I'm loving the brown & black combos,  pretty gallery walls and unique furniture in these pictures. I want a dreamy, loungey and interesting living room. I want combinations of feminine and masculine. I like classy mixed with rustic.

Finding the motivation to decorate and hang more things up has been very hard in the past. It's too easy to come home from work and flop on the couch or spend the entire weekend cleaning the house. But it's driving me nuts not having my home how I want it! My next big project to tackle is our living room. We bought out couches second hand and they aren't really my taste, but they're ok.  Also, our previous living room was about 12x12 and our current is about 25X30 so we've gained a TON of space.

I've picked up quite a few neat things (wire baskets, cool industrial letters, a few prints) that will look awesome. Time to get to hanging  and organizing things! I definitely need to get a few awesome pieces of art still.

What is your idea of a perfect living room?

Happy Friday guys!

We have two bathrooms in our new place (insert happy dance). Since my boyfriend and I moved into together we've always shared one bathroom between the 3 of us. Talk about crowded. With a little boy's bath toys and my boyfriends extensive collection of hair gel and cologne, and we haven't even started on my hair products etc... it was a disaster. We're planning renovations on BOTH bathrooms eventually but one of them is in immediate need of updating. We're talking, sheet rock only walls in the shower that are beginning to crumble and counter tops and a sink from the 60's. I'm all for vintage charm, but this is just old and outdated. Right now, we are mostly using what is technically the master bathroom and slowly making changes to the guest/Conrad's bathroom. In a perfect world I would have a clawfoot or garden tub and a separate shower. We'll see if that happens.

Here's a bit of my inspiration for the guest/Conrad's bathroom.  I'm really hoping to give it some pretty bright tile on the wall and maybe the floor. I'm also leaning towards a pretty wood pattern for the floor. Both of our bathrooms are fairly small so I don't think it would be too big of a project. What do you think? Have any tips? I'm really scared to to be tackling my first ever home reno project... thank goodness my brother is a plumber in case any disasters arrise! haha

happy weekend everyone!

If you follow my blog at all you might recall us finally buying a house and moving in a little over a month ago. For the most part we are unpacked but things are not exactly where they need to be yet. I've been strugglinh with doing a little here and a little there but at the end of the day it felt and looked like I had gotten absolutely nothing done. So, I decided to take it one room at a time because, basically, I get discouraged if I don't see progress or a finished project.  So this past weekend I tackled the most cluttered room in the house, my son's room. I organized his toys and books into bins and boxes. Sifted through clothes that didn't fit or get worn. Now we can finally get things like rugs, shelves etc.. Here are a few images I'm in love with that I hope to use as inspiration for my little Conrad's room. (I'm in love with silly, goofy animal art prints in particular!)
