Current Obsession: Eames Chairs

Love them. So much.

Monday...Monday...

Back from camping! I had an amazing time. I really needed a weekend with my friends (like these ladies). The weather was beautiful and the campsite was right on the river. Just perfect. This first image is a view from our hike. The next pic of just the ladies. Wish I had gotten a pic of the whole crew....oh well.

My camping trip got me thinking about this wallpaper from Anthropologie. I know its been blogged about a bazillion times before but whatever. I think this wallpaper is too cute when used in the right way and for the right person's home. I don't know if I would use it in my home but I still admire it all the same!

Lovely.

By the way, if you google image search anything to do with Anthropologie all you get are stunning images. I could spend hours admiring all of them...

Happy Monday!

TGIF

Thank Gosh It's Friday!

So glad to have a few days off this weekend. I'm going camping with some friends in Asheville, NC this weekend and I can't wait! Too bad they don't have any yurts or teepees like here but I'm looking forward to it all the same. I hope everyone has a lovely stress-free weekend.

Friday Fun

Lets be silly today....just for funsies!

Perfect Pint-Sized Kitchens

So, I was flipping through my inspiration files and noticed that all my favorite kitchen images were tiny little galley style kitchens! For whatever reason I am just drawn to them. Maybe I really like them because I get annoyed by excess sometimes. These kitchens are the perfect example of how living just with what you need (no excess or over the top stuff) can be stylish and comfortable!

Modern Home in Charleston

I love Charleston for its traditional-style homes but sometimes it can get a little boring. So, when I came across this article featuring Angie Hranowsky's modern home in the Spring 2009 issue of Charleston Home (which tends to feature very traditional homes) I was smitten.
