Happy Spring!

Yesterday I had little time to do a Blog-crawl, saw lots of inspiring stories, beautiful photography and amazing fashion.

So, I share this bright and cheerful image with you, straight from the blog House of Philia (Sweden), in the hopes that Petra's photography will inspire you to straighten up you house and let the Spring in! I'm inspired, and will dig in to fix up my orchids today :)

New on the Virtual Newsstand...

Does a magazine cover get any prettier than this? Don't you just want to jump right in?

A new Lonny Magazine is just what I needed, now I just need to carve out a little time, perhaps over the weekend :)

Kelly Green

I have been sitting on this image for a little while now, but with spring (cleaning?) just around the corner, I figured I would share this simple DIY idea!

Sprucing up your hallway console table has never been easier, and a pop of color goes a
L O N G  way!! This Kelly Green lamp is a perfect accent and with its glossy finish, brightens up the space so well, don't you think? The shade has been modified ever so slightly with a green ribbon, so easy to do! All you need is ribbon, glue gun / tape, a steady hand and voila, the shade has been customized to your space! Great and easy project for the weekend!!

This is the lamp used in the above image, in it's original state, with a smaller shade. You could buy a separate and larger shade, depending on the space you are working with, this shade might be a little too narrow, but if it fits, just work with it the same way.

This vibrant lamp is from Crate & Barrel, the name on of the lamp is Kelly (how appropriate!), you can buy it here, it's even ON SALE at the moment...

Happy spring!

Secret Stash

Today was the most gorgeous day!! Hardly any humidity, sunny, slight breeze..... I was fortunate to have the day off, so I was able to take it all in. The last couple of weeks have been cold and not very spring-y.

Today I opened all the windows, watered my orchids, went for a long walk... and painted my nails pink ;).



I have been loving this Essie color for over a year now, it makes me HAPPY!
