Reno Dreams

My little shop will be going through lots of changes over the summer, and so I've of course made up a Pinterest board to reflect the things I'd love to see... not all of these things will happen, of course, but my gosh I feel good getting my ideas all mashed up in one place.

Today I just wanted to share a few of the images that make me swoon over renovating my store. So much fun. So much love.








1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9.

So many ideas!

PS. I got some fun news today that I'll be sharing very soon. Ooh la la. Happy stuff, mes amis.

Chalkboard Painted Walls Make Me Swoon

I recently did a post about chalkboard painted walls over at Mom Spark and now I can't stop thinking about them. How awesome is this little 1/2 wall? I'm a bit obsessed with this image, actually. It's just gorgeous. It makes me feel so comfortable. 

I'm also loving the bookshelf and its rustic contents. I want to transport myself into this image and curl up with a novel and a cup of tea.

Bliss.

Have you been craving any home redesign projects lately? What's at the top of your list?

Window Love


Today I might be daydreaming a bit about this space. Can you imagine sipping your morning tea to that view? Stunning.

Part of this actually looks like a painting to me. I'm also maybe wondering how many birds meet their fate against that pane..

I See London, I See France


I've been giggling over this silly welcome mat for a few weeks now. This one makes me snicker too. (And this one gives my geeky side a little nudge in the ribs.)

Have you got a quirky little something or other for your guests to wipe their boots on?

Pink Kitchen Love


It might be a little over the top, but this kitchen is magical.

Where on earth do you find a pink stove??

To The Land Of Those Tasty Little Meatballs

We're going to IKEA on Monday, so of course I've been browsing around on the website like mad, spending $1000s of theoretical dollars on everything from area rugs, to toys for Gretchen, to entire kitchen renos, to duvet covers.

Speaking of duvet covers, I'm in love:




That first one really needs to be on my bed. Monday can't come soon enough!

(The main reason we're going is to find a kitchen table, but I know we'll come home with more goodies than that. Also, on a side note, the last time I was at IKEA I was around 9 months pregnant and caused quite the scene. People were pretty much running to get out of the way of my MASSIVE belly. If you need a reminder, click here or here.)

Kitchen Inspiration

Beautiful kitchens are definitely my weakness.

I wish I could say that the kitchen is my favourite room in our house, but to tell you the truth it's a little lackluster at the moment. However, I've been searching around for some kitchen inspiration and I came across these gorgeous images on Are So Happy.

I'm in serious makeover mode now.










Lots of wood, lots of comfort. Shelving, books, open spaces, gorgeous views. Such delights. Which image is your favourite?

Claw Foot Couch Love

Aren't these neat?



They're like the beautiful offspring of a sofa and a claw foot tub.

Reminds me of this post.

Hand Knitted Slip Cover Love


I think I could live in a chair like this. Just bring me a cup of coffee every now & again.

This is amazing.

End Table Love

I don't think I've ever been this in love with a tiny little table. Never mind the fact that it costs more than 2x our rent.


It's beautiful.

The Peaceful Quaker Cloister

Doesn't this home make you feel instantly welcome? Like a part of the family?








The floors are so rich & warm, the kitchen hearth is to die for and everything feels like home.

(I was also just saying a couple days ago that I actually enjoy painted brick, but only in very light shades. We've even got a painted brick column in our bedroom here.)

Twitterpated Birdcage Chandelier Love

This chandelier is so delightfully whimsical & charming!



Perfect for a playroom? Office? It would be wonderful in a foyer, oui? Hmm, I can picture a whole beautiful room based around these colours -- so bright, so fun!

And the name. Twitterpated? Cute, cute, cute.

Bedroom Bunting Love



I love this bunting duvet cover & matching curtains from IKEA. Just whimsical enough, without being cutesy. They are actually from the children's section, but to be honest, I could see snuggling up with this pattern myself!
