By now, you’ve probably noticed the trend towards white walls in interiors these days. Especially in the homes of bloggers, eh? But this Scandinavian influence is certainly nothing new. American mid-century homes often used this clean style as a backdrop for simple furniture and bright artwork and textiles. I’m kind of missing the white walls of our apartment, so we’ve been considering brightening up a space or two in our home with a coat of white on the walls. I really love balancing whites with warm neutrals and bold colors, and these vintage homes have done just that. Too bad Phil wouldn’t agree to purple carpet!

My, don’t babies grow fast! (Not to mention, this one’s hair.) Each month I rummage through her drawers and closet to make sure I don’t miss the opportunity to dress Lucy in the things I had bought for her almost a year ago. I just packed away her 0-3 month clothes (!!!), and at 5 months old, she’s finally starting to fit into 3-6 month clothes. It’s such a treat rediscovering the fun things I had found at the thrift store shortly after we learned I was pregnant with a baby girl. During my pregnancy, I had often imagined what my baby would look like, and tried to picture her wearing the clothes I found. Now that she’s finally here, and growing into new stages all the time, I couldn’t be more excited! Little girls sure are fun to dress, and I’m enjoying every minute of it!

Maybe it’s the influence of citrus season, or perhaps it’s just the Winter blues, but I can’t get enough of this fresh color combination! I’ve been drinking grapefruit cocktails and eating little cuties by the handful, and when I’m not eating up the food, I’m soaking up the inspiration on my Art + Design Pinterest board.
