Five Things

May 13th, 2011

 

{Peonies + fallen heart-shaped petals}

 

After our trip to the Rose Bowl Flea Market this past weekend, I’ve become completely refocused on working on our place again. Though we’ve made some good progress (even since this feature), we still have lots of empty wall space, awkward set-ups and an overall lack of direction when it comes to the bedrooms. But what I love most about interior design is how only a few key purchases (like last week’s glass console and new bench) can motivate you to move things around and switch them up in entirely different ways.

{A fun reminder of our trip to New Orleans}

{I look forward to flagging a bunch of recipes for those uninspired nights}



{I love the details on my new vintage Emmanuelle Khanh glasses}
