you know you love a house tour when you look at it four times. jessie webster of the blog sweet things house in silverlake is really pretty perfect to me. and basically exactly what i want my place to look like. ( i have a few of the same items including the midnight farm cookbook – which made me love her house even more )
take a look…
so simple and effortless while being perfectly styled. LOVE. see the rest of the tour on designsponge.
i’ve been looking around for a bench for a big empty wall in our bedroom. the cats could sleep on it and / or we could stick the fan on it. here is some really good bench inspiration.
perfect bench, perfect styling i could never emulate. via old brand new.
hairpin legs feel like they’re everywhere. but they do look super good. ( one | two )
maria of hickory and juniper DIYed this very lovely vintage army cot.
i love this bench by the brick house made from reclaimed wood from her fence and eames LTR bases.

so yesterday i posted our kitchen. well, here is the other wall. we added EVEN MORE storage with this ikea billy bookcase with doors. its worked out pretty well because we keep all the ugly cooking stuff below. but there’s a big ol empty wall that’s been bothering me now.
not to mention the elbow height outlet. um why? why?!
i was thinking of a rail for pots and pans or some sort of pegboard ala julia child but that all sounds pretty clanky with the location of the fridge door.
maybe what it needs is… SOME CONTRAST!
you can see the wall from most of the living room, so i think a chalkboard wall would really pop in a nice way. and here is my deceivingly real chalkboard photoshopping.
now for some inspiration…

so go for it? don’t do it? cute? yes?
Even though I’m a [very unreligious] jew, I LOVE christmas! Not the jesus part or anything, but the tree and the stockings and all of it. The presents are fun too. I stupidly thought moving right before xmas would be ok because we’d have 10 days in the new place before to decorate up. But we have 10 days to unpack / decorate up. This might suck. So now I’m envious of all the lights I see outside of other apartments and houses. They all suck.
You know when you see someone decorate and you’re like “oh man you really went for it”? Well as much as I like decorating, I hate OVERdecorating. Here’s some decorating that probably took place prior to 10 days before the holiday but doesn’t look all xmas on crack like.
And please remind me never to move on December 15 again.
