Oops! And my bedroom wall.

I just realized, I didn't blog yesterday? Well, no sense beating myself up over it, right?

I meant to play with some picture frames over the bed today but I spent too much time laying in bed (not feeling well) to think about what do over it.

For a while now I've been trying to figure out how to decorate the space up there and I'm still undecided.

This is the best picture I have of the wall space but not how it looks now

This is what it looks like (except the bed skirt and duvet are not wrinkled anymore) now, plus I had pushed the Armoire flat against the wall. I'd love a new headboard but its not in the budget now.

I'm leaning towards a photo collage like this (I don't know where I got this one..oops)

I was originally going to do something like this. (via Emily A. Clark)

Or just 2 frames? (via Emily A. Clark)

I like frames above the nightstands

This could be cute. (Via Emily A. Clark)

And another from Emily

Ideally, I'd love something like that but we haven't been blessed with gorgeous city windows. (Via designsponge )So, what do you like best?

Bleh!

I had something picked out for today but then I got busy and started playing with the new layout editor Blogger came out with (expect this page to look vastly different soon!).
So, you will have to wait until next Thursday for this post because I decided to have a Thursday theme. Keep an eye out for it....
I'll be back tomorrow with something. Until then, an adorable picture via desiretoinspire:

Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain

On September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds, a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, Montmartre. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth. Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend's funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book. At the same moment, a sperm with one X chromosome, belonging to Raphaël Poulain, made a dash for an egg in his wife Amandine. Nine months later, Amélie Poulain was born...

Whilst looking up some music for a friend I remembered how fabulous the soundtrack from Amelia is (listen)which of course reminded me of just how much I love Amelie.
If you've not seen this movie, you should. It always makes me so happy.

Bonne Nuit Lovelies!

Remember, even artichokes have hearts.

Macaron Love

These bright colored little babies keep popping up on all my favorite blogs. I'm determined to make some but I want to wait and make them for a special occasion. Feast your eyes on these pretties-

bottega louie

 

Oh Happy Day!

 

Me Oh My!

 

Not Martha

 

Two Brunettes

 

Simple- Pretty

Now tell me you don't want one of those.

How I did not know about Macarons until a month ago is beyond me. 

Lovely little links

I hope your monday was bearable. If not (or even if so) here's some sweet links to brighten your evening.

The inspiration for my own 365.

Can I live in this site ? I want it all.

Awesome!  Now, I just need to write a letter to go in it.

The most amazing maternity shoot. (scroll down, then scroll through).

These photos make me want to chop my hair off. Don't worry, I won't

This dress would be perfect for my friends wedding next month. While I'm at it I think I need this one too. Oh! and this one!

These clutches would make the perfect gift.

Desperately craving, I love cherries so.

Lazy pool days

I spent today reading by the pool. If only everyday could be spent like that.
Afterwards I came back in with an awful craving for hot dogs, baked beans and potato salad. How amazing does that sound?

P.s. My mom makes the best potato salad ever. Mom, make some and overnight it to me? Please and thank you!

Goodnight darlings!

Take me away

I constantly fantasize about moving away; San Francisco, NYC, North Carolina, South Carolina, or lately, Colorado.
I want to live in some charming house or a cute apartment with exposed brick, hardwood floors, crown molding and lots of windows. Something with character, I'm tired of the cookie cutter apartment complexes.

Here's some real (available!) places I've been loving on in our price range (with the exception of NYC (those ones are in the $,1600 range, our price range can't even get you a dumpster there):

A cute little Victorian fixer upper in Denver:

I'm in love with the Denver city lofts! I love exposed brick and beams

Remove all the clutter and ugly decor and this Charleston house has potential:

http://charleston.craigslist.org/apa/1694552815.html

A cute, old building like this one in Charleston would be great

Or this one (also Charleston)

Columbia, SC house which I find adorable:

http://columbia.craigslist.org/apa/1762386141.html

How great would this Asheville, NC house be?

NYC hardwood floors, corner windows and french doors? Yes please!

I have a love for exposed radiators as well. NYC

This 2 story NYC apartment is great, exposed brick + hardwood floors, awesome.

I have a fascination with apartment buildings like this. I love looking at every ones windows and trying to get a little glimpse of their lives in there. The windows always seem to have such character.

Ahhh..

I waited until the last minute and am now too tired to post anything real. I promise I have a  real post (or two) up my sleeve for tomorrow.
Goodnight!

I've got nothing but Trunk.

No really, I think I'm just tired and therefor feeling uninspired so I don't have anything super exciting to blog about but I can't tell you all about my awesome trunk.
I found this trunk at a yard sale I just stumbled upon. It was only $5!
The refurbishing process has been taking me a long time but I'm loving it. I decided I wanted to paint it grey and use some decorative paper for the front 2 panels then add some fun knobs. Well, grey #1 was much too blue, Grey #2 was too brown, Grey #3 was just wrong. Finally, I have found a color that I love

Here it is when I got it: 

After the first paint job. Too blue-

 

The final, awesome paint color. It photographs a little light-

Here is the paper I'm going to order for the front panels, it is from Snow & Graham:

Once I apply that I get to pick out 2 awesome knobs. Most likely from Anthropologie. I can't wait to get this trunk finished.

Oh, and here is the inspiration photo for this project (from design sponge):

Desperately wanting.

Today is hot. Too hot and it's just going to get hotter. I'm feeling wanty. Here's what I'm currently obsessing over.

New Glasses, something adorable like these:

Seriously, how cute are those two? Check out their even cuter video (and more glasses) here via Black*Eiffel .

New 7 For All Mankind . They fit like a dream and they're comfy.

These awesome his and hers pillows from Freshly Picked. It makes me wish T would grow a beard just so we could have them.

This cute personalize stationary from Rifle Paper Co.

California

Last nights dream was pretty cool if you ask me.

listen.
So I used to be a huge OC fan. (Yes, that teeny bopper soap opera like show.) Anyways, dream:


So I was living in an awesome huge house, like the Cohen's house in The OC but better and Marissa was there too and Caleb (her grandpa, who also plays Whidmore on LOST). He told me he wanted to adopt Marissa and would give me $5,000 if I'd let him. I said sure (I mean, after all, why not, I'm not her mom or heck, even legal guardian). Then he got me The ring (that pretty one down there *down arrow*), don't know why he got it for me but it was gorgeous. I explained to Marissa that Caleb loved her and was going to adopt her. The End.


Freaking weird as usual huh? Go figure. Someone said I'm thinking too much about Engagement rings, I think I just have weird dreams.

Here's some hotness from that lovely show.
