July 3rd, 2010 I hope you all have big plans for tomorrow! I love simple and easy holidays like this where you only need to add a little color, throw some food on the grill, and lounge the day away! Unfortunately, I work all afternoon and then will be driving two hours to visit San for a couple days (that’s not unfortunate) so I will barely get to lounge or celebrate my favorite country.
But, hopefully you all get to relax and spend time with the ones you love. I thought I’d share one of my new favorite inspiration photos that comes from the July issue of Better Homes & Gardens.
I love the relaxed vibe this red, white, and blue room gives out. I’m gushing over the painted ceiling and the white and blue lanterns. I wish I could be celebrating somewhere like that, but I will hopefully get to squeeze a small picnic with my parents in. I guess that’s good enough for me!
Have a safe and happy weekend, everyone!

June 9th, 2010 While my birthday weekend was amazing, I must admit that it has pushed me back – way back – with plans. I’m holding a garage sale with a few friends in two weeks (more on that later this week), I would like to clean and organize my room (it’s a mess with presents and just random lack of care this week), I’d like to write some really interesting and detailed posts, and I really just need a day to myself! As much as I love my friends and family, I need time to myself to rejuvenate every once in a while.
This all is important, I promise! It’s been rainy and crappy out lately, so I’ve been dreaming of the perfect space to veg out and do absolutely nothing but relax in, or catch up on my blog reading and posting in.
I’m thinking of rooms like this…

April 19th, 2010 With all this unseasonably warm weather during the past month and a half, I have found myself cramped and confined within city limits, wanting to reach out to my roots in the simpler country life I’m so accustomed to. I gathered some photos to help myself rejuvenate in the city since I am not able to go wonder through the woods or feel the crunch of gravel beneath my feet right now. Plus, school is becoming incredibly jam-packed and I need a break! There’s nothing like some relaxing photos to refresh my mind!
Enjoy!

April 12th, 2010 We all have things we have treasured and adored since we were children. My childhood came at a time when there was an explosion of Disney cartoon movies of classic stories like Cinderella and Snow White. One of my longstanding obsessions, and one I think many people find themselves obsessed with or mildly addicted to from time to time are ladders. I don’t mean ladders like carpenters use, but sliding ladders like the one Belle used in the library where she spent lots of her time in the great Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast. I have been smitten with them ever since seeing them in the movie. They are not the most practical items for indoor decorating, especially in a home full of children, so I have a feeling this post of inspiration pictures is as close as I am going to get to having a sliding ladder of my own, unless I open up a bookstore which is one of my dreams to do.
I do not discriminate against indoor ladders, which you will see by the photos below – I love them in all sorts of rooms from the traditional library, to kitchens, and even in bathrooms! I
