TREND WATCH (PERSIAN RUGS)

1 / 2 / 3 / 4

I love a nice rug especially one that adds a bold pop to a room. I have been seeing more and more persian rugs lately especially in unexpected places like bathrooms. Here are four examples of this home decor trend. I love all the shades of pinks and oranges. These rugs liven up a room and all look amazing on the different wood floors. The rooms look more complete and give them a home-y feel. Would you decorate with a bright persian rug? 

ETSY FINDS 02

Alas, another Etsy Finds. I have too many Etsy favorites! Here are a few that have me feeling blue (& green) that my money tree is currently covered in about 6 feet of snow outside! Perfect pastel kitchen decor for a happy kitchen.

1. CurialVintage - Junghans Vintage Clock - I have a thing for vintage wall clocks and this one has me drooling. It's very art deco and the color is just perfection! Somebody please buy this... for me.

2. RossLab - Bowls - Tiny heart bowls. Enough said. 

3. BoHelina - Potholders - I just adore these little cloud potholders. They are just the right amount of quirky for the kitchen.

4. Center Ceramics - Mug - This mug is just too cute, color blocking always gets me. I'm also the biggest sucker EVER for mint green.

TINY HOUSE LOVE

I personally wouldn't say that I require a lot of space. I don't hoard things and I'm pretty minimal with my purchases. Tiny Houses have always caught my interest, but I didn't like the idea of them because all of the ones I saw were mobile. I recently stumbled upon Tumbleweed Tiny Cottages and I love the layout of this one. It is called the Whidbey plan. The pictures shown above are from At Home Arkansas. Her style is amazing which doesn't hurt! At just 557 sq. ft, could you live in a tiny house? What do we have that we really need? I love the idea of a tiny house because living in one would force you to answer that question constantly. I am looking into building one of these!

COLOR CRUSH {MAGENTA}

1 // 2 // 3 // 4

I have always been obsessed with color. I thought by the time I was old enough to own a home I would be kind of be "over" wanting everything in bright colors. I am in some ways, my style is definitely more refined, but I still am so drawn to bright. So I decided to make a series called color crush, to show how you can use bright colors in unexpected ways. I absolutely LOVE magenta. I think these are four awesome examples of how you can use magenta in & outside of your home and have it still look very clean and mature. A bright couch, a patterned rug, simple organization boxes, or a wall by your pool. 

CURRENTLY CRAVING {CINNAMON}

1 American cinnamon buns / 2 cinnamon roll pound cake

3 cinnamon roll pie crust / 4 cinnamon roll cake

Apologies for my serious absence from my dear blog. I have been designing my fingertips off and getting some really great stuff ready for the holidays. Anyways, fall has officially fallen upon us and I am seriously craving some cinnamon delights. Here are four recipes that have got me drooling. How delicious does all this look? and that cinnamon roll pie crust... brilliant?! I think so. What does fall have you craving?

ETSY FINDS 01

I haven't blogged because this weekend I celebrated National Bacon Day and I'm still recovering. I kid, but seriously I haven't had time to post. So here's a new weekly (hopefully) post. I love to look around Etsy. it's like a giant treasure hunt, you never know what cool stuff you might stumble upon. Each week I will share 4 really cool items from different shops. I hope you enjoy!

1 Gray December - Nesting measuring cups - This palette! Love. They remind me of something they would sell at Anthropologie and to say I'm obsessed with their homegoods would be an understatement. These would bring joy to any cook's kitchen.

2 Design Atelier Article - Fork & Knife bookends - I never thought I would love bookends, but these have captured my heart. These would be perfect for cookbooks. This UK based shop has a ton of other really great things too from hooks to wall clocks, it's a goldmine of awesome.

3 Red Stitch - Egg potholders - These are brilliant and adorable. I really love everything in this Amsterdam based shop. Seriously, that image alone makes you NEED these, right?

4 Maricor Maricar - Corn Cobbed Print - I love the work of Maricor Maricar. She does crazy embroidery. This is a print of one of her original works, how stinking cute?!
