The new do'

The messy curly mop is gone, for now. I love it both ways, but at some point it gets a little too long and it's time to change things up. He now has a nice short hair cut just in time for summer.
*I can't get a smile out of him, this is what he gives me every time. Oh, well. He's still cute, I'll let it slide.

Confession: I'm pretty much obsessed with home decor, if you haven't already figured that out by now. Here are a few things I'm digging right now and can only dream at the moment of getting for my home.

This mirror from Etsy

my house has a case of the mondays

Do you ever look at something and finally it's like the blinders are off? Fresh eyes I think they call it. Well that happened to me the other day while looking around my house. EVERYTHING is BEIGE! Ok, not everything but too much stuff is all in the same color family. The walls are beige, the rug is beige, the lamp shades are beige, the curtains are beige, the chair is beige...etc, etc. You get the point. It's time for a change. I live in Oregon more specifically the pacific northwest. It rains or  is cloudy easily nine months out of the year. While outside might be cold and dreary, my house I feel, needs to be happy and colorful. The beige will be sloooowly filtering out and being replaced with more bright and white and colors. I will be sure to show you the eventual changes down the road, of course.

See what I mine?!? The beige has got to go.

The little tale of the polka dot vase

This little polka dot vase has a story, sometimes things or decor in your home do and sometimes they don't; this one does. We and when I say "we" I mean Bryan and I have had this little vase since we were probably seniors in high school ala 2003 or 2004ish. It was the very first thing we bought together as a couple. A pretty BOLD step for a couple of seventeen year olds, especially since we had no idea where life would take us after high school, but something deep down told us that where ever it took us it would be together. We would take turns keeping it in our rooms over the years, it was our love fern, apparently. Until finally we got married and made a home of our own, it doesn't have a lot of monetary value but it sure does have a WHOLE lot of sentimental value. When I look at it, it reminds me that I let my guard down and wore my heart on my sleeve just once and let love creep in and I'm SO SO happy I did!

Do you have any items in your home that have a story?

This perfectly lovely candle by DayNa Decker has made it's home on one of my side tables in the living room. I love lighting it after the kiddies go to bed and just sit, relax, and inhale it's sweet and musky scent. Delish. Anything you're currently loving?
