This room is so soft & relaxing. The wall treatment & dark light fixture help add some contrast to all those neutrals! I love the blue accents and of course the duvet! (I love mine--in a different color)

I'm really liking round tables lately, too bad my dining room is way too small to attempt that...unless you know I wanted a two seater cocktail table, but lets face it, that's not very practical. bummer.

I've also always wanted a ladder in my house...of course that would mean there needs to be shelves high enough that a ladder is necessary! I'll just keep dreaming about that one :)

Progress...

I purchased 2 more packs of ring clips to try and improve the curtain situation in the living room...

I think it looks a WHOLE lot better now that they're all hung the same way...but it created another problem...there's curtains that are purposefully too long to look wonderful, and then there's curtains that are too long and look retarded. I think you know which one this is...

Guess I just created another sewing project for myself. Hmm...we'll see how brave I am...

But from the top...much better! that is if you can handle my "quick take a picture with my phone as I run out the door" pictures. Yeah, sorry bout that.

I think this room is so cool. The patterned flooring may be a bit much for my taste, but I love the beds! How fun would it be to sleep in those? And pull the curtains shut? It'd be like sleeping in a fort all the time! Plus the view? Yeah I'm thinking I should find out where this room is and move in!

Isn't this kitchen beautiful? And so functional!!

a thoughtful place

I did it!!

Sorry for the bad pictures, it is ridiculously difficult to get good shots while facing a sun-filled window! But I couldn't wait any longer to take some.

For now they're operating as purely decorative, and I might add they make my window look much bigger! Never a bad thing, I'm thinking. Hopefully someday they'll get to have the spotlight to themselves but for now they're enjoying backing up their friends--the white curtains :)

And I must say I definitely love the ring clips. Not only does it require no sewing for the top, but I love the way it looks...I might have to adjust the other curtains so they can have ring clips too! (plus I think that'd go a long way in making this look more cohesive...the differences in how they're hung is kind of driving my type A personality crazy!)
