Elli Pop...

A little bit of heavenly inspiration from this designer Katja Behre of Elli Pop.  The colors and patterns of her designs just take you away into some sort of fantasy land.  She designs for fabrics, wallpapers, and even ceramics.  Her work is definately to be admired.








                           



Bon Voyage...

Since we booked our flights to visit Dominics family in Australia this winter, I have been keeping my eyes open for the perfect luggage.  I found a great deal on a fab carry on bag, but I am still in search for more fun bags.  The bag I already have is the black and white Tepper Jackson bag.  Here are some of my other finds.









...and lastly...here is the Passport Cover that I got from Bricolage in downtown Boise.  I got the little Dunce Boy version.  The artist is Emily Martin from the Black Apple.  Because, YES I am obsessed with her work.

Dreams in Black and White...

  Black and white combinations make me so happy...especially in stripe form.  A little inspiration.

Who Needs Money?...

  What a fun D.I.Y. project this was.  From the bedroom of Amanda Johnson.  It is so fun and quite easy to make.  You can pick your favorite quote, or just stick with this one that she chose.  I think it is such a sweet saying to put by your bed.

The Not So Permanent "Wallpaper"...



For the past year I have been thinking really hard about where I can incorporate some wallpaper into our new home.  If you have ever looked for wallpaper yourself, you know that it can be pretty expensive, and if you decide you don't want it on your walls anymore it is a pain to get off. 

Well... today I was talking to my friend at work and she told me about this really amazing thing she saw in Country Living over the weekend.  It is like a regular paint roller, but with a raised pattern design on it.  The end results are to die for and it is super affordable.  All you need is the roller from Rollerwall  and any color of paint yor heart desires.  My friend and I might even go in on the cost of one and share it, so we both can use it...BRILLIANT I say!

Every Girls Dream....

  A friend of mine sent me the link to this article on the N.Y. Times.  It is the most amazing little "fort" if you can even call it that.  The owner only spent $3,000 renovating and decorating this sweet little escape.  It is dripping with chandeliers, and it really does show yo that dreams can come true.
