Gourd Collection

I recently purchased this amazing pitcher from West Elm's Gourd collection. It is a perfect addition to my white ceramics/porcelain pieces. I love to mix older, collectible vintage pieces with new modern ones. Its a streamlined look because they are all white and the various shapes compliment each other. Not only is this a great addition to my collection but is also on sale for about $10!

Mid-Century Monday

Some mid-century decor for Monday. Some inspired and some authentic.

Cute floor or outdoor cushion from Jack Wills. This would make a perfect throw pillow or to take to baseball game or picnic.

Here is an excellent vintage hardoy butterfly chair from Hindsvik. I realized that I had a vintage butterfly chair but it had been at my mom's house. So glad to have gone and picked it up. I am thinking of making a new cover for it if I can find just the right canvas for it.


Here is a reproduction igloo chair from CB2 and for only $129

I also love this teepee table, also from CB2

St. Pattys & Ikea

No better time to wear green than on St. Pattys! I wore this outfit out on St. Patrick's evening. The original dress/top must have had matching pants at one time, but I paired it with black cropped pants. The pants are from h&M. The dress/top is thrifted and my (in)famous black purse was purchased on eBay. I wore black peeptoe heels from Target.

And my dog, Doodle, was in the spirit (briefly). I tied a chiffon scarf on him and he was good for about 5 minutes before he started to try to bite it off.

I recently went to IKEA and fell in love with all the cool paper napkins they had. They are almost barkcloth-like prints. Here are a few from their site:

IKEA has some neat brightly colored striped rugs. I purchased one, but am thinking of getting another. It really brightened up my apartment! This photo is from apartmenttherapy.com (I had trouble finding the rug on the IKEA site).



Other than that IKEA was a bit empty since they are getting new merchandise in. I needed a few things but they had cleared out most of it. :( Hopefully, next time.

And lastly, a shot from my apartment window...
