i wish i could wrap my arms around this and make it my own. maybe someday? here are some of my favorites from the architects bosworth hoedmaker featured on desire to inspire. click here for the full post on jo & kim’s blog.

i love this show – it makes me smile, wish i was this age in a completely different era, and swoon over the mid century inspiration in every episode (i try to ignore how chauvinistic darren is):

here are my picks to achieving the bewitched look in your own home:

i mean, i really want a white lacquer console but it just won’t go with the couch that we will compromise on.

here, i’ve picked my favorite items for a compromised living room – a slightly feminine touches with bold geometric shapes. how do you compromise for both yourself and the man in your life when it comes to interior design?

i stumbled upon this photo by photographer virginia macdonald featured on desire to inspire yesterday and fell in love immediately. i love the layered look, plus it’s light and airy and a little sassy with that punch of leopard print. at the end of the day though, you can break this overall vibe down into 5 essential pieces and then layer on top of that with light and airy pieces of art (and a good dose of white paint).

amazon is a wonderful thing. you can seriously find just about anything – i’m not even kidding. if you’re looking for something, and can’t find it, let me know, i’ll find it for you.

so there are these trunks at restoration hardware. and i love the overall idea of them (and fall in love with photos that show use of vintage suitcases). they are a little pricey and not exactly the look i’m going for. so enter amazon. where i find something that is in line with my intentions for my living room and doesn’t break the bank. we’re talking 3 of these that fit my style for the cost of one of restoration’s.

what’s your best lust vs. must?

ps – for a look more similar to the restoration ones (i’m going for very light, and metallic) check out these trunks
