Weekend Reading




Happy Friday! It is hard to believe this is the last day of February. Looking forward to a weekend of skiing at our local resort, snowshoeing here, and hanging out by the fire. Spring skiing {during March & April in Colorado}, with the warm sunshine & bluebird skies, is my favorite time to be on the slopes. I hope you have a great weekend doing something you enjoy!


Here is what caught my eye this week:

This simple dinner James made looks yummy! It's going to be our Sunday supper this weekend.

Have you heard about Stikwood? Peel & stick REAL wood. Pure genius!

Pantry items that double as cleaning tools. Yes, please.

I want to stay here.

Quite possibly the cutest puppy. Ever. {Besides my dog, of course.}

These gluten free mini polenta pizzas would be perfect to serve at your Oscars party. Or at any party for that matter.

I really want a clawfoot bathtub. This one would do.

Lacquered plywood floors. Food for thought.

If you like cozy homes, adorable kiddos, comfort food, lovely photos, Portland and crocheting/knitting/sewing, please read Alicia's blog. {Be prepared to spend a few hours with this blog! She's brought me to tears multiple times. In a good way.}


** The photo above is my view looking east to the foothills. This was a warm, hazy evening at our house. Wait till you see the snow-capped mountain views we have!

I like using objects for color palette inspiration. This fantastic combination of vibrant gypsy crystal stone colors would brighten any home or wardrobe, especially for Spring / Summer. Don't you L O V E that bikini & the Rebecca Minkoff stackable rings?! They are on my shopping list...

Where do you find color inspiration?

Mid-Week Inspiration for You...

A little mid-week inspiration for you. It sounds so easy to do, but we don't always make time for doing the things that genuinely make us happy. Take time to dream, create & learn this week. You owe it to yourself!

Jump for Joy!


via

Sorry to keep you waiting... I'm F I N A L L Y putting the finishing touches on the blog design and my editorial calendar {insert 'Jump for Joy!'}. Due to my perfectionist tendencies, I'm trying to be organized & get this setup right the first time around {is that even possible?!}, so I can focus on delivering content you will look forward to and be inspired by. In the meantime, what types of content do you like to read about? Fashion, food, decorating, travel, health/diet, life in general? Leave a comment below to share; I would love to incorporate your ideas into this blog! See you soon.
