mash up

curiously enough, i have an itch to start nesting. for forEVER i only thought preggo women did this, not soon-to-be married ones (like me)- but i've been swarmed with nearly newlyweds and newlyweds, so the reality is my season of nesting is near- or already encroaching on life as i know it. i'm excited. i'm ready. it poses and opportunity for me to fully develop and expand my sense of style and creativity by finding inexpensive and charming ways to connect b's style and creativity into my own. after all, i don't want a home full of feathers and ribbons (not that i want this anyway-heaven's no!). the house is a home for b and me. 
there are endless blogs, magazines, books, and tv shows to stick my nose into for inspiration- but there's just that one in particular that gets it right everytime. lonnymag will never disappoint.

can you say chalkboard refrigerator/freezer doors?! what?! i'm drooling.



i'm loving the bold colors in this living space



oh i sure do love a good outdoor space. both of these, though entirely different, are just absolutely perfect.  a fire pit or a city scape- i'm torn.
