What a Home: Mid-Century Inspired

 

I am in LOVE with this home! It's so cute and cozy. I'm also a fan of the art they chose for the walls. Nice big focal pieces that are simple enough so it's not overwhelming to look at. I really want to find that ampersand print.

5 Wonderful White Trees

 

One day I'm going to own a white Christmas tree with a bright bold color palette of either orange or pink and a great teal. Just to spice up those Christmas colors.

I feel a bit like a Scrooge this Christmas. I'm almost refusing to put up Christmas decorations and I've still got over 75% of my shopping to do. But in hopes of amping up my holiday spirit, I'm watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Perhaps my own Grinch-ness is coming from the lack of snow. You just have to have a White Christmas when you live in Minnesota. I'm not asking for a blizzard by any means, but being ankle deep in the fluffy white stuff would be nice...Today there were schools late due to fog. What the heck? When I was a kid there was a thing called a Snow Day.

What a Home: Sabrina Soto

 

Sabrina Soto is an interior designer who owns this bright penthouse apartment in New York City. Love the black, white, and gray neutrals with little pops of color here and there. Great way to keep things modern and classy but fun. I may take some tips from this one.

What a Home: Tree House!

How absolutely amazing would it be to live here? The perfect summer lake house. Love the creative use of mason jars for hanging lights and the tree stumps as chairs.

What a Home: Bold & Beautiful Spaces

From the Apartment Therapy's Shopping by Style: 25 "Get the Look" Guide. The more and more I find great interior design, the more appealing the idea of going back to school is...

Love the typography pieces.

Chalk wall!

Those pillows are great.

What a bar.

This weekend is one of those that I want to hit the rewind button and start over again from 5 pm Friday. 

But things that went good: 

-Finally figured out how I want the blog to look. It's only taken me a few months and many redesigns. 

-Got contact lenses again. Hope it helps with my (softball) game. 

-Watched some amateur baseball this afternoon and got a tan. 

So bring on the week, make it go by fast so next weekend can be better than this one. 

What a Home: Funky Junk

This house was on Apartment Therapy earlier this week and I love it! When I get into a bigger more permanent place, I want it to be filled with found treasures.

1. I am in love with that stair case. I want it. 

2. Also in love with the decor above the bed. Peaceful. 

3. And finally, I may have to steal the idea for the lantern. Never would have thought of that. 

Check this house tour out here for more great photos. (And there's tons of them.) This really gets me in the mood for thrift store hunting and garage sales. May have to take a trip to Bemidji, GF, or Fargo in the near future.
