Another week. Another Friday. Friday’s don’t seem that different than any other day at this point but thats ok. Im thankful that our big decisions to make are where the takeout comes from or what bottle of wine to open. Some day things will be back to normal but I truly hope that we have a new kind of normal. One filled with kindness and love.

Spring/Summer wardrobes are my favorite. They are filled with color, personality, and happiness.

Here are some of my favorite current spring finds.

Aesthetics

My sister and I always dream up small businesses for our cute little town. We both agree that along with usability, aesthetics are so important. The aesthetics definitely create an experience for the consumer and makes them want to stay and play. I love the simplicity yet clean lines of both shops below. Someday I hope to get my hands on a brick and mortar of my own.

Bookshelves

This week on stories I talked a little about bookshelf styling. I hope to do a more formal video for you all soon! In the meantime here are a few tips of what to use when styling shelves!

Baskets for storage: tuck away things you need in arms reach but not out for everyone to see!
Stack coffee table books horizontally and layer them with interesting objects!
Mix different materials and metals on your shelves to keep it interesting.
Add texture to give dimension. You can do this with textured vases, rattan, woven baskets, etc…

Patio Dreaming

I am having dreams of late afternoons and evenings on the patio. Trees full of leaves, green grass, and flowering bushes all around. This gorgeous patio stopped me in my tracks. The details of the pergola, the haint blue ceiling, and of course those chairs!
