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.

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??

looking forward

bf and i are headed to europe in may, and i could not be more excited, and ready for a vacation.

we have rented this houseboat on the prinsengracht canal for 5 nights

and we will be renting bikes to get around, how very dutch.

this is the apartment in barcelona where we are staying over my 35th birthday.

from here we head to ibiza for a few nights to stay with bf's uncle, more updates as they warrant

iceland photography

in researching our trip to europe next summer i stumbled upon this beautiful compilation of photos of iceland. 

caution: these are incredibly amazing and outrageous, proceed at your own risk.

all images by various photographers and found here
