butterflies glued on!

We want to be able to hang this beautiful mobile in our future daughters rooms and not have our minds tainted. Thank you... You really have a lovely voice.

Speaking of mobiles for your babies crib... Feel free to make your own if you can't find the perfect one for your Little's room, Miss Me made this one out of Ugly Dolls for her little-little guy... He LURVED it!

It really is great to remember that decorating is SO much more enjoyable when you are not taking everything so seriously.

Sometimes things just come together when you least expect it.

For example, this kitty cat mobile I found while researching this post!! Purrfect for a few of my pals with babies soon to arrive! Hooray! More shower gifts!

We LOVE the Funny Girl poster and the daybed in Amanda Peet's daughter's room that was featured in Domino back when Domino was still Domino.. Sniff!

Inspiration can come from places where you least expect it..

Sometimes it is good to take a step back from what you are doing, and look around at other things...

This has actually really helped us.. Hope it helped you.. Or at LEAST got your ovaries all heated up and ready to go!
