Fashion, Design, & DIY
Wow you guys. Today I am blown away by this miniaturist attention to detail and bohemian style. Look at all that layering of pattern, style, age. I am in love. Just think of all the time and energy that went into to making these spaces look truly lived in, and yet they are mini! Don’t you feel like you have [...read more]
Lately, I have been finding myself attracted to bedrooms with a singular burst of color. White on white with one centering focus. It’s a timeless palate (10 points if you can spot the dated tech in one of these spaces) and an easy one to replicate. I hope to do something similar with our Seattle bedroom except with a little [...read more]
Welcome to the second installment of Mini Monday! Ok. Now, lets all just admit here and now that despite feverishly pinning and wishing, most of us are never going to have the stunning spaces we collect on Pinterest. Sad but true. Well, what if I told you that you could have all the dream worthy rooms you can imagine? You [...read more]
I love cozy. And you know whats cozy? Quilts. Quilts are cozy. So you can imagine my pleasure when I see pops of patchwork mixing in with modern sophisticated design. Via Via Via I was swept off my feet by Bokja and their selection of statement making furniture. Any one of these lovelies would instantly transform a space. Can’t you imagine the [...read more]
Big news! I’ve been doing this thing where I make a conscious effort to do nice things for myself. Yeah, I know it sounds simple but it really isn’t for me, and I all too often finish a day and reflect that I didn’t do anything that I genuinely wanted to. So I am giving myself a pat on the back for [...read more]
“Oh yeah!!” Thats what I said to myself rather loudly in the coffee line the other day. It was quite embarrassing but well worth it as I was exclaiming over a photo I had taken a month or so ago and had just rediscovered. While exploring the island shops with my parents, we stumbled across this truly original and enchanting ottoman. It [...read more]
Have you heard about Olioboard? No? Well don’t worry I will fill you in. Olioboard is an online mood board maker, similar to Polyvore, but for interiors. And like Polyvore, it is a maddening yet satisfying time eater. Here is the game; you get a blank board and fill it with all the goodies you can fit on to it; [...read more]
Who doesn’t love Pinterest, I ask you? It is clean, easy and so rewarding. Its a great thing to collect little pieces of inspiration and joy. One of the best elements is that it is low key. I find it a relaxing experience to wander through the world and easily pick out little gems. It is so easy, that often [...read more]
One day when I design and build my dream house my kitchen will be white. This isn’t really an option, it just is what will happen. White is my favorite color and the uncontested winner for kitchens in my book. So fresh, so bright, and so clean. But… I’ll admit they can get kinda boring. Thats why you need the [...read more]
Have you noticed a rise in creativity for risers? Oh so funny. Well, I have. And I have to say I am on the fence. I think it is a case by case situation. Some homes can handle it, but in others a decked out stair might be a little overwhelming, since stairs already have so many details that call [...read more]
