And I also heart wallpaper, and typography, so naturally, this is the coolest thing ever. Animalia, by sum-design. I’m not sure where I would put this in my house, but it sure is fun! Some other great designs over on the sum website. Check it out!

I love love typography, as you may know! These cute journals, note cards and stationery from paper n stitch seller Jet Set Paper are really fun and, although it’s after the holiday, a great gift for a friend with a soft spot for a certain city. Enjoy, and welcome back! nyc seattle

This is something I wonder of other people: do you have Christmas bed linens? This is the second year in a row I’ve seen holiday sheets that I really like, but I can’t justify spending that kind of money on something you’re only meant to use for a month, maybe a month and a half. But these [...]

People are just so darn creative…here are some cool gift tags! I always buy the sticker kind, but this year I think I might make some. Plus, then you can customize them to match the wrapping, or even what present is inside! Love these tags by etsy seller paperpumpkin.  These are from alignwithdesign. Very cool! [...]

Well, you can tell that I’m leaning towards a “home made” christmas this year! Is this my 4th diy post?! Anyway, this is a really simple, really cool little project I found on craftstylish blog the other day. I’m planning on hanging a bunch in front of my sliding glass doors. It’s really simple and [...]
