Sang and Serena Company…

If you are on the hunt for transmodern furniture, Sang and Serena Company has a collection of beautiful pieces.  Woven in a modern space, these pieces would look super cool!

Inspiration {Quoted Decor}…

Quotes have been trending in decor for awhile now.  Whether it’s in art or printed on a pillow, we can’t seem to get enough of quotes, letters, numbers…all of it.  It’s a great trend that is sticking around for awhile.

Instagram that…

Here are a few of my latest Instagrams.  One pretty yellow tulip, my favorite tree in our yard, A Tavola’s in Boise and my struggling air plants.

 

 

3 Things To Love {Caviar 20}…

Caviar 20 has some insanely awesome items for your home.  Above are a few of my favorite finds.  If your budget is roomy enough for these finds, I highly suggest you invest in these pieces.

Li2bitt…

When styling a kitchen, I love using unusual items to fill the space.  Li2bitt is a set of salt and pepper shakers made out of concrete in the shape of city fire hydrants designed by Elda Bellone and Davide Carbone.  I would love a set of these in my own kitchen!

 

Llamas’ Valley…

Happy Monday folks!!  If you need some inspiration to start your week off with, Llamas’ Valley released their one year anniversary issue today and it’s FANTASTIC!

Planters…

With summer quickly approaching, it’s almost time to start planting.  And with planting comes the perfect pots.  And the perfect pots are coming from West Elm this year.  Seriously, I am so impressed with their selection!  I have my eye on several different styles.

Inspiration {Swedish Design}…

Here is some major space inspiration from Åsberg Interiör & Styling.

 

Growth…

I have become more and more of an art lover the older I get.  This art print titled “Growth” by Carrie Marill, is the perfect mix of colors, textures and shapes.  You can find this piece and many more ultra cool pieces at 20×200.

We had fun…

This last Saturday, Kristin and I hosted a meet & greet with Vanessa De Vargas.  Such fun times!  Annie and Brandon of Heirloom & Vine graciously let us use their fantastic studio space.  Talented and creative peeps (like Jennifer and Joyce) came out for some hang out time with the beautiful Vanessa, whom I absolutely adore, BTW.

Local designers, keep your eyes and ears open for more networking possibilities!

Holaria…

My husband and I, mostly my husband, LOVE searching for and watching creative videos on Vimeo.  It opens up the big wide world of talent and creativity for us viewers to gaze upon.  I recently was introduced to Holaria, a porcelain design studio from Brazil.  Above is a short film that was made about the creative process at Holaria.  It’s super intriguing!  So sit back, relax, and be inspired.

Shop these porcelains and more at Holaria.

A Perfect Palette…

I am IN LOVE with Cassie’s palette choices this week!  So fresh and springy.  She did a great job pairing the pastels with one or more bold colors to create a beautiful color contrast.  Gorgeous!

Head over to the Veda House to see my Insider’s Tips.

How cool are these Geo side tables from Made.com??  They would look perfect on either side of a bed.

Project…

Hi peeps!  It’s Sunday and I’m blogging!  This never happens but is happening today.  This past week has been National Painting WeekSherwin Williams approached me about participating in National Painting Week by creating a paint project.  It was perfect timing because we are getting our home ready for a photo shoot this week, so we have some serious  projects!!  Also, in honor of it being earth day today, I got to choose the color green!  I heart green so that wasn’t a tough call.

I chose to re-claim this dresser that has been following my husband around since he was in Junior High.  Can you believe that he has had it for that long??  It obviously needed alot of help.

Before we painted the dresser, we had to do some prepping.  Because of how wobbly it was, Shane (my extremely cute husband) did some structural work, as well as sanding ect ect ect.  He also added cute wooden legs that you will see further down this post.

Since I am a cra cra crazy fanatic for mint green right now, I chose to paint this piece using Sherwin William’s Spirited Green.  I love how fresh and springy it feels!

And here it is!

We also added black stripes on the top of each drawer, giving it some more detail.

This project was simple but such a transformation.  Nothing a few legs, paint and some stripes can’t fix.  Thanks Sherwin Williams!
