friday fancys | loves

It's Friday again!   I was going to post in honor of 50 Shades of Grey coming out today, but I felt that posting about Valentine's Day would be slightly more appropriate. So, in celebration of this ridiculously worshipped holiday - I bring you all of my LOVES. 


love | MOVIE

Of course I have two favorites:) 



I have a love for Drew and also a love for Chicago:) 
I can honestly say I've watched both at least 100 times and can recite the entire script of NBK..


love | FLOWER

Peonies!


If anyone, ahem, plans on getting my flowers tomorrow - they better start with a "P" and end with "eonies"..


love | PATTERN



Herringbone. Obsessed.



If I could incorporate Herringbone in every square inch of the home - I would. I love this pattern in wood flooring (pictured), tile, fabrics etc.
Herringbone is a very classic and timeless pattern and you can't go wrong with it in your design:)



love | PUP


If you couldn't guess this already - Boston Terrier!





Between my husband's family and mine, we have about 6 Bostons - each with their own little quirks:)
Once you go Boston - you can't go back! (Nothing rhymed with Boston...)


love | HOUSE


Although, we do own a gorgeous Victorian - our first love goes to the Craftsman Bungalow. Not only does it have a fun name to say, it has many charming features that Hub and I both enjoy. 



This is not my exact style that I adore so much, but it does show all of the architectural features that most bungalows have. The porches are so inviting, grand windows in the front and yet it looks so quaint and cozy - one day if I purchase a vacation home, it will be a bungalow! 



I'd love to hear some of your LOVES!

side | bar

Whoa! | Bathroom REupdate

Well it's been pretty damn long since I've given you guys any good stuff lately. I failed miserably at the OCD challenge last year and for that I am sorry. BUT we are back in action and we have decided to stick with working on one room at a time but not necessarily finish in a month's time. This really allows us to focus on one space and pay attention to every detail and really perfect it.  The first project of the year was the main bathroom. You may be saying "Hey, didn't she already do that one?" . Yes. Yes we did. I am a perfectionist and I knew it needed to be done again. I wasn't happy with the wall color and there were too many unfinished projects in the space. It was somewhat embarrassing when we had guests over and it looked like a Sundance film production office (whatever that looks like, I just made that up) exploded in there. I think it wasn't completed for so long because I was sort of scared to do some of the projects that needed to b...

in with the old | my best thrift finds

*as you read through this post, have  Thrift Shop by Ryan Lewis and Macklemore  [link attached] play in the background, as I did when I was posting this:)  My husband is - for lack of a better word - cheap. He means well, but it really puts a wrench in most of my design plans. This just makes me work ten times harder to find the best deal out there and still maintain the integrity of my design.  Where do you go for such deals you ask?  Goodwill, duh!  I'm obsessed. Luckily I can soothe my infatuations less than a mile from my house!  Of course I also take a stop into TJ Maxx that's right next door and Pot Belly's too, but that's a topic for another day..  I usually get to GW once a week and I can definitely tell when I haven't been in awhile. ...wow, it really is sounding like an addiction, huh? First, I scout out the furniture - usually I don't find anything because a) It's already been picked through or b) it's t...

our upstairs bath | total gut

This is probably to biggest demo project on the house. This is the yucky space previously known as "the bathroom". Yes, that is my husband in the reflection:) Apparently we forgot to get better "before" photos.. The dimensions of the room were 4x9--not even wide enough for a tub! So this was our first mission when planning out this tiny bath-make room for tub!  Here's a fun little fact: this is the only room in the house that I didn't step more than 2 feet in the doorway. That's how bad this space was!  Here's some fun demo that I luckily did not have to take part in any of it, not even clean up! This is the view coming from the front bedroom on the house. We also did some knocking down of walls and putting up of walls in this room. Luckily it was big enough and didn't take away too much space.  Little bro, pretending to help with the demo...  And this is the guy who was the muscle in all of this:)  ...
