FLICKR PHOTO OF THE DAY : MAIL.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : PINK SEATING.



Being a big fan of the color pink, I'm finding it weird that there is so very little of it in our new home- though I must say, this place is a whole less feminine than my last one. I'm thinking about eventually finding a dusty pink flea market easy chair someday (even if my husband disagrees).

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : POLAROID WEEK 2014.



I love when 'Roid Week rolls around. Pages and pages of gorgeous Polaroid shots- here are some of my favorites from this year's, which just ended today. Now I'm itching to take my land camera out for the weekend. (P.S.: I couldn't resist including the photograph of me & my husband on our wedding day that was added by my friend- it brings me joy.)

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : ON DISPLAY.



I feel like I can see into someone's personality when I peek at what they choose to have on display in their home. For example, I display toys from the 50s and 60s, piles of books, vintage scenic oil paintings, and cute food-related items, which I think reflects my personality quite well. Which is why I love seeing the objects and art others choose- it's comfortingly voyeuristic.
