Serenity

How fabulously cozy is this little bungalow?
I’m in love with everything about this porch. The colors are so inviting and I just love the wooden side shingles, it gives it a bit of a rustic feel without being too “rustic”. The couch and arm chair are perfectly vintage and the two round tables are a unique touch. My favorite part to this room are the lamps (with their robin’s egg blue stems) and the curtains in my current favorite color: peachy salmon pink. I can just picture reading the latest bestseller snuggled up under a blanket listening to a little Mozart for Your Mind.
Pure serenity. *sigh*.

rugs aplenty…

Just browsing the Garnet Hill catalog today. I get one in the mail at least once a week and I don’t think I’ve ever even bought anything from them (besides my amazing PJ’s, but I got those at the outlet). I do love looking through the catalog though, the clothes look so comfy and I adore the bedding. Today I discovered they have so many rugs in beautiful patterns and colors. I love how these rugs just light up a room, they are so fun and playful.

Here are some of my favorites:

Knobs Galore.

I’ve been really into taking the old knobs off my dresser drawers and replacing them with these fun ones from anthropologie. They make the dressers look SO adorable, unique, and vintage.
Here are some other pretty ones…
LOVE.

OAK: Handmade Clothing & Gifts

I stumbled upon a really adorable store today on Newbury Street– Oak: Handmade Clothing and Gifts. It’s located between Fairfield and Gloucester Streets and has really fun Etsy-like stuff. Totally great for gift giving. Or self giving. I was in love the second I walked in. If I owned a store, I would want it to be like this one.
SO fun.


It’s busy, but in a good way. Like a “everything is so precious I wish I had more money” kind of way. Handmade gifts by REAL people like you and me. Except I can’t make this kind of stuff. I only wish I could.

Don’t you just love these little sock monkeys? I do.
