Friday Favorites.....three one five

Posted by Christina // 6 Replies

Is it Friday?
Being on vacation has me so thrown off.

Being on vacation has also reignited my love for home.
To celebrate this great state in the middle of nowhere, I started looking for art and accessories to represent. I found oodles… 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10

Here’s what else I found this week… How tasty do those grapes look? I haven’t made them yet but the flavor combination sounds incredible. I think they will make a refreshing snack in the summer out by the pool. Jacin from Lovely Little Details is always creating beautiful things, including delish food. I must warn you though, if you click on over to her site you will spend hours drooling over gorgeous florals and contemplating how to move to New England, Australia, and California. Look at those honeycomb shelves, you can quote me….honeycomb is the new chevron. Just look at Katie Bower’s backsplash. The girls from A Beautiful Mess featured these simple and beautiful shelves. Their styling makes me so jealous. If you haven’t checked out East Coast Creative’s “Creating with the Stars” well then where have you been? They’ve paired up DIY celebrities and some up and comers to create some pretty stellar projects. My favorite of round one had to be the side table that was upcycled from an old tire. Are you serious, that is genius. Color me impressed, which happens to be that happy yellow.

What did you find this week?
Got any fun plans for the weekend?

My Patty’s Day plans may be put on hold thanks to the whole sickness thing.

We need you to decide.....

Tim and I are at a stand still.

We have been working on a frame wall for a couple weeks now, and one of our sweet readers (hi Janelle) sent us some inspiration shots including a happy little print from Urban Outfitters. I loved the print but I wanted to make it more sentimental by using one of our vacation photos as the backdrop.

Herein lies the problem….we can’t decide between two finalists.

Can you help? We are going to print the winner in a gargantuan frame to showcase the “theme” of our frame wall. If you haven’t guessed, the theme is adventure.
I can’t wait to get it done and show you more.

Both of those photos hold very special meaning to us, because they were two of our favorite places we have ever been. Tim’s was taken in Camden, Maine and mine was taken in the mountains of Vermont.

Which would you choose?

I told Tim I would go with his if we could do colorful letters. Oh I should mention that we are open to suggestions. Just don’t be mean, if you hate it all then move along….or find me the Urban Outfitters print please and thanks.

Tim or Christina. Christina or Tim.
Pick a side, any side.
