9 by design

I don't care if i'm the bazillionth person to blog about it--Adam and I are hooked. So is Maureen, who calls the show either '7+2' or 'Mindless by Design'.
she still doesn't know what it's called.
Not only do we want to start tearing down walls and purchase furniture from parisian antique shops-as of yesterday, we want to have seven children and name them:

Raphael Buie
Brad-Pitt Buie
Angelina-Jolie Buie
Spacebar Buie
Captain Buie
Ajax Buie
&
Juicy Buie

Watch the show to see what we mean....
you'll LOVE it!

Back to Life. Back to Reality.
I was anxious to come home, look at all my weddings pics and get back to REALITY--tho I feel I have neglected this poor blog, and hope to make it up to you with all of these lovelies I have discovered and saved in my inbox over the past little while:

My not-so-new favorite blog oh, hello friend makes me want to hibernate in my windowless bedroom for days and wrap little pretties such as these. Creepy? No, Crafty.

Now I don't know if I would wear a flower the size of Australia on my shirt, but these (not-so-little) gems make me want to re-do my engagements, AND would make my body look really tiny. Thank you, Emerson Made. You are like J Crew on steroids.

In my next life i'm going to be a seamstress/upholsterer (is that a word?) and spend my days making my own clothes and covering old furniture with the most beautiful life-altering fabrics one could ever lay their eyes on. For now, I would just like to purchase this ever-so-lovely couch from here.

I wanted to use this idea for my own wedding-but thought it was a little more shower-ish. Anybody getting married soon???

Something I can't live without is a CALENDAR. I bought this one on etsy last year, and love it-but not as much as I think I would love this one. Only $12 on overstock!

There are toooo many things I love about this kitchen.

First-the brick. 'nuff said.

Second-the white kitchen Aid. Everyone has rainbow colored kitchen-aids, and sometimes I get a little bit jealous because mine is white--but I still love it, and I get so excited when I see great kitchens with WHITE kitchen aids. Woot Woot!

Third-the gumball machine. I WILL, I repeat, I WILL have a gumball machine in my kitchen one day.

Fourth-the chalkboard pantry doors. I love this because it is EASY to do. Even though chalk dust makes me sneeze like there's no tomorrow--I would suck it up cuz my kitchen would be damn cute.

And lastly, The island. I think the idea of painting the base is a super cool idea.

Too bad we don't have an island.

Too bad our apartment is the size of that island.

I've always told Adam I could live on a pile of manure with him and be happy.

But this kitchen wouldn't hurt....

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have that headboard, those pillows,ooooOOOOOOOO

)))00000000000000000000and LIGHT ;)

Have a good weekend!

I will be dreaming of these bedrooms and convincing Adam to let us go to DI and refurbish an old headboard ;)

Bury me wrapped in these fabrics.

So after about 10 minutes of drooling over these beds, I was looking at their website and realized there is a store literally 5 minutes down the street from my work that carries this line.
Can I take an early lunch break???

I love vintage-inspired/eclectic pillows, (or Pellows I should say- I am from Utah). If you saw my bed you'd have an idea of what i'm talking about. I nearly choked on my tea this morning when I saw how stinkin' inexpensive these pillows were. I'm hesitant to put where they're from, cuz i'm afraid they'll sell out. Ok, FINE.
p.s. how did I never hear of THIS??!! It's right up my alley.

As if you couldn't tell already, I can't google IKAT enough! I love it so.

Severe Room Envy. Arrrggg.

LOVING these rooms.

India Rose

She has my dream job. She was on the first design team for pottery barn and then opened india rose, designing products for anthropologie, crate & barrel, and pottery barn of course. Stuff this good makes me lose consciousness.

Recently i've been on the look-out for area rugs. Yes, area rugs. I don't know WHY--I don't even have anywhere to put it!? Anyway, I love them and i've been especially crushing on the Betty/Honey Rug from Angela Adams.

Please Bless I have this couch in my house one day.
