Majali Illustrations

I think I have a new favorite etsy shop!  Majali has unique and beautiful illustrations that I just love.  The price is reasonable too!

Classroom Inspiration

Via Apartment Therapy

Decorating your home with vintage items typically found in the classroom may not appeal to those who longed to be anywhere but school.  However, if you are like me and love the smell of old books or spinning a globe to see where your finger will land, some classroom inspired items might be for you.

A Burst of Color

The weather is warming up this week and I am looking forward to the first signs of spring.  I know, I know, it will be a while yet, but maybe some color will hold me over until then.

Sawhorse tables/desks

I have been obsessed with sawhorse tables lately.  You may think they can only be used in rustic or casual decor, but I love them best when they are paired with something unexpected.  

like a great settee...

or a funky light fixture...

or sheepskin cushions(faux of course!)

And so it begins...

It is absolutely freezing today which makes this the perfect time to sit down with a cup of coffee and write my very first post.  I am so excited to get started on this new journey.  I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts on design, green living, and the simple pleasures(and problems) of country life.  Thanks for visiting!
