LEMONADE

Last night I painted my nails Lemonade from the Orly Sweet Collection. I haven't painted my nails in FORRREEVVVERRRR (seriously, probably years). But the pretty pastel colors I have been seeing lately are so lovely I wanted to give it a go. The photos below are NOT my own nails because I didn't do such a good job. Anyone have any good nail painting tips? It always seems only hours after I paint them they are already messed up...that's why I haven't painted them in years!

I also bought a pastel purple which I am excited to try as well!

Yes Please!

To go with the new (to me) table (posted below) I will hopefully soon be getting 4 of these chairs to go along with it.

The Tobias Chair from IKEA! I thought the clear plastic is super modern looking and would look awesome with the table....just have to save up!!

Also, here are a few favorites of my latest favorites from Etsy. I could waste a whole day away on that site if I wasn't careful.

My Collection is Growing.....

So I have been super obsessed with Mid-Century Modern/Eames/Danish everything (but most especially furniture) for almost a year now. I have been mostly buying little things here and there at Flea Markets or Garage Sales. But recently I was looking around Craigs List and found an ad for a guy selling a bunch of Mid-Century Modern Furniture. I decided I would check it out. He ended up being the coolest guy who had the coolest apartment full of AHHHMAAZING furniture...AND 3 huge storage units full as well. He is an avid collector and his girlfriend was getting sick of it all so he was looking to downsize. I also found out he has a book deal with a major publisher to write a book all about Danish and Mid-Century furnishings..coooolllll... So I ended up buying this table...of which there is only one more (known of) in the United States. It is a Danish designer who never ended up selling his stuff in the U.S. It has two leaves to extend it super long and the way the leaves are attached are super cool. I will have to take more pics sometime.

And I bought this lovely credenza/side bar also. My kitchen is super small so I was looking for something pretty like this to store extra dishes, etc... Sam (the guy who sold me the furniture) is suppose to email me the history and stories behind each piece which I will share when I get them.

Lots of space!!

Also, I got gorgeous flowers from a cute boy on my birthday....so that was nice :)

ANNNDDD.....

RANUNCULUS!!!


A flower I have recently become very in love with... I have never received them from anyone or even seen a real on in person (only a fake one in Pottery Barn..haha) but I love to see pictures of them and hope to find a local florist who carries them or can get them so I can fill my house with them!!

What's Your favorite flower???

Decorating the Walls!!

I am finally getting around to buying frames to FINALLY put up all of the prints I have been collecting over the past couple months. Most of my walls are now painted and I am ready to fill the empty space. Here are the prints I have gotten so far.



I just LOVE these prints from BeeThings. I will be hanging them in my foyer.

And this one from MultiplePersonality. Haven't decided where this one will go yet. Probably on the wall going up my stairs.

And last but certainly not least my print from Red Velvet Art. My life has most certainly gone through some major changes in the last 18 months and I thought this print was perfect to hang by my makeup table so I see it pretty much first thing every morning.
Looking forward to adding to my collection!!

Pretty Vintage Things
