Bike Envy
We are moving in June to Alexandria (hopefully) and I would love to ride a bike to work everyday. This one in particular is calling to me. Maybe ’cause it matches the Mini. :)
Bold Pops of Color
I’m feeling bold and colorful today with the relaunch of the blog, and Carlos Miranda is doing nothing but egging me on. How rude.
I know you’ve enjoyed those photos, but did I mention I refreshed the blog? Oh I did? Well come to the site and check it out, I’m loving it! I’ve added categories up top for all my favorite areas and now that I see there aren’t many posts in each topic, maybe I’ll actually post more! :) I designed it myself, so I’d love to know what you think!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Posters by Jan Skacelik
Found a great little etsy shop today! Jan Skácelík of the Czech Republic runs a great little shop that carries wonderful mid-century modern inspired prints. I’ll let the prints speak for themselves.
Mid Century Modern Modernist Print
Stig Lindberg Bersa – Swedish Tea Time Print
As you can see, Jan is a talented designer and while I haven’t had a chance to totally dive into her blog just yet, it looks promising form the quick scroll I gave it. I’m definitely bookmarking her etsy shop and subscribing to her blog posts. :)
Updates in the Living Room
This space wasn’t horrible, at least not in this photo. But the table was way too big and the whole space felt a bit cramped! So we ended up getting the Smart Round Marble coffee table from CB2:
And it’s fitting quite nicely! Kira especially loves it, though normally she hangs out underneath of it.
But we had to show the table up and get something else. I’ve been watching craigslist every day waiting for the right moment to pounce and then BAM! There it was! I hustled to contact the seller, and after a few hours finally got in touch with him – but oh no! Someone else wanted it! I puppy-dog-eyed the boyfriend and we were on our way to swoop in and nab it. So I guess this is where I should say, if you are the other person that was interested in this:
I’m sorry.
I wanted something with plenty of storage, modern lines and maybe something that made it a bit different. I think these will do the trick.
I think the new coffee table and the new (old) tv unit will play nicely together..
What do you think? We are absolutely in love with the storage it’s giving us. Plenty of room to hide away the DVD player, DVR and Wii; hold all of the DVDs we never watch and the Wii games we have. Plus, since the new coffee table doesn’t have a place for storing remotes, we have those drawers at the top to wrangle all those odds and ends. :)
I’m quite excited. :)
Some New Things
We got this sweet pillow at the Crate and Barrel outlet in Alexandria — I love it because of the different colors — makes it easy to change things up. :)
Over the Holidays I was given this book — It’s been on my wishlist for awhile, it’s got a ton of eye-candy in it, maybe one day I’ll scan some photos of my favorite spaces. Makes me realize I need to get to the Mid-West or West coast in order to get the type of home I one day would like. Or, build it. Haha.
Finally, there’s this cute little candle I got at Target on a whim for only $6 last weekend. I love the pattern and the warm yellow glow. I’m going to be said when it burns out. :(
Any fun finds for you recently?
