October Resolutions

It's been a stressful few weeks, I was offered a job by one of my firm's clients and couldn't pass the opportunity up. I've been slowly adjusting to all the changes, but I am spent. I think changing jobs might be worse than moving. The crisp fall weather has arrived here and I'm ready to have a relaxing autumn season.

Is there something that signals the changing seasons for you? Trader Joe's new arrivals are pretty much pumpkin everything, so I think the season is upon us.

July Resolutions

It's hard to believe the year is already halfway over, but (glass half full) we still have six months, right? I'm going to try to take my yoga practice to the next level and take some classes at the Avenues Yoga studio. I think it will be nice to get a different perspective and to meet new people.

My Poppin order is arriving Thursday to get my office in tip-top shape and I'm hoping to make that space a little more inspirational and inviting. The best project is always the one you are starting next, so I'd like to try my hand at DIY concrete planters and these apparently amazing raised waffles.

Any fun projects, or interests you are hoping to further, for the next half of the year?

Interior Inspiration: Libraries

I love the warmth that books bring to a house.  There is a definite fascination with books and the stories they hold; a person's collection of books can say so much about what makes them tick.

Modern libraries can be just about anywhere in a house: dining room, living room, bedrooms, or even hallways.  A collection of books can add depth to any space and instantly feel like home.

Interior Inspiration: Pot Racks

Pot racks add a lived-in charm to kitchens.  I love that they are practical, but can also add a sense of fun and whimsy to a working kitchen.

Loving this serene and simple space...  I'm definitely always trying to declutter.

Side Table Designs

I love how personal bedside tables have become; they can be an expression of your aesthetics or just  a great place to store your favorite reading material.  

What do you use for a beside table?  Is it neat or is it messy?

Spring Organizing

Do you ever just feel like organizing?  I guess I just get that spring cleaning bug. 
Here is some of my inspiration:
