diy



paper airplanes and sweet sentiments combine in this adorable valentine decoration. it's a great activity to do with your kids or for them! i'm thinking that you could use it kind of like an advent calendar at christmas. each day next week you could open one airplane that would reveal something fun to do or even just another reason why you love your family. and who wouldn't want to play with them afterwards?

etsy favorites

i am totally in love with everything in my list today. i remember seeing the faux bois clock at christmas when looking for gifts and i wanted that one for myself. i still do! it's so cute. and that tv...is...so...rad!!! but the problem is that it's reserved for someone. when i first put it in my favorites it wasn't spoken for. but good news, there's a time limit on it, so after the ninth that tv is up for grabs.






so please, everyone, go and buy all these things so that i'm not tempted. wouldn't that messenger bag be a great gift for your sweetie for valentine's? or maybe the jim beam box? we use those as bedside tables. very versatile things those boxes. and let us not forget the hello print. nothing says "i love you" like typography. and i think the lady that makes them may also make a "love" version of it. i've seen pictures anyway, but she may not sell them in her etsy store. however, she has a separate website that you can access from etsy. anyway, happy shopping!

home tour

this tour of scandi goodness comes to you via the dos family. i just love the white background and quirky wall hangings. and, can you believe that this home is 300 years old and used to have dirt floors? wow. what a transformation!

ooh, i want a turntable like that.


check out the stack of mags used as an end table. genius!


i love a full wall of subway tile in a kitchen. especially with delightful open shelving cut into the wall.

i am longing for spring and the new growth it will bring.

You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy.
