I am loving these looks right now... apparently I am ALL about the COLOR this week! 🙂 Not sure where the photos came from, I've just shimmied them into the "inspiration" folder on my desktop over the past week. Notice a common theme (other than color) going on here? All of these items would make... Continue Reading →
Maybe I'm a little dramatic, but this blue pine table from One Kings Lane is the stuff I dream about at night! The vintage-y goodness of the shape, the colors, the chippy paint... okay, I'm drooling. Even better? It's on clearance!!! I love it so so much, but unfortunately am not on the market for... Continue Reading →
When to (Not) Quit: Tricolor Table
Remember my post about knowing when to quit? Apparently I don't. And that's not always a bad thing. Here's a picture of the dining set finally finished (and I'm so, so happy with it!!!)

All about the brights is right. These babies came from the "Free" section on Craigslist (you may also recognize them stuffed into the car on the "Prius Problems" post.)

Getting Inspired
If you're anything like me, you can scroll through sites for hours and hours to find inspiration. Wait, is that only me?Mayyybe I'm a bit obsessed.
