oh my goodness, did i ever fall in love with this wild herringbone print from cozy mia! i really enjoy artwork that makes your eye meander, and all of these seem to do the trick. pieces like this are exactly why i love to paint my walls white, so i can add bright and bold pieces to spice things up. which is your favorite?

today, i am so excited to share with you the latest addition to the decor here at my house. this beautiful pink over-sized cowl (or foot warmer or bed covering) arrived this week from the domestic peacock and oh how i have loved incorporating it into our home!

it is so soft and the over-sized stitches make for just the right cozy look and feel. with our chilly mornings, this has been the perfect addition to my morning coffee. visit the domestic peacock to see more of her beautiful hand crocheted goodies!

napkins, you say? yes, napkins! this diy project comes to you from made and just made me so excited (get it?).  literally made from ikea napkins ($2 a bag) and twist ties, this project packs a ton of bang for it’s buck.

with so many variations- you can make magnolias, roses or even chartreuse-stripey flowers like this one! i think they are incredibly chic, and would be perfect to string above a table, decorate a wedding with or add some punch to empty wall. visit made’s wallflower tutorial for more beautiful pictures and photographed instructions to take you step by step.

you know i love me some rustic cottage decor, especially when it’s mixed with modern accessories and beachy colors. i think this do it yourself towel rack from this old house would be the perfect addition to any bathroom that needs a little extra touch. can’t you just see your house guests hanging up their towels and smelling the fresh flowers? cute. cute. cute.

as we head out to house hunt today, looking at other’s spaces seems to sink in a little deeper. i think i’m somewhat addicted to envisioning spaces, what i would do with them and how our lives would intertwine with them. though my tastes change from year to year and even month to month, today i’m loving amanda johnson’s space. it’s colorfully retro yet simple and peaceful. visit her blog see even more of her darling style.

turns out i have a terrible memory. i spent a good chunk of this morning filing through yesterday’s history to try to remember just exactly where i saw this (ever do that?), when i finally remembered that it was on this new-to-me blog, bloseom living! isn’t it pretty? this home comes from the lovely delphine of l’atelier de madame m. (you can use this translator to read it in english). oh how i love this french home! the pops of color, the grey wall in her kitchen and that beautiful mirror are among my favorite elements. what are yours?
