Down to Earth, Down on the Farm

Craving the ocean, all things vintage and old, and some garden time. 

One Sentence.

Realizing I like spring and summer more than I thought!

Holy Pottery Barn!

Horrible pictures taken with my phone's camera, but great inspiration! :)

Love the chairs!

Paisley candles? What?

Vintage vase and greens.

Striped chair and old school bar.

Me.

Love the pattern combos!

Cages and vases, oh my!

I love me some great table-scapes!

Thinking of Spring!

This bedroom's colors are fab!

I love all the Spring flowers and their scent!

Great Spring table-scape idea.

Perfect salad for a light Spring meal!

Adding Spring-colored pieces around the house is a must!

Spring Cleaning, of course. 

Beautiful sunny days that fill the house with lots of light!

Pink cake. Pink everything!

Today I went to the mall and bought my signature scent: So Pink from the Gap. (Apparently, I haven't been to the Gap or the mall enough because I literally walked into the store thinking 'Oh, they have cute stuff...what store is this?' What the what?) I haven't had So Pink in a very very long time. Hence, the previous 'what store is this' comment! I LOVE SO PINK! It immediately gave me spring fever and good feelings and great memories! Isn't weird how scents can do that? I'm loving it and am so glad to be reunited with my long lost signature scent! Do you have a signature scent? Are you thinking Spring yet? Happy Tuesday!

Wallpapering a Do or Don't?

I am SO loving the new, hip, and current trend of wallpaper. From covering just one wall, to covering an entire room in a loud, vibrant, patterned cover, the trend is alluring! We are in an apartment right now, so wallpaper isn't an option. However, when we buy a house...who knows! Is it a do or a don't in you'r book? Which styles and patterns do you like? Are you a one wall kinda girl or do you enjoy the decadent look of wallpapering a whole room? 

Here's a pattern I could see making a statement in a room...subtle but interesting.

You Give Me Fever

Cabin Fever...not in need of spring, but instead, for an actual cabin...

My heart swoons, check out these cabins~ Cabin Love
A cabin near here would be good.

The perfect spot for an afternoon nap and/or book!

I love the light and airy, almost earthy feel of this room. Check out that map on the wall too!

Ultra-luxe cabin, no doubt!

Black and White/ Weekend Exploring!

A non-decorating Friday post...life, in Black and White. 

*On a side note, Kurt and I have been talking about what we will do when our kids get old enough to go on little dates. Kurt, "I'll drive them to the movies and make sure there is no touching at any point in time and the whole way there I'll play the song Sam Hall..." Wow, he's gonna be a no joke scary awesome dad! Love him so much more!

Gin and Tonic, anyone?

Sweet.

A little graphic I know-but how awesome!

I go on dates with this guy all the time! :)

Rustic.

How my bike looks now.

The best moments in the world!

Here are the lyrics to "Sam Hall"...'nuff said: After the jump!

Hair.

It seems like everyone is doing a new 'do lately. New Years, new resolutions, new hair...I suppose! Since I've finally gotten my hair the length I want it, I now am thinking about making a little change. I will probably wait a few more months simply to enjoy the length of my hair right now, but eventually I will cut it to something like...

This...

What do you think? Short, long, blonde, or brunette! Ah the choices!

You and Tequila

This song gets me every time. The vintage style, the haunting lyrics, and easy melody. Beauty.
Plus, I think Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are pretty awesome:

What songs/people are you loving at the time? I'm always looking for my newest musical addiction! :)
