    I'm borderline obsessed with &Tradition but understandably why. Right? I'm loving their new pieces, beautiful lines and impeccably designed. And while we do carry a great selection of &Tradition not all items are available in the USA quite yet.

    Shop &Tradition.

     

     


  • Monochromatic design in whites





    Monochromatic design in whites. It's nice, you think? The charcoal floors in the top space and the stacked-y shelf in the kitchen are the best balance to such a clean canvas.

    Do you style your objects in your home or do you just plop stuff in? Just curious.

  • My favorite! Peonies!




    In case you haven't noticed, it's peony season! The markets are bursting with the loveliest giant pink (white or red) blossoms. Last week my husband bought me the most beautiful and loveliest smelling light pink peonies and tomorrow my plan is to visit this place outside of Portland... oh just imagine....!

    I can't get enough... images from: one, two, three, four, five, six.

  • Ideas: Kitchen Updates



    I have been eyeing kitchens lately as a "kitchen renovation" is on my upcoming birthday list. A kitchen for my birthday? Sure!

    3 Things I like in a kitchen:
    1. Open shelves. I don't care so much for upper-cupboards anyways. But can I keep open shelving tidy? That is the question
    2. White walls & tile. My current tile situation is downright dreadful. My kitchen, sadly, gets very little light and a white backdrop of tile might be just the element needed.
    3. Open style kitchen. I win with this as my kitchen, while small, is full open to the living & dining room.

    Similar Elements:
    1. yellow pendant lights
    2. black & white rug
    3. white dishes

    What about you? Do you like your kitchen....?

  • Inspired: 3 Cozy Outdoor Spots

    Now that it's officially spring (with summertime temperatures in some areas of the country!) I'm hankering to spend time outside. My plan this year is to create a couple cozy, relaxing nooks in our yard & decks - outdoor living, urban style!

    I've collected 3 very impressive outdoor living areas in the images above. I love the softer, indoor-ish objects used (the leather stools!) in the first image, matched with a chair this would make for the perfect impromptu coffee/sunshine break spot.  The second image makes me want to cozy up & take a nap in the "sleeping nook" - add a few blankets &  I'm set! And who doesn't love to dine al fresco? The last image is a fantastic example of layering the space (wood, pebbles & grass!) with materials and height.

    I have not quite decided on how to cozy up our outdoor space, but one thing is for sure. I will soon be adding this giant hammock to the mix!
