I am usually deathly afraid of attics, but this musical attic makes me so happy! I can just picture myself bangin’ on my keyboard, crafting and reading magazines all day in this creative space. What do you see yourself doing here?

It’s officially one month until the start of Spring and I spent the weekend prepping my garden for a plethora of veggies and herbs. Along with getting my soil all ready, it’s also time to to plan ahead for some spring/summer decor. Ikea usually starts to display their Summer outdoor goods right about now and they’ve done right this year. Check out all these yummies to brighten your day!

Just stretching out the V-day red and pink theme for one more day…how precious is this kitchen and breakfast nook? Although I usually prefer a kitchen with an open floor plan, I like how this short wall creates a simple partition to hide some of the kitchen mess. Can’t get over these pink cabinets…

It’s almost V-day and it’s at the top of my list as one of my favorite holidays. The BF and I never celebrate it in the traditional sense (i.e. we refuse to be taken advantage of by this made up holiday), but I do indulge myself with putting hearts on whatever I can, eating as much candy and sweets as possible, and still giving out Valentines even though it’s been many, many years since I’ve been in grade school. What can I say, I really heart hearts day and I heart these heart balloons from this cutie patootie wedding. I hope you take the day to indulge a little!

It’s certainly not the first time I’ve posted about it…remember that amazing tile, or how about that showstopper sofa?! This exotic motif has had it’s place in the design world for hundreds of years with its ancient roots, but it’s looking fresher than ever. Whether in a retro, contemporary or traditional setting, ikat has a place almost anywhere.
