a house in a house

This house in a house was built by a family of three to give the parents a little more privacy. Totally makes me wish we had gone with a large 1 bedroom apartment instead of springing for a 2 bedroom. It's genius! Not to mention adorable. See all the details here.

road trip postcards

What a fun way to send updates on a road trip to loved ones back home. Have them pre-stamped, fill them out and add a small polaroid of you at the location. Personalized and adorable! Let's be honest, you're family would much rather see a picture of you at the grand canyon on a well designed card than a cheezy (over-priced) picture of a huge hole in the ground :) Get yours here.

loving

 

I'm pretty much smitten with these little chairs for kids. They'd be great for a mini reading nook. {via babyccino kids}

embroidered wallpaper

I'm almost speechless...almost. Embroidered wallpaper? Could there be a more amazing wallpaper? And of course, I just love the design :) {via Black. White. Yellow. via Yellow Trace}

process + poster

I know it's a lot of pictures, but I just couldn't resist. Genius process + poster by Roland Tiangco. Love this! {via The Spotted Fox}

modern chore chart

I love this idea/design from Danyelle. Elliott is definitely at the age where he could really use a simple chore chart to track his "hep" (help) around the house. Although, to be fair, I could really use one too.

concrete stools

How awesome are these stools? They're made from concrete canvas which can be shaped while wet and dries 24 hours later! But I have to admit, it's the colorful stitching that won me over. {via Honestly, WTF}

if you have an iphone...

...you might just love these unique phone covers. {found via Conundrum}

beach thingy

A chair that you literally stick in the ground. Simple and colorful. Love it!

faceted shakers

Hi friends! We are here in NYC apartment hunting like mad but I just wanted to pop in and say hi and share these little lovelies. They are perfect salt + pepper shakers, and I need them for our new apartment (!) Assuming we find an apartment and don't just become homeless :) {via mint}

p.s. a HUGE thank you to my lovely guest posters last week. Weren't they awesome?

Guest Post: Annie's Wishlist

Today's guest post is from amazing Annie (at least that's what I like to call her). Annie from Annilygreen, is an incredible crafter, design-lover and just an all around fantastic gal.  Thank you Annie!

People always post wishlists, but I'm kind of an impulse shopper, so things rarely stay wishlisted for long before they're being handed to me by the UPS lady.  Then I apologize profusely to my bank account and try to do better. So here are a few things I've fallen hard for lately.

First, I could not resist these tiny brass earrings from Upper Metal Class (it's that clever shop name that got me).

The best and worst site for me right now is FAb.com.  Have you seen it?  Have you joined yet?  Go sign up!  Their emails are full of gorgeous design and really great deals.  I've been eying this brilliant tissue holder for literally years, so when it showed up on Fab at a steep discount, I was all over that.  I'm saying it's a birthday present from my husband....never too early for a Paper Pot from Molla Space!

This light was the next Fab.com special that reeled me in.  A Simon Karkov light for 70% off?  Yes!

So there's a bit of my former wishlist.  I will now be going on a spending fast. :)  What have you been buying?

a well creased table cloth

I love this idea of a table cloth that works WITH the creases rather than needing to iron it. I think I feel a DIY coming on! {via a subtle revelry}

DIY colored utensils

Gorgeous, color polymer coated utensils. Seriously, I'm in love. get them from Ladies & Gentlemen or, try this DIY to give new life to your old silverware.

have a seat

Just a few sofas and chairs I am swooning over for the new apartment. Some more than others but I love them all!

reunion shirts

In conjunction with Seesaw, Kin has created these awesome family reunion shirts. We've never been a "reunion" type of family...but these make me wish we were!
