crate&barrel

Crate & Barrel is an amazing website. Its offers a chic design feel, which I absolutely love. The best thing about C&B is that the prices are great!
I'm a real bed & bath sucker so of course I'm going to share my favorite objects from that area first!

Marimekko Saarni Sage Bed Linens

Marimekko Poloneesi Platinum Bed Linens

Marimekko Madison Taupe Bed Linens

Marimekko Madison Blue Bed Linens

Jaipur Bed Linens

Marimekko Samovaari Surf Shower Curtian

So far those have been my favorite items I've found on C&B thus far. If you've noticed that there is a trend of blues, greens, and browns, its because I favor the cool and soothing effect that it brings to me. Reds, and yellows kind of make my head hurt.

Any who! On to other accessories such as pillows, rugs, lamps, ect. 

Remy Marine Rug

 Zumi Ivory Rug

 Arbor Maribel Gingko Indoor-Outdoor Pillow

Regatta Big Leaf Indoor-Outdoor Pillow

 Zoey Curtain Panel

Naya Vase 

Koz. Teal Vase 

 Aqua Wall Clock

Elevate Java Bookcase 

Sloane Grey Leaning Bookcase 

Sloane Grey Leaning Bookcase & 2 Desks Set

I think all of these items are completely cool, and to die for! I can so picture A & my laptops sitting on either side of the bookshelf desk, his side stocked with books about fire fighting, and mine with all of my books from design school.

Hey a girl can have dreams right?

ps. I provided links to all of the items, so if you were just as intrigued by any of these items, as I was, go buy um! and of course explore c&b more! They've got great stuff over there, I've hardly done them justice with the things I've shown you here!

ps.two. My wall decals from Trading Phrases just arrived! I'm so excited! I will try to get them up today so I can share them with you! 

Why Hello, Wallflowers

I've had my eye's set on these for a while, and now that I have them, and they are on the wall, I LOVE them!

Like I said why hello, wallflowers! I purchased these babies at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for the minimal price of $19.99, how could you pass that up?! They come in a pack of 25 in white, glossy black, and chrome.

The suggested hanging process slightly alarmed me. The box included a small bag of nails, the wall flowers snap onto the nail head once the nails are in the wall. I just couldn't fathom putting all of those holes in my walls.

So rather than poking 25 holes in my wall, I turned to my beloved Command Strips, which I literally use for EVERYTHING! As always they worked like a charm.

I didn't use these specific Command Strips, because these are the velcro kind. But you get the gist. The type that I used for this project was the double sided stick kind, and cut them into small piece's so they couldn't been seen from behind the flowers.

Before mounting these bad boys to the wall, I laid the flowers out on the floor to make sure I had a general idea of how I wanted them to look on the wall. Its always best to have a trial and error session before committing, and placing anything on your wall, especially if you decide to use the nails that come with something like this.

West Elm = LOVE

So I'm a sucker for contemporary/modern type design, and man oh man did West Elm suck me in. They display so many styles I love, its hard not to visit their site multiple times a week. Let me show you what keeps bringing me back for more!

Duvet Covers:

& my all time favorite Duvet cover I've seen on West Elm thus far.. I'll even give you the accessories that go along with this one!

YES, it even has the shower curtain and bath mat to match! Honestly I'm not as crazy about the bathroom items as I am about the bedroom items, but I just had to share.

Thats all for now, its time to head out to Bed Bath & Beyond with the mother. More to come later!

I will make progress

I haven't posted anything since I created this, & I'm not sure why.. but that's okay, because I've had a lot of inspiration lately. I've decided to use this as a place to display the things that I love so much, I want them in my own home.. whenever Adam and I buy our first home! & most likely an occasional posting about what I'm doing with the only space I'm free to update, our lake house! Sorry no good pictures as of right now, but oh is my mind a wandering with what I'm going to be doing to it come spring time!

Thanks to the amazing John & Sherry over at Young House Love for giving me encouragement to keep motivated and want to post on this everyday.
