dream house : the laundry room
todays dream house post is really gonna piss off my mom — she relishes in the fact that we come over every weekend for laundry and dinner, but we’re dreaming about having our own laundry. you laundry owners might forget what its like to stain something and have to wait until the next time you’re doing laundry to wash it, or what its like to have a pile of dirty dish rags waiting to be cleaned. omg, i can’t wait to have a washer and dryer again.
so here are some of my favorite simple and modern laundry rooms.
guh. so fresh and so clean. [image]
the copper and the sink and omg. [image]
proof that just a few little accents can give a lot of personality. [image]

DIY braided camera strap
even though i’ve already DIYed myself a camera strap, i wanted to do another one that felt a little lighter around my neck. so i made a new one and you can too! this strap took me about 15 minutes max, so you really have no excuse not to.

DIY recycled fabric covered notebooks
i make so many to-do lists. like daily ones, weekly ones, i have them scattered all over the place and even when i barely check off anything, i find myself feeling so much less stressed when i’m writing down everything i need to do, whether i do it or not. otherwise i’ll wake up in the middle of the night worrying about calling sirius radio before the renew my subscription at the un-discounted price.
another thing i have all over the house is bags full of clothes to donate. we have one so large in our bathroom that we can barely open the door, so i decided to scour a bag and use some of the retired old t-shirts to give them new life! don’t worry, there’s still plenty to donate. so with back to school time, i thought lining some notebooks in fabric would be fun for me, and be fun for you too. win win.

dream house : the mantle
i love a good fireplace, i mean it obviously makes a living room versus having like, a TV as the focal point. we have a fireplace in our apartment, but it doesn’t have a mantle. so that’s why i’m focusing on mantles in this dream house post! it seems like such a small thing to easily take for granted, but i’d love to have a spot for a couple of framed photos and a plant or 12. also, my mom got me way into mantle decorating for xmas, so obviously i’ve been hoping for a place to hang stockings.

love the clean and simple styling of this one. [image]
the long off-center floating wood mantle, so smart and it looks so dope. [image]
i mean, come on. [image]
more simple styling. [images : 1 / 2 / 3 / 4]
i couldn’t round up my favorite fireplaces without including ojai rancho inn. [image]
and lastly, this has to be my favorite fireplace of them all. i love the simple white with the simple wood ledge mantle. GUH. [image]
you have a mantle? do you find it easy or challenging to style? and do you rearrange often?

happy weekend
yay, friday. this one is bittersweet for me because i go back to my part time day job next week (we’ve been on hiatus for over a month). it’s probably a good thing for me because i’ve been driving myself a little insane with all the free time. well, i’ve been prank calling my dad daily, not sure if that’s insane or not. thoughts?
⋅ i’m always a sucker for these.
⋅ i told amy i’m ready to buy one of these from her stat.
⋅ ok hands down – my favorite video this month.
⋅ omg, this house. it’s tiny, but someone should definitely get it.
⋅ i feel like i want all the bags, but omg now i want this bag.
⋅ a great read on finding your own creative voice.
⋅ in case you have sirius radio …
⋅ love the vibe of this place (and all the wall hangings)
⋅ for all you almost mommies, i loved reading this.
