A Pop of Color

Lately, I’ve been craving black + white everything. I ordered this Tipped Boy Shirt online from J. Crew, + I fell in love with it the minute I tried it on. I ordered these three black and white prints for the study, only own online white + black picture frames, and registered for only white serving ware. I love the simplicity of it all, but I am very aware that with some much white + black, you need a pop of color. Enter Garance Dore’s Perfect Friends print. I so, so love it. I’m saving up to add this to our study gallery wall. All of her illustrations are gorgeous.

Thanks a Latte

Sasha’s sister, aunt and cousin threw me the best shower this Saturday. I had such a great time, and got so many Crate and Barrel packages I don’t know what to do with myself! I spent yesterday writing all 41 ‘thank you’ cards with my new Shutterfly stationery (best discounts ever). I wanted to do a themed hostess gift, and given my love of all things coffee, I decided to go with ‘Thanks a Latte.’ I had way too much fun putting these together! I cannot wait to come up with the next hostess gift. Images and links are below.

Pretty Little Things

Bryan texted me last night and said, “The house is starting to look like a home.” It was a small statement, but the sentiment was huge. I feel the same way! All of the little touches are coming together and although Sasha and I have agreed not to nail anything into the walls for another few weeks (I’m beginning to cave), we have ordered a few prints and I’m leaning them on the walls for now. I move out of my apartment in two weeks (seriously depressed – I’ve absolutely had the best year of my life living with McKenzie), and back into my parents – with the exception of my furniture, which will go into The Manor. A busy few weeks ahead! I’ll keep you all posted as always.

1) Furbish Studio Feather Print I, 2) Three French Prints from One Love Studio on Etsy, 3) New Moroccan print rug for the Master room (awaiting rug pad, which is why it’s not flat!), 4) Our second Maxwell couch from Restoration Hardware arrived!, 5) Constant supply of yellow tulips for the very yellow kitchen, 6) Finally filling out the bookshelves with real books (slowly but surely)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Sasha and I are having a very low-key Valentine’s Day, which we were both in favor of, given the hustle and bustle of everyday. I got him a very small gift from Etsy (an inside joke) and a card (not featured below). I did some thorough research before getting his card, as anyone who knows me is aware I love, love, love paper. Below are the close contenders. Hope you have a lovely, romantic day – whether or not you are sharing it with anyone but yourself!

Wedding Welcome Bags

I was recently flipping through Martha Stewart Wedding’s Destination Weddings magazine when I realized I don’t know what we’re going to put in the welcome bags in our guest’s hotel rooms. Granted, we have five months to decide, but I know the time will fly by, so I’m trying to make big decisions as early as possible. For inspiration, I scoured Etsy, asked friends who had recently gotten married for ideas, and racked my brain for Napa-inspired gifts. I created an assortment of ideas below – we definitely won’t put all of these treats in there, but hopefully our guests will love their hospitality bags anyway!
