If you think wallpapers only belong in your grandma’s home, think again. These fun, fresh and trendy wallpapers by mimou would look great in your house or city apartment. Think fabulous accent walls. Create a focal point in any room by dressing up a wall with these modern and vibrant prints. Some of them dont even look like wallpapers. Also, wallpapering is easy way to add visual interest, texture and pops of color to tired entryways and hallways.
this poinsettia print would be perfect in a walk-in closet, no?
too bad these are mostly sold in sweden and norway…

hello dears.
I’m back from our week-long trip to Maui. A bit jetlagged, a bit sunburnt and very tan. It was a fab vacation and felt great to be by the ocean; lounging by the beach + pools.
We did plenty of fun activities including sailing on a sunset cocktail cruise, boat rides to Lana’i and Molokini islands, snorkeling, and surfing.
AND had a super nice time meeting up with blogging buddy, rachel of lovely clusters. She is even more lovely in person. We were sad when the week came to an end, but glad to be back to home sweet casa hidalgo. I’ll be doing a more detailed post of my trip soon.
Now for some exciting news….
I mentioned prepping for a shoot a couple of weeks ago. It was for the Washington Post‘s Express paper. The editors interviewed me and asked me to create a few spring-summer inspired tabletops for the article. They came over for the shoot a few days before I left for Maui. The article was featured in the May 7 issue of Express, and included a pic of yours truly. Here is the spread….
The article references me in a few places and I am honored to be mentioned alongside Joe Nye (author – Flair), Kim Myles of HGTV’s “Myles of Style” and Tai Tsang (owner – tabletop dc).
You can view the print version online here – http://www.expressnightout.com/printedition/
click on May 7 and go to page(s) 27, 30 & 31. I will try to get more pics from the shoot to share with you.
Have a great week ahead!!
xoxo

A note about mochatini birthday giveaway last week. I am extending it another day so you still have time to enter. I’ll be accepting entries until the end of the day.
And now, here is a lovely guest blogger, heather thompson. Heather is an artist and designer based out of nashville, TN. Her amazing life involves decorative painting for clients in nashville. If that was enough on her plate, this amazingly talented lady also has an etsy store selling art, clothes, jewelry and more. Her vintage inspired design blog, gathering spriggs is a daily read for me. Take it away heather..

Greetings Mochatini readers! Its such an honor to be here with you today to share the fabulous Australian homewares shop: Whiteport. Founder, Jennifer McCabe has an impecible design sensibility and even shoots all products in her beach house on the northern shores of Sydney. She also pens the Whiteport blog with inspiring design ideas, images of her home, and product placement ideas. McCabe has a beach cottage sensibility in her own home ,but encourages customers to pursue white as an accent toward any decor: Urban chic, to modern country. I especially love the natural linen furniture and white pitchers and pottery. How about you? What do you love about white, its power as a striking accent or would you do an entire room bathed in white?

Hello Spring and hello friends.
Did you have a good weekend? I hope it was warm and sunny where you are. The weather was too beautiful to be indoors, so I spent most of my weekend basking in the sun. I also went to a flea market and will share my spoils with you a bit later. With Easter just around the corner, I thought you might like a peek into my inspiration. Doesnt Zooey look absolutely gorgeous in this dress? I mean when does she not, but she looks especially good in this one. I love the color, poppy red, of the dress and this tablescape on style at home compliments it perfectly! 
Enjoy your day and have a super week ahead.
