Happy Birthday Mama


Happy Birthday to my beautiful mama - my sounding board, my number one fan, and the person I aspire to be like every. single. day.  You are without a doubt the most loving mother, and I am so lucky that you are mine.  To another wonderful year... a big year... and so much to look forward to.

I love you so much.
xoxo

Inspiration to Reality: Classic, White Living Space

Resim
I haven't done a design board in a while and it's time to get those creative juices flowing again! This living room (from Houzz) is pretty much the stuff my dreams are made of... Traditional Living Room by Barrie Interior Designers & Decorators Staples Design Group Open concept.  Neutral Furniture. Classic details. Contemporary lighting and accessories. Worn natural woods.  It's love. I put together an inspiration board to get the look (for likely A LOT less than this room cost)... take a peek: That sofa is actually one of the ones we'd been considering from Pottery Barn - the Carlisle Couch with it's deep feather stuffed  seat cushions and pretty turned legs.  It's not cheap, but it's the core of the room! To balance out the cost of the sofa, everything else is a bargain find - that rug from RugsUSA is just $1000 right now (with the 60% off discount) for an 8x10' - great price. I love the look of the grain sack throw pillows, and the carved wood c...

Dining Room Updates

Resim
Hola friends!!  More updates on the apartment! Things are getting done around here - art hung, walls painted, and now we're slowing down because it feels like we live here for real, instead of that "just-moved-in can't-find-the-cheese-grater" temporary feeling.  Do you know what I'm talking about?  To put it simply, we're feeling completely settled now, so I thought I'd share a few pictures of the dining room. You've already seen a few snapshots from this post when I hung the shelves up, and this post where I put up pictures of the linen curtains in here, but here's the room in it's fairly "finished" state. The rug in here is new for this apartment - I'd blogged about it here - and when it first came, I was not 100% sure about how I felt.  Looking at these pictures, I'm still not fully sure it's love, but I like it.  I like the colors, and how it feels really tied in with the rest of the house, and it's got a nubby, ea...

Chicago Apartment: Coffee Tables

Resim
Adding onto yesterday's post, I wanted to pull together some (affordable) coffee table options that fit within the living room aesthetic.   Some are more rustic, some more refined.  Some have storage (hello hidden remote controls) while some offer no clutter concealment.  Some have glass tops, some are solid wood.  Some are more beachy, which some are more elegant.  They really run the gamut - hopefully there are some contenders in there for the Chicago apartment. Which are your favorites? Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source
