This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

This is one of the negatives to owning cats who don't always get along. I woke up this morning to this cute turquoise pot smashed on the floor. It used to sit on our dining room table & house a pretty plastic flower arrangement put together by my best friend.

On the bright side, this means I'm on the lookout for a new centerpiece. I sense a DIY coming on.

Mini Kitchen Makeover

Hello!

Ian and I are in the middle of a mini kitchen makeover. When we moved in, the kitchen walls were painted a "pea soup" green, which made the small kitchen feel dark, cramped, and unappealing. We rent, so unfortunately we are a little limited to what we can do, beyond painting. I chose a light aqua blue (Olympic's "Blue Dusk") to color to brighten up the room:

We are in the middle of finishing up painting, hopefully we will have new curtains and decorations hung up by the end of the weekend. Until then, here are a few photos from Pinterest that served as inspiration for the color scheme:

More to follow!

Bring the sunshine in!

Hello!

I love, love, love the idea of an an indoor citrus tree. What a great way to bring some sunshine in, especially during the colder months. Plus, think of making cocktails for houseguests using limes or lemons picked right from your indoor garden. Mhmmmm. Here is some inspiration below from Pinterest:

Thinking Spring

Hello!

Now that March is officially here, I'm starting to think spring. My birthday is coming up (3/12) and I'll be treating myself to a little spring shopping. Here is my wishlist/inspiration so far below:

I'm thinking lots of flowy, airy nuetrals and delicate patterns. Light cardigans with embellishments, wedge sandals, and cat eye glasses are on my radar. Maybe it's been the long winter (which is hopefully coming to an end!), but I'm not really feeling anything too bright or bold.
