Inspired

Has anyone else checked out the latest issue of Lonny Magazine??? I am feeling inspired by the unique object used and the bright colors.... what a way to welcome in summer. I especially love the kid friendly houses that are still beautiful and how about the bubble chair and trailing decorative plates?

Happy Saturday

Before I head to work I thought I would pop in and show somethingthing on my wish list for my move coming up shortly.... As many know I love organizing and these will keep our small place nice and orderly without looking too cluttered.

My DIY Weekend

Last weekend my mom came over to Portland to help me with some DIY projects, unfortunately I set out a little to hard and had to many things on our agenda. The weekend ended up being a blast, we went to Cesar's kickball tournament, (they placed 6th, not to shabby) searched high and low for glass bead making kits for my mom, and painted a few items... It's not the best pic but the hutch received a nice glossy coat of navy blue paint....

This is the future cover, very metro chic, with a slight touch of masculine for Cesar



Baby Room Lighting

Here it is, I love it and have been coveting one like it, (again, at West Elm) but amazingly I found a tutorial on how to make one! EEEEK, I am so excited... this will look so cute in a boy or girl room, or even above our dining room table.... I love it!

Today, I am attempting to get all my fabulous projects ready for this weekend. My mom has volunteered to come over for the weekend and help me with a few DIY things.... I am super excited for my ideas to come together. Although, we are not going to attempt this bed this weekend, this will be done in the near future. My sister, Courtne found this easy tutorial online and it claims to cost less than $50. I have been oogling over the exact same bed at West Elm for a few months now... My idea is to sell my couch (anyone interested?) and use this daybed for a swanky addition to our living room as the main seating... and doubling over as a bed for future guest to come... Thoughts?

I also thought I would attach a pic of a gorgeous kitchen I have been drooling over... The blue is the perfect color, I love the vintage refrigerator and the blue vintage mason jars on the shelving...
