the time has finally come!  many of you know that a new design for going home to roost has been in the works, and the time to share it with you is almost here!  i’ve been working with the spectacular jo from the darling tree and what she’s created has exceeded even my highest expectation!  i think you all will really love it.  it will be a brand new theme as well as a brand new format which is not only more visually appealing, but much more easily navigable as well.

the new theme will be going live this monday! the site may be down a bit over the weekend, and maybe a little on monday as well, but bare with us, we’ll try to avoid it!  also, i’ll be posting updates on the status of the new design on twitter, if you would like to follow the progression there.

next time i see you, we’ll be moved into a new home!

xox, bonnie

hello darlings!  i realized the other day how long it had been seen we had talked about home decor, and suddenly missed it!  i’ll try to share more roosts with you from now on. :)  today’s comes from a lovely graphic designer, yvonne huynh.

doesn’t her home provide a breath of fresh air?  i love the color pallet- muted and natural, with pops of color.  and what gorgeous pillows she has on her couch!  her little pup makes me smile too, the perfect accessory for her home.

you can see all of yvonne’s home in her flickr album, and even more at her beautiful blog where she shares yummy recipes and more design!

p.s. big announcement coming later today!
