Bantams



I really want to be an urban chicken farmer. Not really even a farmer - just a chicken mamma. I only need two sweet girls to lay eggs for me and allow me to pet their silky feathers. I'm not sure why I'm hesitant about it. I've been wanting to do this since last summer. I guess its the whole designing and creating of the coop, the cleaning of the coop and the worry that Jackson might eat them. I'm thinking of naming one Gertie, unless we get that Bernese MT. Dog puppy cuz we'll have to name her Gertie...
If it didn't work out they could always go to the farm.

New couch?

Thinking about a new couch - among many other things.

Jasper from R&B?



Or, Corona from Macy's?

Dear Ian,



This made me think of you. Oh how I miss being your cube buddy.

Fishs Eddy

Have so much house on the brain.
Love these things from Fishs Eddy.

Need new flatware and love the carnival glasses to add to my painted glass collection


Home Office

Right now the office is very grey, black and silver. Lots of metal and gigantic shelves and no color. I feel an anxiety attack coming on just thinking about it. When I finish a project, more often than not, wish I would have done it differently. Hopefully it will turn out nicely.

To ease my anxiety I've searched online for accessories of color. Now trying to decide what to do...

Definitely need to replace the light fixture. Can't hang it too far from the ceiling because Steve is rather tall. Found this one on sale at CB2.




I can brighten up the dark shelves with boxes like these from West Elm




Maybe an office chair like this. Although the yellow pendant might not work with this color. This chair also comes in white




We also wanted to put a reading chair in the room and I love these patterned ones from Target although I wish they had arms and I'll need a foot stool.




I love this rug from West Elm but they don't seem to make it anymore



maybe this brown would be better




I love those bauhaus lamps at west elm or maybe its CB2... but it would be way too big for that little room. I think this one instead.

Spring Lambs







Spring is here! New baby lambs at my mom's friend's farm.
I LOVE them all. Especially the dark one with blue eyes.

Illustration Love


I heart working with illustrators. Especially ones with adorable accents that make me forget that I work in Blaine.
Can't wait to see what Pomme comes up with.

A day full of Wants

I WANT

clockwise: a face like that, a shirt or jacket with sleeves like that, floors that glossy white in my bedroom like that, a dress like that and a reason to wear it, for weather to enjoy my backyard with paper cranes from the trees like that.
