spring-time camping

I pulled all these images off of Apartment Therapy...doesnt this just make you want to relax? I have an almost 2 year old who would LOVE hanging out with me in one of these! I don't think she would ever come out:-)...I might not either!

stripes

This came from apartmenttherapy...I really like these muted stripes. I did one large stripe at the top of my dining room and I just about lost my mind! Sometimes you don't realize how not level your house is when you start to draw a simple level line around the room! I might try this at the next place, in a smaller room, like this!

yellow curtains

This image has been stored in my computer for a while now. I just saw a post from Apartment Therapy with the tour this is apparently attached to. I love the scarf-like draped curtains here. I like the mini shutters too. I tried to find some to fit my bathroom window with no luck. Anyway, maybe the next house we move to might have a perfect spot for some sweet yellow curtains like these.

whoa

I am finally finished with my classes for this semester! Things are up in the air for the fall semester as I have agreed yet again to move. Every other week we are like "lets do it, no wait."

I am really not looking forward to packing up and moving, I love living in beautiful, historic Staunton, VA. Its just that I hate being apart from Chris, he can't stand it either. I'd like to have more babies so moving now as opposed to later would be ideal. Us living apart is a huge expense that could be sent towards the abyss of debt we are trying to pay down. So it makes sense. I just hate that I think I found the home I want and we are no where near listing ours. I better get busy! In the meantime, LOOK at this flippin' rug! I love it. There is more about it on Apartment Therapy's blog...check it out.

some kind of therapy

Ok, so first photo(both are from Apartment Therapy btw), I love how natural, modern and masculine this space is. I need to incorporate some of that feel into the house.



The photo above is ok I guess, not exactly my style but what got my attention is the chandelier hanging near the floor. I'd totally do that if I didn't have a wild monkey child getting into everything. Maybe I'll do that when I'm old and gray and my grandchildren will say, "Grandma finally lost it!" Its so cool, whatever...
