more spain love, xxox

getting closer and closer to our trip to europe, and i cannot help but be inspired by all things either dutch or spanish.

check out this home, i love all the white, i could easily move right in!

i love the white with that perfect light and all the green plants.

the tile floors are pretty spectacular as well.

mmmm, naptime.

SWOON

there is so much about this living room i am in love with.........but that mirror is totally worth all of it!

espana

so, in looking forward to our european trip, i stumbled upon this wonderfully white/colorful place in spain, i love the use of color and that light, it's like nothing else, uh, i can hardly wait.

in addition to the color use and light, i love all the textural differences, poor john is hating it departure minus 3 days (in europe) when i started hurling myself around and demanding he leave me there. i already have post vacation blues and it's still 6 weeks away, really neurosis??

copenhagen kitchen

bf's new job is parented by a company in denmark and i can't wait til he has to go on a work trip (because i am going too).......he might need someone to fetch him coffee or things of that nature.

this kitchen is styled with vintage tools much like the kitchen of my familys country house out at rockville. love this work.......

found here

we are headed to middleton tomorrow night with some friends to relax and spend some time together away.......

have a great weekend.

it's our one year anniversary

bf and i are celebrating our one year anniversary today.
god, i love him so much.
everyday he makes the happiest woman in the world.
i love you bf.

in addition, here are some cool photos of the work of jimmy schonning, a swedish designer found here, and much more goodness at his website here

still sort of swooning for sweden, i guess.

cottage crafting

back in my sewing phase and unfortunately the dining room table is covered in fabric, notions, serger, and another machine. ridiculous, we have a three bedroom house, and the only place to sew is the dining room table, oh well, i guess until i have my own studio with a large table, dining room it is..

this is an adorable sewing cottage...........but it's neat now, what about when you starts sewing?

it measures 4 x 6 ft and can be found here

cottage in the Catskills

sandra foster restored this old 9 x 10 foot hunting cabin in the catskills of ny into a beautiful shabby chic cottage.
i adore this space. no kitchen or bathroom, but the most precious cottage. would make a wonderful guest room (much like the airstream project i want for our backyard).

swooning for sweden AGAIN!!

 

i love the white floors, the simplistic organization, the mix of elements..

the old fan and industrial fixtures

built in shelving with raw exposed wood trim, that old canister and the simplicity of the single ornate candlestick amongst clean lines

the mix of chairs...

i could sit here all day, love.
