daybed fringe!

Added a little pizazz to our daybed this week....

I had been thinking about doing this for awhile, first inspired by this Wisteria sofa (discontinued...sad) that I love sooooo much. I decided to bring just a touch of it into our home with the fringe element. Also hoping to recover the mattress this year, so maybe this inspiration will continue and shape the style direction of the new cover. 

The trim adds just a bit of boho, which I love. What do you think?

random living room updates

So I shared earlier this week about this great table...and here it is now, in it's new home.

Also had to share a close-up of this beautiful bowl. It belonged to my great-grandmother, and the cool thing is that she got it in San Francisco, in the 1940's! Love that. This was actually another treasure brought home from Michigan - my aunt had a bunch of old jewelry and things which she let my sister and I raid. It's so special to have this :)

Although it's been chilly in the city lately, we've had awesome blue skies and sunshine the last few days.  One of my favorite things about our house is the south-facing windows where the sun streams in...

Bringing in the other table inspired me to rearrange our other living room table as well. (honestly, it doesn't take much for this inspiration to strike...it's one of my favorite things to do :))

project progress: sisters' room

This week I'm working hard on this room for two sisters. We started putting it together before the holidays, with just enough colorful and cozy elements for the girls to enjoy for Christmas...but there is so much more fun to come in this room. Can't wait to finish and share!

a gem from home

Look what I brought home from our Christmas trip to Michigan...this awesome moroccan or indian tray table! It belonged to my great aunt, and my mom kindly let me swipe it. So excited to incorporate it into our home somewhere...
