After quite a few canceled vacations, the boyfriend and I booked a trip to Mexico… the best part…. we left this morning (we booked yesterday afternoon)!!! Completely chaotic and exciting!
We are staying here… and if the missoni chairs, nailhead ottomans and crazy chandy are any sign, I think this place might be heaven.
Last time this year, I was in Mexico with some of my very best friends. One night during dinner I leaned over to take a picture with my little blonde bestie and my chair completely toppled over. By some sort of miracle, this moment was caught on film.
A year later, my friends and I still die laughing over this picture. Wow… I am awkward.
Anywaysssss, I have a couple short posts lined up while I’m gone, but regular posting will return on Tuesday (with me and my tan).
Hi lovely readers! I am so excited that Amanda invited me over today, her blog is one of my absolute favorites!! This “Spring Fling” series is right up my alley too. In Chicago our winter gets a little bit long and having spring in the back of my mind is the only thing that saves me from insanity! So here are my top five must haves for my home in the spring:
1. The biggest selling point for my condo was this roof deck:
So come spring my most important priority is to get this space in perfect shape. I wish I could have all the cushions reupholstered in bright pink but instead… Some adorable outdoor pillows will do the trick (these would replace the blue, dont worry!)
2. There are definitely pros and cons of having a roof deck instead of a yard, my only real con is that I miss the greenery, so these vertical gardens would be the perfect solution. (via)
3. Now that spring is coming back, so is my absolute favorite flower. Peonies!! To make my house spring ready there will need to be bunches and bunches of these around. (via)
4. Although I use a lot of restraint when adding color in my house, I love the idea of having this throw on my sofa to pack some spring punch. The pop of color would be such a welcome change from the massive fur throw that lives there during the winter. (via)
5. Last but not least… is some spring cleaning. I want to get my house into perfect shape for this summer, clean out all the unnecessary crap I save and have it all really, perfectly organized. Wish me luck!! (via)
Hope you all enjoyed my must haves for spring! And thank you so much Amanda for having me!
