chair it up.

Chairs, what can I say, I love them.  I'm often times trying to justify (to myself) why my husband and I just must have another Eames or Panton or xxx, the list goes on.  But the other day I had a funny thought.  I was thinking about my favorite place to sit, and you know where that is?  The floor!  ha!  When I'm coloring with my niece & nephew, crafting for a big project, or even eating dinner...I always sit on the floor.  I guess the conclusion here is that I consider chairs to be artwork.  They don't need to be functional at all, just something beautiful to look at.  And I am lucky enough that all of our chairs are pretty.  Oh chairs, I may not sit on you all of the time, but just being able to stare at you makes me oh so happy.

rugs.

One element of our dream home that I truly feel in love with, were those amazing rugs.  I went on a little search and found these bad boys.  Moroccan inspired, colorful, bohemian...I'll take one of each please.

dream home.

When can my husband and I move in?  Seriously!  Wow, these images are blowing my mind.  The all-white walls and floors, contrasted by the color explosions in the form of art, rugs, lighting & accessories.  I can't get enough.

the walls.

I've long been a fan of wallpaper.  Since we live in a rental, I've had to put my wallpaper dreams on hold for the moment (although I did read about this amazing removeable type on Oh Happy Day).  While I ponder on using the removeable option, here are a few faves that are the real deal.

etsy love.

I'm a big fan of etsy.  I love supporting artists who pour their hearts into handmaking clothing, jewelry, and homewares.  I recently stumbled across La Ferme Cherie's etsy shop and am longing to make one of those colorful pillows mine.  I recently purchased this gorgeous tuquoise necklace from Ily Couture and have been pretty much wearing it non-stop.
