Waiting on the (long) Weekend

Long weekend ahead! Last one of the summer!

I'm heading to the lake, rain or shine! Ice cream, farmers markets, bike riding, steak dinners, beers on the the beach and spending time with family and friends.

Hope you all enjoy the long weekend!

On the Move

This month has been a crazy month for close friends re locating and moving into new beautiful homes! Although I'm slightly (ok, extremely) jealous of their new living spaces and all the great decorating they will get to do once they are settled in, I'm grateful that I'll have plenty of experienced mover friends to help me  along with the process when the bf and I are ready to take the pludge.  Not to mention, I'm grateful to know I'll have plenty of friends to return the favor and help me move all my stuff!


With all the moving, it has me inspired with ideas of what I'd love to make my living space into.  Of course, most of my inspiration will be long term as I'll need to take baby steps when first moving out.  Here are some images that I've found inspiring lately: (all photos from decorpad.com)

 I love how both these kitchen images take the simple, elegant and crisp white theme and combine them with sophisticated and modern dark accents.

What I like most about these bedroom is that they take simple and affordable concepts and combine them together to create unique spaces.  I hope to have unique personal pieces in my bedroom that combine nicely with fresh flowers and fancy picture frames!
