have a cozy sunday!

(via)

hi, here's to hoping you are cozy this weekend. digesting lots of holiday comfort food, adjusting to the seasonal change and getting into the holiday spirit. for some reason i'm not in xmas panic mode. i've slowed down this year, enjoying walking local main streets, and poking and shopping for more special gifts. it just feels nice. 

i'm also reading this cover to cover, mapping out our route, getting the main aspects booked (flight done!) like car rental, places to stay etc, then let the wandering in between begin. cannot wait!

and if you are doing some internet surfing like me, some fun finds from around the world wide web:

these terrazzo wall hooks. yes please. these are pretty too. 

i want this coat bad. 

a gorgeous floor lamp.

my next kitchen purchase. and who wouldn't want velvet oven mitts this time of year?

yum.

to add to my cheeseboard addiction. i really like this rustic version here too. 

this sherpa belt bag would make shopping easier. 

the color, pattern & texture of this coverlet. she has so many beautiful things here.

a beautiful footed bowl.

this banana bark chandelier is striking.

i'm not really a watch person, but this one is pretty.

her before and after bathroom makeover is eye popping. 

really liking this fern storage cabinet for my bedroom. i've been eyeballing this one too.

here wishing you a lovely long weekend! what are you up to? anything fun? i just wallpapered the little dining room of my house by the sea (this is the pattern) and it's so, SO fabulous in person. so spending the weekend hanging back up a few paintings, cleaning the house (it's raining cats and dogs this weekend) and sipping some IPA's. not bad, not bad at all. 

and i'm not back to work until wednesday, then headed to maine for the weekend with friends next week, golfing a round by the ocean (i've never golfed but watch it on t.v. ALL the time, will see how i do!) and eating our weight in food and wine. feels good to make plans, travel, see so many people without masks, a beautiful summer is on the horizon. 

and some fun finds from around the world wide web (lots of great lighting finds in this post):

 this room, the color palette, is just perfection. and can we talk about this bathroom too?

ok this parasol pendant shade? might have to pull the trigger on this for my living room. and maybe this one for the bedroom.  

this lamp. this one too. 

yum. 

this arched vase. 

etsy love.

enjoy!

happy new year! how are you?

we are experiencing a rough start to our brand new year. no doubt about it. but tryyyyyyyy to think of it this way...it's only the beginning of many clean slate days ahead, many days to do good, to be good, to be healthy and push the reset button as many times as you want or need. there's room for all of that. so that's what i'm feeling and just going to stick to it!

i hope you are doing ok and feeling the hope, cause it's there! and some fab finds from around the world wide web:

how cool!

so much vintage goodness.

this snowdrop pendant. and i've always loved a good globe.

a tiled dining table? i think it's pretty awesome.

a splash of this stardust wallpaper in the right spot is super fun. see how they used it here.

these storage options are beyond gorgeous.

looking for a unique outdoor firepit? they have some neat options. this one is my fav.

might pick these up for my 2 small decks this summer. liking how beachy they look too.

about to pull the trigger on this woven pedestal bowl. really like this river stone bowl too.

for beatles fans.

and this candle smells like roma heirloom tomatoes? i want that.

and quarantinging makes you want to bake cakes (and a million other things). this one looks delish! um, this one too.

seriously thinking of cutting bangs. inspiration one, two and three.

i'm saving to have new wood floors put in. this first photo makes me want to paint them. and how amazing is that unfinished tile addition added to the brick fireplace?

just bought this printed smock dress and is super cute in person.

this podcast inspired me this week. but really they are all so good. a positive way to start the day! and i've decided i'm also a multi-hyphenate. gladly too.

yum, this cauliflower dish. i could eat this all day long. 

a wow couch, to say the least. wow, this one too.

a wow light. i really like this. (can't afford it, ha! but really like it).

enjoy your weekend!

sunday & ceramics

today feels serene and soothing. so do these beautiful ceramics by california artist julie cloutier...

enjoy!

currently coveting akari light sculptures

i feel like i've gone through some months now not knowing exactly what is inspiring or moving me in some way, besides nature...

but thease akari light sculptures stopped me today and i'm finding them particularly interesting and a bit dreamy. what do you think? read more about the artistic process here in creating a modern take on the traditional japanese gifu lanterns. just loving these. enjoy!

her eye on design

finding so much inspiration in tiffany lusteg's art installations. the color, the texture, the layout and design of everything has me so excited, by all of it...

enjoy!

monday inspiration

super drawn to these fashion shots today, filled with drama and flowers and texture...

just saying...

looking to layer

the lovely french jewelry line lou.yetu is offering up some budget friendly options for layering (or lathering) yourself in gold...

i'm suuuuuper drawn to gold right now. it's timeless and always just so gorgeous. lou.yetu offers up rings and bracelets too, and trust me, these are all stackable friendly too! but the necklaces had me today. layer in lengths, texture, shape. i want one of each of these. see more here & enjoy!
