The Distraction of Life...

Life has gotten a little busy, but some updates...
~I've become addicted to Pinterest the last few months (which helps during this not so kayaking friendly cold weather, but I'm still counting the days til Spring). The amazing interiors make me want to revamp spaces all day.
~I've finally built my headboard so my room feels more complete and cohesive.

~I'm craving going antiquing, but sadly, this polar vortex is not helping since most shops are in old barns without heat. The Point Barn in Northumberland, PA has some great stuff. The first floor has wood furniture by a company called Edelholz. They have beautiful tables that are similar to this, but a little tamer and less rustic. They are a little pricey, but definitely something worth investing in (if you are like me, you will linger and run your hand over the smooth surface soaking up the beauty of this dining room table.)

More updates to come...

52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 21!

Week 21! I have a cozy bedroom now, and love its quaint size, so I stemmed this weeks design with the simplicity of the room. The only change I would make to my current space would be to switch the window wall (I only sleep on my right side, so I would love it if the sunrise would be conveniently positioned to wake me in the morning. I love this wall color and the retro couch. And I'm a sucker for orange/ peach roses. Source A clean color scheme with eclectic accents for the kitchen.

Traveling & Life

My last post for my 52 weeks of floor plans conveniently coincided with a vacation I'd been anticipating all year. I took 10 days off work - something I rarely do! July 2nd I went on an adventure down south to places I had never been, with people I had never met but have long connections with! I saw amazing views along the way... Somewhere in North Carolina.... I was able to cross "The Biltmore Estate" off my bucket list & visited Asheville, NC. And my cousin's corny joke, "It's a little small....they could have built more" We then continued to South Carolina for a family reunion on the 4th! And finally, my favorite part of the trip, the Smokey Mountains. (Cosby, Tennessee) We stayed at a secluded log cabin on the top of a mountain with our own private road and 35 acres with trails on the property. I sadly saw no bears, but heard them in the woods around us in the early hours of the morning. I spent m...

52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 50!

I love the exterior of this place! It would be perfect with the rear of the house facing a small lake so I could wake up and go kayaking before starting my days! Source Maybe a lake and deck like this... Source I found this galley kitchen with a great decorative floor tile, simple white subway tile, and wood counter-tops. Source Another great tile! Source And finally this beautiful light blue faded shower tile! Source
