dream house : bathroom vanity
now that we’re settling into the new house, i’m already looking around and obsessing about the things i want to change. we have two bathrooms and they’re both in need of facelifts, but luckily they’re both pretty large in size and could easily accommodate double sinks (which is something i’ve always fantasized about… i don’t have to get annoyed when i see husband beard hair and husband toothpaste remnants).
i’ve already been researching tiles, sconces, sinks, vanities — and i’ve noticed how insanely expensive sink vanities are, and even more importantly, how few are really that pretty like the ones i see on pinterest, maybe because the best ones are custom made (i do really love the price and look of this ikea sink cabinet though). anyway, here are my favorites.

DIY mudcloth napkins
i think you guys are fully aware how much i love mud cloth. i finally scored an authentic mudcloth tapestry at a flea market in paris, but now that the holidays are around the corner, i’ve been wanting to incorporate some into our holiday table because they add so much character to some otherwise plain napkins.Read More

happy weekend
FRIDAY! we all made it. sorry for the sporadic posting as of late, but i’ve been so nuts trying to pack everything up and plan all the things and well — we move tomorrow! i am soooo ready. i shared this photo on instagram of my future studio! it’s a shed in the backyard that is in need of some updating (insulating, drywall, new floors, and i want to install a skylight and an AC unit) but i’m gonna focus on it first to get it all ready to be a proper place to work. i am so stoked. i’m going to share a house tour asap with you guys!
and lastly, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

all things pretty : office supplies
you may have seen a tiny little glimpse of my future studio in the new house on instagram. there is a ton to do before being able to actually work in there — i have to insulate half of it, dry wall, redo the floors, and i’m considering adding a skylight and an additional window for more light. it might be a bit of a process but i’m hoping to focus on it first so we can get it ready asap.

DIY speckled nesting bowls
maybe it’s just me – but i can’t enough little bowls. i use them for corralling jewelry, i use a couple as pinch bowls in the kitchen, i use them for sage smudging, i use them basically.
so i wanted to make a set of “ceramic” bowls for rings and bracelets — and it’s super easy.Read More

dream house : marble counters
like probably everyone else in the world, i loooove marble kitchen countertops — i’ve always kind of hoped my future dream kitchen would have them. now that we’re talking about what we want to do to our real future kitchen, we’re thinking marble is not the way to go — as we’re pretty rough in the kitchen and we just don’t think they’ll be durable enough for us. so instead i’m rounding them up to just swoon over what won’t be.

spooky spiked shirleys
i’m getting super festive today! even though i think we’re just gonna be handing out candy after our move this year, i love celebrating halloween — and i’m way more into the creepy stuff than the orange and black.
so in the spirit of creepy – i wanted to make a fun cocktail that will not only creep out your guests, but probably gross them out too. because these things are pretty messy, but they look cool and bloody! i decided to make spiked shirley temples because they’re red and because i still have a deep love for them from childhood.
SPOOKY SPIKED SHIRLEYS
grenadine
vodka
lemon lime soda
corn syrup
red food coloring01. in a bowl, mix together the corn syrup with a couple drops of food coloring. dip your glass into the bowl and let a little excess spill off before turning your glass right side up.
02. stick the glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
03. in a cocktail shaker, mix together 2/3 cup soda, 1/4 cup vodka and a dash of grenadine. pull your glasses out of the freezer, pour over ice.
