friday fancys | television sets

Happy Friday all! You made it through the week - can you believe it? I know I barely did..

One of our favorite things to do in our free time is watch television. I don't even want to try and calculate how many hours we spend in front of the TV in a week. 
I sometimes watch a show for the drama and sometimes for the design of a set. I have a few favorite show sets and most just so happen to be some of my favorite dramas too:) 
1. Witches of East End

 Although this show has been cancelled recently (pause for moment of silence) - it doesn't change the fact that it has an amazingly put together set. The main family lives in a massive Victorian home that has adorable charm. You can see the attention to detail in this house - detailed trim, beautiful transom windows, everything! 
My favorite space is the kitchen, but every room has amazing design - even the library that one character works at! 

Who wouldn't love to just have a cup of tea in this lovely living room?


 This is a close up shot of my favorite detailing in the house - from the kitchen. The vintage light, the painted paneling on the wall, the gorgeous transom window - on point.

2. The Vampire Diaries 

 I may be a little too old to be still watching this show, but I can't seem to kick it! 
On top of beautiful homes, these characters have the best wardrobe!  Why can't I put something so simple together?

This is a shot of Elena and Caroline's dorm room at "Whitmore College". Ya, I've convinced myself that dorm rooms do not look like this in real life. Hubs went to a very nice private college and his dorm room was the nicest I've seen - until TVD.. It doesn't remotely look like this..


This is Elena Gilbert's house (before it burned down if you are familiar with the show). The porch is just phenomenal. Need I say more?

I'll take it. 



3. Pretty Little Liars - Duh

Bet ya didn't see that coming! 
PLL has everything - it IS my favorite show on the Earth..  I love the wardrobes, the characters, the boys;) 
While I contemplate who the next A is, I try to figure out how to get my house to look like theirs.. I am most in love with Spencer and Aria's houses, or Ezra's quaint apartment - but really they are all great:) 


Really? Even their therapists office is cute..



 I love the stacked books and layered linens on the bed - it makes it feel so relaxed yet pulled together.  It also helps that Aria is one of my favorite characters:) 




Spencer's kitchen always seems to be a big gathering point for all of their A theories and it definitely holds its own. 


I have many more favorites but these are for sure the top 3.

We have been busy hanging curtains here over the last few days and I hope to have something ready for y'all soon! 

Also, who do you think A is??

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...

certains things just belong at home..

The other day my aunt and I were pulling of the driveway about to do some shopping and someone had pulled off onto the side of the road. He waved us down and asked if I owned the house - it feels so good to say "Yes", although I'm a horrible liar and should have said "I will in 20-30 years."  He informed us that he wasn't a creep [which made me think he might just be a creep - just kidding!] and that he lived in the house two owners ago [from 1993-2001-ish]. He said he was unpacking some boxes and came across something he thought should stay with the house and thought I may like it. He saw that we were doing a lot on the house and thought we were doing a really good job - well duh.  He pulled out two nicely framed photos: This is the original home owner! Can you even right now? This was taken over 100 years ago, guys!     I zoomed in so we could go into greater detail. 1. There's a hammock on the porch - I love hammocks!...

Friday Fancys!

Today is the debut for my Friday Fancys post!  Every Friday I want to do a fun post about "Whatever suits my Fancy"! Things that make me happy that I want to talk about that week - anything. Any topic, any subject - anything. I need ideas from all of you to get me through all 52 weeks this year too!  Recently my best friend reintroduced me into alliterations and I thought this would be the perfect place to expose my new found love:) As I mentioned in my New Year post - making routine posts for you to get excited about is one of my 2015 goals. I think it goes without saying that my main passion - among other things - is design and all things creative. You may know that about me, but do you know where I get my main inspiration? Do you know what really makes me tick? What really gives me goosebumps when I see a completed space on TV or in real life? Maybe you don't care, maybe you do - if you don't - you should probably hit that little red x in the left co...
