I started using Instagram recently and LOVE it. Not sure why I resisted for so long. Here's a look of our last few weeks, enjoying December + preparing for the holidays ...
I also just found instagrid, where you can see instagram photos online. Handy.
Wishing you the happiest of holidays. I'm taking a break until the New Year ... and one of my new year's resolutions is to be better about blogging. See you [more often] 2012! xoxo

Have you seen this shop, Industry West? Its new to me. They make really great looking industrial furnite ... at very reasonable prices ...
Loving the stools + the pop of color. Has anyone ordered from them? If yes, thoughts?

Its no secret that I LOVE Christmas. Its my favorite holiday + has been come that much more with Ike, our 4-year-old. I love the whole process of finding gifts, wrapping them + giving them. I usually go much more simple + monocromatic with our wrapping but this year I've been inspired by color ...
Its quite cheerful, especially on COLD days like today. How are you wrapping your gifts this year?

Love everything about this photo ... the old, big maps, the chunky bench + the dark floors ...
I have a new home decorating strategy. Focus on one little area of our house + only move onto the next once its done [my previous strategy of doing a bit here + there was getting me nowhere]. First up is our entryway [small + manageable] + I've bookmarked this photo as a little inspiration.

I've decided I'm definitely going for a modern, organic + very simple Christmas ...
This post over at the lovely City Sage helped me to realize this. I think this approach is mostly to help me to focus, simplify things + really enjoy this time of year. :]

We had a quiet but lovely father's day. To enjoy the day, husb went on a long cycling ride with his buddies + I cooked up some of his favorites...Lobster, steak, his fav biscuits and a few other things [he's a huge eater - especially after cycling 50+ miles]. I was going to try to make this cake but ended up getting our favorite eclairs. Little one ended his meal with his favorites too -- cupcakes + corn. As you can see, he was happy. :]
Hope you had a lovely father's day too.

Got this letterpress prints by Satsuma + Yoo-ii ...
Can't wait to get. I think they will be perfect in our living room.

Like many others I've been a long-time fan of Mrs Meyers. Not until recently did I realize they had baby products [am I completely late on this?] ...
Well, I love everything I've used so far + wish I had discovered it sooner. The wipes + hand soap are my favorite. I think a big basket of these would make a great gift [not the most exciting, but practical, + I would like it!:]

I have a hard time committing to things of the permanent nature [e.g. wallpaper, paint, wall art, even curtains] when it comes to home decor. I like the idea of a chalkboard wall [as some of you know, I'm obsessed with all things chalkboard] but painting a wall is a bit overwhelming + such a huge commitment for me, at least for now. So, I'm super excited to have found these ...
Chalkboard decals!! I'm all over these.
These will be good to help me organize. I'm getting busier + busier with my little shop + custom orders so I need something to help me stay on top of things. I think this is it!

I've made some progress on decorating the little one's playroom. I came up with a couple of simple posters that I framed + also framed a custom illustration that I ordered from the talented Rachel of Elephantine ...
I just love how Rachel's illustration came out. I also made one of these with the same fabric. Now, I [meaning hubby] just need to hang everything.
