Decking the halls

I attempted to Christmassy-up my place yesterday...unfortunately that resulted in a lot of broken glass and a super amount of frustration. Many of the (breakable) items seen in these photos are no more, and will have to be replaced. Grrr. The small trees are unharmed, which means I can continue to photograph them obsessively from every conceivable angle.

Oh Deer

For the past week I have been positively obsessing over what to do with and how to "finish" this new apartment I'm in. Funny how moving into a new place makes you suddenly dissatisfied with the things you lived with in your last place. Or is that just me? Oh deer! Either way, I am loving this print, which I stumbled upon while searching for something new and fresh to replace some of the artwork from my old place that I seem to've grown tired of.

My Dream

Check out the restoration of this beautiful old farmhouse in New Jersey. A labor of love, for sure. Oh, how I would love to live in a grand old place like this one day.

The restored windows in the parlor are original to the house and open from the bottom.

Pretty House

These photos have me dreaming of my {future} farmhouse. I love the painted wooden floors.

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend

I'm laying low today, trying to keep cool.

If Ever I Leave This Place...

My next apartment absolutely *must* have hardwood floors and windows that allow lots of natural light. My current apartment has both of these, and so the only thing that could ever make me leave this place would be if I found a *bigger* apartment (with an actual bedroom) that is just as great as this tiny one is.
