Syncopated Sundays

Hello!  Today I'm starting a new series called Syncopated Sundays.  I'll be featuring a few of my favorite finds and blog posts from around the web.

First up is this adorable nursery from The Hunted Interior.  This room floored me!  It's gorgeous!  I love that it's a space for mom and baby.

This easy-going outfit from What I Wore is great.  Have you discovered the maxi dress?  It's feels like going out in your pajamas, but looks put together. 

Dana from House *Tweaking showed us some updates she's made to her laundry nook.  I love the new mirror, and she looks cute too!



Hope you have a great start to the new week!

Winter Weekend Getaway

My husband and I are getting ready for a little weekend getaway to celebrate Valentine's Day and our "Monthiversary" as we call it.  I am always trying to become a more efficient packer, so I thought you might enjoy a look at the kinds of things I'll be taking along.  Happy Valentine's Day, and have a great weekend!

Syncopation

In music, syncopation is when the normally unaccented beat becomes accented.  The beat is displaced.  I am starting this blog to chronicle my journey in creating a home.  I love all things having to do with home, and I hope to explore many aspects of that here on the blog.  I enjoy trying my hand at decorating though I am certainly not a decorator.  Let's start the blog by looking at some images that inspire me.

Check out this interior by Shuyler Samperton.  It's such a quirky mix of prints.  I love the rug, curtains, and that striped chair.  It looks stylish and comfortable.

My favorite thing about this dining room is the wicker chairs.  I love almost anything wicker.  It makes a room feel earthy and cozy.

 In the past year I've come to enjoy gardening.  Someday I hope to have an English garden.  Maybe this picture is a little bit of a dream,but it's a beautiful dream.

I couldn't start this blog without mentioning my obsession with tea. 

I start each day with a cup of tea.  It just makes life nicer.

I enjoy mixing and matching the clothes in my closet.  With the right pieces there really are endless combinations.  One of my favorite places to go for inspiration is Jessica Quirk's blog What I Wore . 

Thanks for stopping by!  I look forward to getting to know you and sharing more about my life!  Enjoy!
