Dream House
My Mr. & I are serious dreamers. We talk all the time about our dreams for the future and at the risk of sounding disgustingly corny, we will go so far as to rip pages out of magazines and bookmark endless websites to plan for our dream home. We talk about our dream garden and our dream solar panels, our dream cabinet pulls and our dream house numbers. Seriously, no topic is too small for us to start planning.
Last month, I came home and pulled my newest Dwell edition out of the mailbox and quickly planted myself on the couch and started dreaming. Now I will say, it's hard for me to flip through any design magazine and not find some sort of inspiration, however small it may be. But this time was different. This time they had our exact dream house featured in the magazine! Like seriously. To a tee. This is THE ONE.
Open floor plan. Wrap around porch. Walls of windows. Central courtyard with a fire pit. Green construction. All under a big sky.
I'm completely obsessed.

Paris
My best friend is flying to Paris today for her job.
She will be spending a week exploring the famous flea markets, scouting out beautiful textiles, prints, trends, and colors, discovering French design aesthetics to bring back to the US and produce en masse.
Yes, that's right. That's her job.
Now would be the time to call her any mean and derogatory names you'd like. I would, but I've already called them to her face and I can't print them here; it's a family friendly blog, after all.
Anyway, in honor of her gruesome work trip--full of stressful board meetings, stale coffee, and conference rooms with no windows (insert childish put-downs and jealousy-induced name calling here)--I decided to put together a little Parisian inspiration board to help get us all in the mood.
Bonne journée!
1. A modern-day Versailles
2. Parisian Icon
3. Potato Salad a la France
4. Lauren Moffatt does Parisian stripes
5. Diane Kruger in Chanel = The Definition of French
6. Paris street style
7. The epitome of French food
