currently {may edition}

designing: we are continuing to plan out ideas for our new home {we moved in last december} and one of those ideas includes wallpaper in certain rooms/walls. how cool is this white washed wood wall- that’s wallpaper. ♥ love the rustic and barn look. 
enjoying: floral spring dresses- i love this navy one so much! i adore dresses with sleeves and the pattern on this one is so beautiful to me.
ordering: we just ordered two french bistro chairs for our breakfast area {they can also be used on our back patio!} i have been dreaming about owning these ever since strolling through the streets of paris in 2006. so excited for them to arrive!
celebrating: spring time weather and some family visits coming up! my sister and her husband are coming for memorial day and my parents are coming may 30- june 2!
tasting: la croix- so good. i love almost all the flavors. as a water lover over pop- it’s perfect for me. what are your favorite flavors? also, lots of salads lately! starting to explore kale options- any advice/favorites?

what are you up to currently?

    Those chairs and wall paper are absolutely beautiful! I'm so excited to get the chance to decorate my first apartment when I finally move out of a dorm.

      so the dress is sold out 🙁 so sad. and the chairs are a shot from paris {i believe- thought it was more appealing!} but i bought some similar {not quite this amazing} from home improvements catalog online! thanks for the love and hope you're well! loving your posts

    Bistro chairs and wallpaper – how fun! And I got into La Croix last month doing the Whole30 – it took a little getting used to, but the cran-raspberry is now my drink of choice 🙂

    I cannot wait to see that wallpaper in your home!!! Perfect!!! Also, reading this post of yours about the bistro chairs could not have come at a better time. I LITERALLY just spent 2 hours searching for the "perfect set" online, ugh!! For the life of me I can't find any I really like!

    Parisian bistro seating sounds so lovely… and so does planning out your home decor. That image is so lovely! =)

    What a cute little table set! What is la Croix? Is it a drink? I'm not a pop person either, so you have me intrigued. I much prefer spinach to straight kale in my salads. My go-to right now is spinach, dried cranberries, pecans or sliced almonds, goat or feta cheese, maybe some strawberries and topped with a balsamic reduction. Soooo good! I'm going to try it with apple next, I think. I'll be interested to hear if you get any good kale salad recipes fhough. 🙂
