Not that we don’t love our cowhide… but I can’t get these rugs out of my head! I spotted that first one over on Junia’s blog and I’m obsessed. And the other one? Anthropologie has it, and every time I go in there I have to go “visit” the rug. I spend a minute or two just staring at it, imagining how awesome it would look in our apartment. Maybe someday when we have a bigger place… and, you know, $1000 lying around.

…from vacation, that is. Denver was on its best behavior for us. Clear sunny skies, awesome food, and mega fun times with the fam. It was Curt’s parents’ first time to Colorado and I think they kinda loved it!
I’m so excited to go to Denver next week to see my pregnant sis! She and her husband just moved into a cute little 1920s house and they’ve been super busy moving and getting everything ready, but the nursery is still completely bare. Heather and Michael are both really outdoorsy, so I’ve been doing a ton of research and finding inspiration pics for a “vintage outdoorsy” feel… lots of natural woods, soft earthy colors, and of course the bear print! These rooms are two of my favorites. I mean, I want to move into one of those rooms. All I know is Jonah is going to be one very lucky baby!

Had an 11-hour workday today, and right now all I want to do is take a soak in this tub. I love how dramatic the all-black bathroom is… I bet it would be kind of like a deprivation chamber. Which would be kind of awesome.

p.s. no clue where the image is from… it’s been in our home inspiration folder for a long, long time.
So yeah, Pendleton. I’ve been trying to incorporate some Native American (navajo rug)/Middle Eastern patterns (kilim) into our home for over a year now. I’ve just never found the colors I’m looking for at a price I’m willing to pay. Portland’s Pendleton Woolen Mills is prospering from the heritage brand revival taking place here in the states. This family owned mill has been producing wool blankets inspired by ancient Native American patterns for 140 years. Some of their patterns are really beautiful, and some are just a little too rustic for me, but that’s ok. Continue reading…
Hilda Grahnat of Forever Is Today has an awesome apartment in Sweden filled with beautiful vintage furniture that she has thrifted or received as hand-me-downs from her parents and grandparents. It sure dosen’t hurt that Hilda also happens to be an awesome photog. Ugh, Scandinavians and their epic eye for design. I wish American interior design didn’t commonly include NASCAR commemorative plates and La-Z-Boys. Wah Wah Wahhhhh…Check out more pics I lifted from Hilda’s blog after the jump: Continue reading…
We picked up these awesome wicker Mies van der Rohe MR Lounge Chairs from a cubism artist in Culver City this morning. He kindly gave us a quick tour of his wonderful 2 bedroom mid-c home filled with modern art and furniture, before we stole the chairs for $40 – for the pair! God bless Craigslist!!! I’m not totally sure if they are authentic and the seller wasn’t sure either, but he did do a lot of his collecting from estate sales which often increases your chances of legitimacy. Any tips on how to find out if it’s the real deal? Continue reading…
The walls of Pio Pio Restaurant in NYC have my creative juices flowing. Not exactly sure what I have in mind, but my mother can attest – I’ve always loved me a good stick. I’m thinking some kind of wall installation. Maybe the bedroom.
I ran into this beautiful blue and bamboo (blått & bambu) kitchen over on Elle Interiör. It’s all in Swedish, but you can still ogle the pretty pictures – which I pretty much do regardless of the language. Hey, at least now you know what blue is in Swedish: blått – I like that!
I would like to snuggle up in this room right about now. Maybe with some hot tea and a good book.
