Flower Workshop

I just registered for this Studio Choo flower workshop in SF and couldn't be more excited! Whenever I try to arrange flowers, I feel like they just flop around in the vase, so I'm looking forward to picking up a few tips from these experts. There are so many cool farmer's markets in the Bay Area and the SF Flower Mart sells wholesale flowers, so I hope that I can soon put my new skills to use.  xo

PS - for those of you in NYC, this workshop also looks amazing.

Thrift Store Finds

Our local Goodwill is just about the best thrift store that ever was. Here are a few goodies we picked up last weekend. Above is our new little brass clock that I thought would be the perfect knick-knack to sit on top of our new cabinet. Lucas doesn't really get the concept of knick-knacks, like candles, picture frames, and clocks that are not quite in working condition (we're working on it...), but he's slowly coming around. :) Below are our new little brass candle holders, which I love. Don't they look like the best of friends sitting all cute in our entry way?

We're collecting gold and silver picture frames to display old family photos at our wedding. I picked up the frame on the right and Lucas's parents look right at home in it. PS - isn't his mom gorgeous?

Our mail tends to pile up on the counter, despite how many times I swear to myself that I won't let that happen. I was thrilled to find this mail tray for a whopping $2! It doesn't count as clutter if it's in a tray, right?

Finally, someone decided to donate this brand new Target mirror to Goodwill. Welp...thanks whoever you are! I haven't found a new home for it yet, but I've definitely been brainstorming. It actually turns out that Kristina bought the same one at Target and it looks amazing hanging above her bed.

Until next time, Goodwill! XOX

Michelle Armas Print

I've been looking for a large, abstract painting or print to hang in our living room for months (see...this is proof of that!), but it's been hard for me to find something that I like in my price range. I've had my eye on Michelle Armas and her amazing paintings and prints, but I just couldn't quite pull the trigger and order one. Today her large prints were on mega sale on One Kings Lane and I took it as the universe's way of telling me I should order it. I even pinned this exact print a few months ago! So you're looking at the proud owner of a new abstract print, y'all. :)

Prettypegs

It's not difficult to recognize Ikea furniture. It's modern, simple, and featured in the home of pretty much every 20-something I know! Have you ever heard of Prettypegs? It is a Swedish company that sells stylish replacement legs for Ikea furniture. Genius!

Our Wedding Website

Pleased to present our new wedding website, designed by the brilliant Brad Williford. It's still in the early stages as we have a ton of content to add, but we're thrilled with the design. Thanks Brad!

Pretty Room

I love what they've done in this small room. I have a feeling I'll be forced to be creative with a small space in California. Think Lucas can get down with the idea of a turquoise color palette? Think I'll ever be rich enough to afford a fabric headboard? A girl can only dream! From Apartment Therapy.

Beautiful Desk Makeover

Can't wait to tackle some DIY projects next year in California. I'm loving this gorgeous desk makeover featured on Design Sponge today. The color of the desk and the antique touches are beautiful.

Oh Happy Room!

Love the exposed beams, pink and green pops of color, dark wood furniture, white sofa, EVERYTHING! One day I'll have a house full of pretty stuff. Seen on JPM Design.

Removable Wallpaper

I think I found a solution for five more years of renting - removable wallpaper! This great cream and black design is Kathy Ireland Easychange Wallpaper. From Sherwin-Williams via here.

Tiny Magical House

This little house is so cozy and wonderful. I want to live here with Kristina and puppies! Seen on Concrete & Honey via The New York Times.

Globe Cluster

Isn't this nursery so sweet? I'm obsessed with the globe cluster!

Kate Spade's Home

These pictures of Kate Spade's New York home are so cool! I want to live here. Check them all out here.

Nate Berkus Show

Umm...Shannon do you know about this?! Dolly Parton is on the next episode! OMG!

UPDATE - Wallpaper FOUND!

Look at this wallpaper on Hygge & West! The Julia Rothman and ferm LIVING wallpaper designs are so nice. You can buy samples for $5 or by-the-yard for $20, and they are the perfect size for lining drawers or any of the other projects I want to try. I've always loved her wallpaper, but I never thought about buying samples or by-the-yard - I am buying some this weekend to start my DIY projects!

Angela Adams

I bought this planner at Sun Dog Books, which is a bookstore in Seaside, Florida.  I purchased it a few years ago, and when I went to buy refills, I saw that the site no longer carries the planner, which is frustrating.  But since then, I have gotten two brand new ones from Amazon.com! 

I think that most of Angela Adams designs are really cute, and I adore my planner.
