planning

yesterday i went deep into the inspiration archives (pinterest) on one of my goals for 2018:

a beautiful yard. 

there is a lot of yard to work with. so i am taking it area by area. i'll be lucky to get through it all by october. 

 

here's a look at what's inspiring me. 

specifically- focal points, arches trained into tall shrubs creating tunnels, hellebores, ferns, paths made of stone or brick, wild flowers, roses climbing on things, a large outdoor dining spot. 

31 days and counting...

do you etsy?

i LOVE etsy. like hard, real love. call me by your name love. 

these items are staring back at me in my favorites..

 

 

french enamel plaque - just think this is cool. would be awesome mixed in with more traditional elements in an earthy modern room.

 

peel and stick tile decals - aren't they great? 

 

antique silk chinese throw - too rich for my blood. also my cats would destroy it but LOOK AT IT. 

 

moroccan sabra cactus pillow - such a pretty blue and a really good price. comes in other colors as well. 

 

8 vintage glass owl ornaments - how psyched would you be to pull these out next christmas?  

 

30 vintage french cake and tart molds - love the utilitarian vibe. would be cool as a wall display or just stacked on a shelf or with little tea lights inside for your next party, indoor or out. 

 

 

vintage pink embroidered pillowcase - how cute is this? in a little girl's room.

 

and finally....

 

stalking

do you follow the bible of british taste? i mean, i'd like to think i follow that bible in general. but i am referring to the instagram account with the same name. it's reeeeeal good. 

i'd buy the book.
