DIY Sailor's Knot

I just stumbled across this DIY via Design*Sponge and about fell out of my chair. How wonderfully perfect is this? I have been debating ordering this knot doorstop, but now I might just make my own instead!

Scrapwood Wallpaper

I am absolutely in love with this scrapwood wallpaper by Piet Hein Eek. I cannot wait until I have a house to put some in! Or maybe even incorporate it into the wedding somehow... hmmmmm... Either way, it shall be mine!

Lonny Magazine

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Well, I have a problem -- I am addicted to discovering beautiful digital magzines. And oh baby, have I found a good one. I'm obsessing over Lonny Magazine right now. Ob. Sessing. Seriously, it is just plain fantastic.

Paper Garland

So this year I got a little crafty with our Christmas decorations. I made this garland out of gold and silver paper, a rubber stamp, a 1.5" hole punch, fishing line and a hot glue gun. Here are my little how-to pictures for some lovely and super easy DIY garland! Merry Christmas!

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy reindeer

I'm really into reindeer and moose decor pieces right now. They are just super festive and add so much interest to a room. Holidays or everyday, I'm lovin' the antlers. These are some of my faves.

Cinco de Marriage-O

Fact: We are getting married on May 7th. Fact: We are going to the beach a few days before the wedding to plan, play and party. Also, fact: The Thursday before our wedding is CINCO DE MAYO, which in turn means CINCO DE MAYO PARTY!!!! And my planning of said fiesta begins with one of these fan-freaking-tastic pinatas.

Oh, and this garland. FAB.

Found courtesy of A Cup of Jo! (Of course.)

This tree needs you

I have a very strong affection for the Charlie Brown holiday series. A Charlie Brown Christmas still makes me cry every time. Every time. So when I found this little guy at Urban Outfitters, I had to buy it immediately.

Of course, I had to add my own touches.. :)

An Anthropologie Christmas

I can't lie. I am SO in the Christmas spirit and it's not even Thanksgiving. I'm doing a little DIY Christmas decor this year and these Anthropologie ornaments are definitely inspriring me.

Feeling crafty.. and I like it.

Stopped by my favorite and my Sailor's least favorite store yesterday, good 'ol Hobby Lobby! Picked up a $3 twig wreath, some faux leaves and this Happy Thanksgiving sign for half off. I love how everything is always on sale there. A hot glue gun, some wire and a couple of Glee episodes later, this was my creation.. It makes me love our front door so!

My plates have arrived!

My vintage US Navy plates from Etsy were waiting on my doorstep when we came home this weekend! I am already imagining dinner parties! :)




I may be a huge nerd, but the fact that these plates were actually created for the midshipmen of the US Navy to eat on during during WWII is just SO cool to me.

My Sparrow

Just discovered My Sparrow courtesy of A Cup of Jo and I absolutely adore their inspired and eco-friendly home decor!
