my idea of a home

: : love this post over at .oh joy. today. I would feel so at home in any of these homes, the light, the wood, the color pop, the simplicity, purposefulness, balance and of course the pop colors feels perfectly aligned with the things I try to create in my own home. turns out the homes are all Swedish, designed by Swedish interior firm Alvhem....no wonder I was drawn to the images.

progress

 : : we did some work over the holiday weekend, we're making progress on our dining room. the wallpaper and antlers are up! the wallpaper looks tres chic! We are still working on a shelf for the opposite wall, and are waiting for our gold lamp to be rewired and hung above the table. oh and white curtains, maybe laser cut felt with kurbits patterns.
