Awning Stripes

My favorite go-to fabric has always been a bold awning striped fabric. It's great indoor and out.

 Summer is just around the corner, and I thought I would get some ideas rolling for accessories that could transform your space into a summer get away.

Summer, we're ready when you are!! 

bizarre wood flooring

Looking for something unique for your floors? Check out these awesomely unusual wood floors by Bolefloor. They are a company out of the Netherlands that specialize in natural curved boards which creates a great rustic or organic feel to a space that would be sure to make a statement. I love their slogan, "Life is not a straight line" I think that says it best.

Typewriters

It's funny how the typewriter is now an unusable decoration item, can you imagine 100 years from now decorating our homes with old computers! At least the typewriter is cool looking and works amazingly with a vintage display. Here are some examples of the typewriter featured in the home.

I love that show!

Leather Satchels

Ever since I interned for Susan, the leather queen, I've been having a strange relationship with my fake leather bag. As much as I love it, I can't say No to leather any longer. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these delicious leather bags this spring.

Milk Glass

 Vintage milk glass is inexpensive, you can find it anywhere, and it brings a bright, spring time feel into your space. I love the idea of using milk glass in a centerpiece, or displayed on a shelf. Here are some cute ways to make use of your Grandmother's milk glass. =)

Houndstooth

I recently ate at Bambara in Downtown Salt Lake with my family and I could not believe their amazing, large print houndstooth upholstered seating. Ok, so this may have been the only reason I wanted to eat there, but the food was good too.

Here are some other great houndstooth upholstery.

New Pictures!

I got my Graduation/ Portfolio pictures taken by Rick Westmoreland last week. He is currently building his portfolio, so now would be a good time to contact him for a good deal. 

These were some of my favs. I'm excited to update my blog picture with one of these. Which one do you think I should use?
