I love light wood. These products are beautiful. -
floral, green and dried arrangements
I found these beautiful arrangements online. I like an alternative to a floral arrangement by using greenery and dried flowers. The last image is really beautiful using a vase to expose the roots and soil. -
dark exteriors
We're on the hunt for a country house somewhere upstate New York - a place we can get away to but not too far from the city. Very daunting for me since I've lived in a small apartment my entire adult life. Craig was born on the upper east side and has lived in our apartment since he was 3 years old! I love these small, cozy homes with dark exteriors. I would love to have a flat roof but definitely not happening in the northeast.

cozy fireplaces
It is totally freezing here in New York. These fireplaces both faux and real look super cozy. The last image reminds me of my Grandparent's home in Tennessee. They lived in the country and had an old stove similar to this in the middle of their living room and I believe it had a kettle on top too. -
school house electric
I just happened upon Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. Where have you been all my life? I'm in love with everything; specially this natural brass hardware and accessories line. -
place settings
a daily somethingI'm looking for new place settings. We love having friends and family for dinner and I'd like to have something nice I can go to every time. With young children at home, it's so much easier and more peaceful than eating out. I'm looking for something simple with an organic feel but with a tiny touch of glam. -

styling a home
One of the easiest ways to make an apartment or a house feel like a home is to style areas with things you love by grouping them together in a nice way. I do this on bookshelves, in the kitchen, on top of our piano, on top of our fireplace, etc. We spend a month or more every summer working in San Francisco. We're lucky enough to have rented the same home for years but it's still not our home. I always find a few tiny things I love that I can take back to New York and I'll display them on a table or a shelf somewhere. It always makes it feel a little more like home. -
wooden chairs
I've been writing this blog for about 4 months now. I have to say, I not only enjoy it but it's super helpful for me. I love a lot of things but I can never hardly ever nail down a decision when it comes to purchasing something for our home. I'm currently looking to buy a new side chair. I looked back at my blog and pinterest page for a little inspiration and noticed I had pinned or blogged about these chairs a kajillion times. Now which one... -
