Things I love!

Hello!

I have been thinking a lot lately about wanting things I can't have.... Like a house, or walls that aren't white, or nice furniture, or a craft room, or a chandelier, or a dining room table that seats 12 people. The list goes on and on!

But we're just not in that stage of life right now and that is so ok! So I started thinking about the beautiful things in our home and the beautiful things I DO have. I can honestly say they make me happy every single day!

Iceland poppies in the flower bed. I walk by these every time I come in or out of the house and I love them! I love watching them bloom and seeing them change colors!

These darling measuring spoons! They are called love beyond measure. A little cheesy but they make me smile every time I use them!

Our white duvet cover. I love it! No this isn't our bed, isn't it dreamy though! But I scored ours and two pillow cases for $10 bucks so that makes it even sweeter.

This poster in my living room. One it's black and white which I totally love, it's super romantic, and my wonderful husband got it for me as a surprise.

Our silverware. How cute is it? Come on it's all swirly and fun but totally chic at the same time!

And last but certainly not least, my white dishes. These may possibly my most favorite thing that I own! I mean they look so fresh and crisp and food just instantly looks more wonderful when served on beautiful white dishes : )

So there you have it, a short list of things I have that I love, and a smaller reminder to myself of how very blessed I am : )

Have a great day!

Love Story

"The greatest love story ever told....

Is your own."

I saw this quote on a trailer for the movie Letters to Juliet. (I haven't seen it yet but heard it was wonderful!)

You can watch it here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prc50Uod_vQ

It made me think about my wonderful love. My amazing husband. I am so lucky to be his wife, and every day I am in awe of him. We are so in love and never grow tired of each other. In fact I hate being away from him.

I love our love story.

Living Room Inspiration and Eye Candy

Hello! I have not blogged in a long time! Which is O.K. because I have been trying not to obsess over my house lately and not blogging as much has helped with that.

I love blog land and all the wonderful ideas out there but a lot of times it just makes me hate my basement rental apartment.

However, we are moving soon, to start law school yipee! and will be moving into a "nicer" place. I can not wait! It's still just a two bedroom condo but it has natural light and... wait for, hard wood floors. I think I am in cheap apartment heaven!

So on a very tight budget I am thinking of what I want to do in the living in our soon to be new home. I currently have lots of black and white, some lime green which I LOVE and some dark purple and teal. Trust me it looks better than it sounds : )

But I have been wanting to get rid of the purple and teal and focus more on the green. I can't explain it but I think it's the only color and theme in our house I haven't gotten sick of so I'm stickin with it! My only question has been if I should incorporate another color ( I was thinking yellow) and what feel I wanted the room to have.

And then tonight while looking at pictures for this post, it hit me! I can just stick with the black, white and green! It's what I love so just work with it. So thank you blog for helping that just click, I love it when that happens. So anyways enjoy the rest of the pictures!

This is it! This is the picture that made it all click for me, I want this living room! I love the feel and the colors!

This one feels so fresh and fun! I love the soft freshness of green : )

So soft and pretty! I'm thinking white furniture is worth all the work of keepin' it clean.

This green is a little darker or sage than I want to go but I am loving that little shutter on the table!

This one is very modern and cool. I love the modern look but it doesn't seem comfortable or inviting, two things a home should always be.

This is also darling! I can just picture our stuff in this room, wood floors and all : )

I think this would be my happy place. it's like sunshine.

This is a fantastic blend of modern, comfortable, and vintage!

Love love love this room! All that white, yellow, and green is just gorgeous! It's the perfect blend!

This also has a great blend of modern pieces with more traditional pieces. It's a tough look to pull off but looks great when done right!

Hope you enjoyed all the wonderful pictures! Have a great week!
