Good vibes...

It's COLD!  My feet are freezing and I ran out of socks!  There's only one thing to do and it's not laundry.  Slippers here I come.

Got nothing to do this weekend?  Still looking for not so last minute Christmas gifts?  Come out to  Hurra!  see some art and do some shopping!

My favorites are these little ceramic ghosts...

ochre barn, archinspire

Every time I drive up to SF for the holidays I can't help but dreaming of building my dream house based on the barns I pass as I drive through Gilroy.  Yeah not so run down but still, a great place to start.

I may be a little late on this but I love these for a kids room, and the fact that they're made by ex-prisoners as a way to integrate them back into society ain't so bad either.

desire to inspire

Been gone too long.  This brought me back.  Wow.

Kitchen love.

commune, all for the mountain

Two very different, very awesome options for wall hooks in the new house.   One that appeals to the minimalist in me, the other's just fun, I mean who doesn't need a little bronze nipple bling in their life?

I realized I haven't shared anything having to do with my casa since I moved back in May, so here's a little peak.

I took down the ugly/falling apart/half painted upper cabinets in the kitchen and put up open shelving from Ikea (I'm just renting after all) and man oh man has it opened up the space.  I've also painted the dark brown lower cabinets a fresh white and am in the process of adding and changing a million other things, but more on that later.  

Having everything out in the open I noticed my all white dish collection could use a little darkening up so me and the man picked up a few new cups and bowls from Heath ceramics. Mmmm Heath love.

I love the white coup pieces I already have, but the house doesn't have a dishwasher yet and I drink a TON of tea so the black mugs make dealing with tea and coffee stains a thing of past yay!  I realize after writing that last sentence that I'm maybe a bit more domestic than I had perviously thought...
