When we decided to move into our new apartment 2 years ago, we also replaced most of our “student living” furniture (aka IKEA) and made a few investments, including our current bed. Admittedly, it did take a bit of persuasion on Mike’s part, because I simply didn’t get why anyone would spend the price of…
Just 2 days ago, I found out that there is such a thing as international “happy day” (March 20th). As a person who generally thinks that life is much more worth while when you’re happy, I will obviously make it a celebration from now on! But really, what makes us happy? Being healthy and having…
It’s no secret that I am a huge candle lover (remember this post?) and I always have some around. Whether it is the coffee table, nightstand or in the entry way. Candles smell amazing and are pretty eye-catchers as decorative objects. When I heard about candelabox, a candle subscription, my heart basically stopped! You can subscribe…
I feel that any time you come home after a long trip, you appreciate your surroundings a bit more than before you left. Personally, I love the feeling of the first breakfast back home, visiting your favorite flower shop again, grabbing coffee on a lazy Sunday and watching the sun set over a beautiful skyline,…
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to make a few small changes for our living room. As you know I ADORE my patterned pillows, but for winter I wanted something a little less colorful and cozier. I didn’t really make any big changes, all I did was add a super soft sheep…
As you guys know, I have a major weakness for home decor and everything that goes along with it. We’re just finally settling in the new apartment (after a year) and I am already dreaming of completely starting over. Don’t get me wrong, I adore our home & the way it looks – but it…
Even though we’re pretty well on our way in terms of the apartment being completely decorated (I am actually sad that I don’t have an excuse to constantly browse the online stores for new items anymore …), there is still one major challenge that needs to be tackled: LAMPS!!
Our new dining area is finally coming together (see the old version HERE) and I couldn’t be happier with the way everything has turned out. From the very beginning, my vision was to have something light and airy, that would make the space seem bigger than it actually is. Naturally, this did not work very…
I wanted to give you guys a quick update of our current “pillow situation”. I’ve been collecting different patterned pillows over the last year and I really love the mix I currently have going on in our bedroom. The combination of the different blues, paired with the gold quilt reminds me of beachy days and…
By now, most of you have probably already discovered The Daily Dose, since we went live on Thursday morning. These past 2 days have been so overwhelming with A TON of positive feedback, for which Kathi and I are soo thankful! For those of you that haven’t seen the site yet, here’s a small teaser…
