some things I like...







I live in Virginia and last Friday we had the warmest day of the year so far, 80 degrees! I had every window I could pry open, open. I had the back door open and I had a giant rush of spring cleaning. I finally tackled my bedroom, I hung some curtains(finally), I swept it out and dealt with the piles of junk that accumulated there all winter long. We moved into this house in November and between the holidays and all the things that went wrong things are not very organized around here. So its nice to have my bedroom cleaned. Chris came home and said, "now we need to buy some paint!" I love that man...he knows just what I need to hear after making so much progress! Haha...

Anyway, I got some mail from our other house and a brand new West Elm catalog...I love the things above. I love the neo baroque plates, the baskets for more organizing, the pillows to put out on our back porch, and little votives to light it up. I want to put a couch or love seat back there and spend the warm evenings out there with Chris or curled up with a good book! I am so excited for spring! (all items are West Elm!)

west elm trays




I love these affordable and very cute trays from West Elm. I really love trays these days, they help me keep keys, earrings, change, etc. from getting lost, or eaten by my child! I need one for my bedside table...

accessible modern

I keep my catalogues for inspiration...this image below is from West Elm's fall catalogue. I love the soot/ash gray walls, bronze lamp, bright yellow papery flowers contrasting with the crisp pops of white...well done!
The tailored furniture and the cozy textures give this room a modern feel that isn't cold and empty...I like when modern is accessible!

in real life


So, this is the West Elm egg vase in my house! Notice its large size. I guess it had its dimensions on the website, but I didn't pay any attention, I thought it would be small. My husband, Chris, thinks it looks like a dinosaur egg. Anyway, I like it! Not bad for 7 bucks! This will not be its final resting place and I can't wait to put some fresh blooms in it...one of these days.
