Kitchen Coincidence

The other day, I was watching the Sandlot, absorbed in nostalgia, and loving their adorable house. I mean how cute is this?



But when it came to the black eye scene, I had to do a double take because by complete coincidence, I have almost the same things in my kitchen! Must be some old subconscious memories influencing my purchasing decisions 😅

Mad Men Makeover Pt. 2

I redecorated my "Mad Men" inspired bedroom a little bit recently. The walls are still based on Joan's apartment, but I changed up the comforter and curtains, added a Philodendron (that we named Dapper Dan) and found this amazing accent pillow at Walmart that matched the wall color.

I really love our Broyhill Brasilia set. We have a night stand, bed frame and dresser. Recently, I saw a single night stand for sale at Brasilia Connection for about $600 😳 which is insane, but apparently they are very rare. I'm lucky to have the pieces I have!

Both the photos I pictured are of my mom's parents; one on their wedding day and one a couple decades later. They have always been one of my favorite couples!

I still have to figure out what I'm going to do for the other night stand and I hope Dapper Dan grows more so I can set him on the floor and not on a chair, but other than that I'm pretty happy with the way things are coming along! I think Joan would be proud 😉

Target's Mid-Century Style

I am obsessed with Target's Project 62 brand. So mid century! And SO much more affordable than brands like West Elm or Room & Board. I just read that it got the name from the year 1962, when modernist design really became popular, and the year that Target was born. I think it definitely captures that mid-century vibe with a little bit of a twist that is just perfect. Here are a few of my favorites!

West Elm Midcentury Lamps

Currently drooling over these midcentury style lamps at West Elm. They're called Roar + Rabbit Ceramic Table Lamp, White, Tall. And currently on sale for 20% off. They would go great in our living room. Now just have to check that pesky budget...

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

Earlier this year, we had zero Christmas decorations since this is our first Christmas in our own home. But thanks to my Granny and a tinsel tree from ebay, we are at least now off to a good start! ;) 

We Bought A House!

This announcement is a little late...but this past March we bought a house! It's a 1959 brick facade with a fully finished basement. It's really well built and I am having a lot of fun decorating. So far, we have the living room down but there are lots of exciting plans for the rest! More updates to come ;)

House-tile-ish

So I am moving into a new apartment soon, yay! I'm really excited because it's in a great area near a park with the cutest market right down the street — it feels like I've been warped in a time machine every time I go in there. I am going to have two small bedrooms (...with doors! An upgrade from my current abode, haha!), a tiny but cozy kitchen, tiled bathroom, central heat/AC, and tons of closet space. The complex was built in the 50's and each building has its own unique characteristics, style, and layout. Being as I will be moving soon, I've been looking at ideas on how to decorate my new space! And I thought I would share some of the cool inspirations I've found—here they are!
