I’ve had this one for a long time, and I’m finally getting around to posting it. I lovelovelove full skirts, and ombre.
I also love this print…anyone know where to find it?
And another cute print…do you see all the dress forms?
During my summer in Michigan I really fell in love with the ranch. I’ve never really liked it before because I just assumed it had to look pretty dowdy. But there were quite a few attractive and modern ranches on my way to work that really changed my mind. And the other week I came across this renovated ranch and completely fell head over heels. I love white and one of my all-time favorite architectural details is wood beams on a vaulted ceiling.


And what do you think of this colorful one? I mean, I do love yellow, but this might be a bit too much, even for me! I do love the little terrace on top of the roof though. So relaxing!
Some pretty cute bathrooms: this first one I love the blue theme (I’d like to have a “blue room” or a “red room,” etc. someday) and all the tiles. The built-in look of the cabinets is nice, and I like the separated sinks. But maybe there a little too separate with the cabinets in between? The bromeliad also looks a bit smushed on the right side there…all in all, pretty cute though. The second one reminds me of my own bathroom, which is mostly white and clean looking, though I have my Dona Catalana framed magazine and my red/orange towels and rug, and my gray shower curtain. I like simplicity of it. And I really like those maps!

So…a few weeks ago I bought this Yankee Candle from a little farmer’s market in Michigan. I LOVE the scent and it smells just like a summer night spent on the roof. Today Apartment Therapy asked all their readers what their favorite YC scent was, and several people noted Midsummer’s Night because it smelled like men–uhhh, how did I miss this? I just smelled it again and it indeed smells exactly how every man should smell. Kinda feel weird about burning it now, but man it does smell SO GOOD! Ay ay ay…
Found a great new lamp resource, Lamps Plus. A whole range of prices, but more just inspiration for me at this point. If I don’t find anything suitable at IKEA this weekend, then maybe I’ll look into it for real…

Also, after I posted this room, I’ve been after chandeliers that I would actually like to have in my room. A mini chandelier in the bedroom as a reading light has really grown on me. To imitate the look in the original room, I like this first blue one, full of lots of crystals and whatnot. But all the others I like are very sleek and modern. What say you?
