…for the rest of my chalkboard paint.

eek! shelter pop did a little sneak peak featuring the newest decorating mag to hit the web, Rue Magazine, who’s co-founder happens to be one of my all-time favorite bloggers, Anne Sage (of City Sage fame). i’m so excited to see what happens when these talented girls collaborate… i think my head might explode at just the thought!

i’m heading to my grandparents house tonight to pick up a very special wedding present… two bertoia diamond lounge chairs that my grandparents bought in the 60′s. i was obsessed with them as a child, and that love was validated when i went to design school and fell head over heels with mid-century furniture. i have no doubt that they’ll be well loved in our home!

i’m a big fan of chalkboard paint. i even have a can of it ready to be applied to an old vintage frame (still trying to find the time to do that).
so naturally- i was gaga over these images from the anthropologie july catalog over a poppytalk. what a gorgeous way to add a little imagination to a room. take a look at the rest of the images over at poppytalk!
so, yeah. we’ve all seen this flippin’ ridiculous sneak peek at design*sponge today. i need that headboard, duvet, trunk, suitcase, and those amazing warehouse windows. to put it bluntly, i love everything that is going on here. and where can i get one of those awesome light bulb chandeliers? hey-nick, wanna make one for me? pretty, pretty please?
oh, and happy monday!
it’s a little drizzly in the twin cities today and i have to say, i really don’t mind it. the light gray sky makes everything so soft and monotone. so in honor of my favorite kind of day- a few things soft, sheer and lightly gray.

this is one of those homes that just makes my jaw drop because it’s original, relaxed, eclectic, cozy, lived in, and stylish all at once. and while i usually gravitate towards more polished spaces- this one speaks to my inner funk.
the design duo’s home in portland was shot for domino’s march 2007 issue and i’ve kept a little post-it note in my copy ever since. these images still resonate with me the same way they did 3 years ago, so i did a little internet scouring to find a few additional images of the space. i found a few gems on apartment therapy and i was thrilled to see the current state of the meyers home; same general aesthetic, with some very inspiring updates! check out the rest of their portfolio here.

for your home. and for your feet.
i’m seriously crushing on this living room. so feminine with the whimsy wall art, shiny robin’s egg blue floor, the mix of patterning, and classic furniture. not to mention the wallpaper is perfection!
loving these moody images from twig hutchinson…
