these lanterns.

These would be perfect just inside or outside your front door at any time of year. Love the warm light!

this sitting room.

How is it possible that so many unique pieces can look so perfect together? I mean seriously, there is a pink chair next to an orange chair plus a side of purple flowers. Add in the black fireplace and aqua blue pillow on the couch...looks amazing!

these walnut boats.

Check out these super cute decorative walnut boats. I love anything DIY and these are super easy. Plus empty walnut shells means that someone has to eat the walnuts and I definitely wouldn't mind volunteering for that. Yum!

new kind of pumpkin patch.

One of my lovely bff's Janie makes the cutest stuff. She is a crafter extraordinaire. I keep telling her to set up an Etsy account so that everyone can see all of her creations all the time, so maybe now she will. :] Anyway, yesterday she sent me an email with these pictures of her little pumpkin patch. Aren't they adorable?

They would look perfect above a fireplace mantle, a front step, a table centerpiece...pretty much anywhere if you ask me! 

If you are interested in purchasing these cuties or anything else Janie might be creating, let me know and I will get you her contact info. 

how beautiful homes.

I am so excited for the day that I'll have a space of my own to design and decorate however I please. But each day I become more + more convinced that I am going to need:

a) more than 1 house 

or 

b) multiple storage sheds in my backyard for all of the pieces I'll be constantly buying/re-arranging


Oh and a very patient, easy going hubbers.

wreath chandelier.

So many cute decor ideas for next year. What's more festive than dark green wreaths + red satin ribbon?

a cup of spring.

This image makes me long for springtime. Now if I could only find an old, beautiful teapot...
