debbie carlos posters & prints
you may have seen some of her prints before – i have, but haven’t actually stumbled upon her etsy shop until now.
her photography is graphic, simple and so beautiful and i basically want everything she sells. except the soft serve cone print. my sweet tooth is WAY too intense to handle looking at it.

chalkboard kitchen wall
i posted about debating doing a chalkboard wall in the empty space in our kitchen. well, we did it and i love it. here is the before shot.
those damn eye sores of outlets at all heights of the wall are now a little more disguised ( we removed them and painted by hand ) and you can now see a little pop of contrast from the entrance of the apartment.
i must admit we haven’t written anything on there since we painted it. i went through all the chalk curing the thing. but when we get some chalk – oh man that wall is in for it.
+ please ignore the dying orchid. i guess heat waves and no AC is bad for orchids. fyi.
it took us a good three or four coats to get it less blotchy looking and it wasn’t until we cured it by rubbing chalk EVERYWHERE that it ended up looking right.

pretty pantry
if you’re like me, you always choose the best looking item in the grocery store. if you’re like my boyfriend, you actually care whether its good or not. lame.
i can vouch for a couple of these well designed pantry items, and the others… well they’re from reputable stores so they’ll be just fine AND look really good in your kitchen.

martha’s vineyard travel guide
it takes a long LONG time to get there, but once you’re on martha’s vineyard, you don’t want to leave. at least i don’t. the island has so much age and personality and just a general sense of amazing energy. hitchhiking is legal, no one locks their doors, no one dresses up, and everyone greets each other everywhere you go. not to mention you can eat seafood for every meal and hopefully see some of the best sunsets ever.
i’ve been going since i was a kid and i’ve never been on the island without fantasizing about what i would spend my days doing as a full time islander.
during my trip there, i compiled a guide to my favorite spots. (btw if you’re planning a trip, i recommend trying to avoid the peak summer weeks when it’s overrun with tourists and crowded everywhere. we always go in may or september)

my trip to martha’s vineyard
we’re sadly home from our vacation – feeling relaxed and reminiscent now.
it was a perfect trip (besides a lot of rain) full of R&R, sightseeing and seafood.
we look like we’re having the time of our lives in front of the east chop lighthouse.
and here i am having the time of my life on carousel. what else do you do on a carousel besides have the time of your life?
here are some snippets from our week. we met a lot of animals, saw a lot of water, ate too much, collected way too many rocks and seashells, and chilled quite a bit.
+ COME BACK TOMORROW for my travel guide to martha’s vineyard!
