A while back I had switched up some things in our living room and never got around to snapping some pictures. I wanted to make sure I took some since we’re now just a little over a week out from moving! Eeeee!!!!

Not huge changes, but I did switch out my black and white ikat drapes for some clean white ones. You can read more about my crazy cheap go-to drapes here. Removed my only colored pillow, and made it a little more earthy. Earthy?? I don’t know if that’s really what it is, it’s not like I’ve got a patchouli thing going on over here, but you get what I mean.

Anywho… here’s what we’ve got going on in here now. I’m feeling it much more.

I’ve not packed a thing up in preparation for this move. We’re literally just moving to the neighborhood across the street. It’s going to be a toss in the trunk thing for most of the little stuff. No sense in packing it up all carefully. Of course now that I’ve said that, I’ll end up breaking my non-breakable stuff on the way over. That’s just how it always is isn’t it 😉

I can smell the patchouli from here. 🙂

You know I'm a sucker for that photo wall. I'm gonna come steal your new staircase so I can do a GIANT one going up.

If you swapped out your couch and side chairs for ones that are ghetto and torn up, put green pillows and throws where your black and white ones are, that could be my house. Down to the old books and live plants. We definitely have similar decorating tastes.

I spy a basket that is possibly from Target?? I know this because everytime I walk in there I think about getting some. I envy how clean everything is!

west elm knock off | sculptural spheres

Here’s my little West Elm knock off tutorial I’ve been hinting at! I spotted these sculptural spheres in a West Elm catalog a while back and thought they were pretty darn cool. Just not at $70 for a the pair. For $7.00 I created my own! …

this and that

The kids are now both back in school! Izzy started last week and Sam this week. She stuck to the same story as last year, wanting to be a bunny vet when she grows up. She’s still obsessed with them. They’re a few of them that hang out in our front flower beds. We’ve told…

entry idea

The other day I was reading Holly Mathis’ blog and came across this image of an entry in a home she had just completed. I love the casual style. It gave me an idea for our entry, which I’ve been struggling with. The entry in this house is really long. There’s a longer wall that continues on…
