Happy last Friday before Christmas! For those of you that celebrate, are you ready for the holiday or do you have some last minute shopping and/or baking to do? Whatever your plans may be, hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Here’s this week’s Weekly Six:

1 – Wishing I could recreate this chic, feminine bathroom in my own home.

2 – Inspiration for a romantic Christmas table – can never go wrong with tons of candles and this site has them – for cheap!

3 – Last year’s round-up of holiday baking – which I’ll be tackling tomorrow.

4 – Get the look of this wine glass by gluing some jewels and beads to the base – would also work great for candlesticks.

5 – Great list of ten champagnes to buy – for last minute gifts?

6 – After all this shopping, baking, and wrapping – I need a tub like this!

Have a great weekend!

I browse through the Home Decor section of Pinterest more than I’d like to admit. But it seems that almost every time I browse through, there are always some fancy contraptions or features in beautiful homes. Like everything above – the well-organized pantry, the laundry chute, a two-story bedroom, a fancy sink. I didn’t even include the one I see most often – the pull-out cutting board over the garbage can!

For some reason this got me thinking about if I ever have the chance to build my home or renovate completely, what one feature – or features – would I absolutely require? That laundry chute is pretty fabulous, and convenient, but I’m thinking I would request closet organization as an absolute necessity. While I would love a fancy kitchen with fun accessories and features, to have all closets, including the pantry, with built-in storage – oh, that would be heaven!

What about you – would feature would be at the top of your must-have list if you had the chance to build your dream home?

Unless I lived in a gigantic castle-like home, I can’t imagine that this piece would look good in my home. But I love it. LOVE. it.

It’s the Diamond Sideboard and it so grand and exquisite and dramatic. Do you agree? The gold leaf lion feet take a little bit away from the contemporary feel of this product, but who cares?! Sometimes a little mixture of old and new works perfectly together.

Anyway, if you would like the Diamond Sideboard in your home, it is a limited edition piece designed by Boca do Lobo.

What do you think of this week’s product pick, the Diamond Sideboard?

A friend and I were talking yesterday about cake pops and now I’m dying to try them. And make them! I’ve seem them in cafes and seen the molds at Bed, Bath and Beyond – but I ‘ve never eaten one. They must be good if there’s such a huge craze over them!

My friend makes them all the time – but says they can be a little bit of a process. I’m thinking these would be a fun thing to make for Christmas – if I can find the time before then! I did find the time to search out a recipe, and this one over at the Kitchn is looking pretty delicious. My friend also suggested making brownie cake pops – they are apparently not as complicated but equally wonderful.

What about you – have you made cake pops? Have any good recipes or tips to share?

Have you ever seen a square wreath before? Up until this post on Coco + Kelley with the first square wreath above, I’m not sure that I ever have! But now that I have seen them, I am obsessed. What a difference changing the shape can make!

Not that there is anything wrong with a round wreath, but it’s always fun to do normal things a bit differently. Plus, I love the way the shape works with the rectangular shape of a door, even better with square or rectangular windows.

While these are great for holiday decor, the first and fourth wreaths could be used all year long.

What do you think of square wreaths? Do they give wreaths a more contemporary look or do you prefer the traditional round wreath?
