The Admiral Up a Tree

Going to be missing this little guy's antics while we're in Iceland.

Over the Weekend: Skiing!!

Saturday was my second time skiing this year; my legs were super tired by noon, but the weather was so glorious, my wobbliness was easy to ignore. Lovely. So warm and sunny; it was the only time I've ever been completely warm while out on the slopes :)

Spending the day with Eric was pretty great, too.

Happy Valentine's Day

My husband is a sweetie pie. For Valentine's Day he got me a terrarium and a ton of chocolate. Does this guy know me or what?

Sitting in My Shopping Cart: Artwork

Right now, our living room is a big, white void. Even the warmth of our red wool rug isn't enough to keep it from feeling like the slightest sound would fill the room with echoes.

As a result, I have been on the hunt for things to hang, and be pretty, and to stop sound from bouncing around so much.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Grid Objects Silk-Screened Poster by Ben Kafton via Etsy:

Monotype Prints by Raina Gustafson via Etsy:

Fox Hunt by Becca Stadtlander:

Pointy Poster by Make Like:

Hemispherical Neighborhoods by Edu Barba via Etsy:

Constellation Chart from Agent Gallery Chicago (I've been in love with this forever and the fact that it comes with its own hanging device is quite handy):

Tiger Says Meow by RK Design:

Himmeli Mobiles (L is plastic straws, R is brass; I actually tried to make one of these once, but the cat ended up eating it before I could finish):

Modern Wood Clock by Uncommon via Etsy:

Line-as-Pattern Planter by Half Light Honey Studio (love, love, love!):

Over the Weekend: Little Changes

A while back I ordered some new drawer pulls for the little dresser we have in the dining room; they arrived last week and Eric installed them this weekend. I really like them. They look much better than the cheap plastic-y ones that were on there before.

Eric also let me get another plant. It's a fiddle leaf fig. 

I'm thrilled with it! I've been looking for one for a while, but none of the plant stores on our side of town had one. We finally made it up to Gainan's in the heights and voila! They had a couple! And they were on sale! So gorgeous. I think I need to get a stool for it to sit on, though; right now it's a bit hidden behind our couch and I want everyone to see it the instant they walk through the door. :)

The Admiral...

...isn't always terrifying; sometimes he snuggles....

Happy Friday

It's finally Friday, dear people.

This week has been really busy, but I hope next week to share  some of the artwork I've been looking at for our walls as well as a few of our plans for Iceland. Our trip is coming up soon!

Enjoy the weekend!

Weekend: Lighting

Our living room now has a ceiling light!

It's not exactly what I wanted (it kind of blends into the ceiling), but I much prefer it to the hole that was there before. 

Light!
