The Best Cottage Rest Stops

Loving these adorable cottage restroom getaways.  They don't look like someone came in and a week later wah lah!  Even if they are they look like pieces of art that have grown, changed and beautified over time...

This flooring is a good compromise to my beloved honeycomb tile that I love so much... the rest of the bathroom I could do without.

Love the floor in the bathroom in the background.  It's a larger honeycomb design.

As much as I love the horizontal wide wood wall planks this could be a good compromise.

Master Bedroom Makeover

With babe #3 very quickly on it's way, I really feel like we need to have a getaway, our master bedroom, the one place I can go for a breathe of air, a cozy sanctuary that we can retreat to amidst the madness of three little ones under the age of 4!  I have never had a nice master bedroom, some cute pieces but never something complete. 

I have been scouring for ideas for months now, with nothing, besides the gorgeous all white bedrooms, that really catch my eye.  As much as the all white bedroom appeals to me, without the backdrop to go with it I fear it could fail and I would get bored with it quickly.  So I decided I would like to go almost all white with a few pops of color.  Yesterday I think at long last found my inspiration room while reading my favorite blog, SF Girl by the Bay...

The Marion House Book

 

 

I never dreamed I would ever consider anything bright yellow or gold but I love how it pops from the white and I've always loved the idea of using some pink/coral but was afraid it would be too feminine.  I think this look still maintains masculinity I think because of the kilim pillows, blacks and greys in room. 

 

Immediately I started scouring for pieces to make this room work.  I've found these so far but will continue to look of course.

Pink Linen Pillow Shams, Sukan, Etsy

I'm not 100% on these, I'd like to find some more like in the pic with some detail to them, or find some material so I can make my own. 

 





 

Fabric to make my own:

 

Spoonflower Tiny Coral Droplets by Eythink

 

 

Kilim pillow cover, Pottery Barn

 

 

White ruched pillow case, Pottery Barn

 

Although I like this, I will try to find less sham and more pillow case, but these would be a nice runner up.

 

 

Grey and White pillow, Gypsya, Etsy

 

 



 

Not sure you can find much better, I'll share once/if it comes to fruition!  :-)

 

Peace,

Bohemia Love

I instantly fell in love with these gorgeous bohemian parasols when I saw them at Olive and Cocoa, and thought how cute they would be above a crib in the nursery.  But the price was way too much.....

But after a little googling, found these at Wisteria.  Much much cheaper and one awesome labor day sale later three of these puppies are on their way to mi casa!  Can't beat the $12 price.  And now I see they are no longer available!  Now I can't wait to find out the gender of babe #3 so I know if these will go in the nursery or in one of the girls rooms...oh decisions decisions. 

I also discovered this adorable Etsy Shop, Gypsa this week. And my head is racing again.  I've been pondering on the idea of getting slipcovers made for the cushions of our all white sectional couch to help protect the seats and to bring some color in.  I'm loving this velvet color on this Dwellstudio chair.  Where can I find some velvet this color????   It's called Banks Pool but looks like a nice sea blue/green color.   

 

Then I found these cute pillows on Gypsa and now I'm torn.  Velvet pillow or velvet cushions? And do I go with a blue/green color or this gorgeous rosey shell pink color mixed with some white pillows???  Or can you mix the blue and pink?  Oh love love love. 

 

 

Also found these cute things from Gypsa.

 

 

Oh and can't forget about these sweet Free People displays I picked up this week from the local store!  Yay! 

 

 

Have a great week!

Peace,

Jill





Mix and Match Dining

I've been drawn to casual formal dining spaces since I can remember, one that's just beautifully thrown together with this and that.  Mismatched chairs and linens done just right with only hints of color for cohesion.  About a year ago I scored these two mismatched chairs at a garage sale and brought them home, put them around the table and have been thinking about how to 'finish' them.  They are both very neutral and I have two white chairs and a bench around the table.  I think I'd like to paint the more vintage chair a very soft seashell pink (like in the first pic below) and then pull in some pinks in the linens, or a light turquoise....hmmmmm....

Here are some eclectic dining rooms I found in my scouring that have inspired me to finish my own space...


House of Fifty
I love the colors in this one more than anything.  I've always loved seeing pops of pink in a white and black room but never knew how to do it because I love decorating very beachy, well have you ever seen the inside of some shells?!  It's the most gorgeous shade of soft pink.  Now I feel like I can decorate with pink in a beachy themed interior.  yay!

 

 

This one is just shabby gorgeous in my opinion.  And I love the gorgeous chandelier that balances the shabby out.  Beautiful.

I love how they overlapped the different colored table linens on this table.

Craigslist Photo

I saw this one on Craigslist (they were selling the gorgeous table).  It might be my favorite one here!  I wanted to contact them and pretend to want to see the table just to see the rest of the house!  :-)

Gorgeous Room Inspiration

I was in the mood to be inspired today so I visited one of my favorite blogs, SF Girl by the Bay, who never disappoints, and these are some of my favorite finds.  

I'm in love with these rooms and ideas and can't wait to someday have some beautiful spaces like these in my own home. 
Let the fun hunt begin looking for budget friendly ways to bring these ideas alive!  :-) 
Adorable reading nook from the Apartment via SF Girl by the Bay.  I love love love the ceiling and the eclectic mix of furniture.  And who doesn't love this rug?!

The above rug reminds me of this cool rug from Anthropologie, the Hattan Curves Rug.



Love everything about this room from Skandia Maklarna.  We have a white couch so I'm always drawn to room inspiration with a base white couch.  The small pops of color bring life into the room but just enough as to not create clutter.     

This room from Home and Delicious, a new online magazine published out of reykjavík iceland by husband & wife team photographer gunnar sverrisson and designer Halla Bára Gestsdóttirjust looks so thrown together and farm cozy I couldn't resist to add it.  I always think about the fact that no two rooms, no two homes are ever exactly alike.  We all live in unique spaces.  Even if we go to Pottery Barn for instance and buy the display room, there always ends up being little pieces of you brought in to make it your own even if it's a newspaper strewed about.

gotta love a display like this.... from The Apartment.

Fun Antique Finds

Whilst browsing at a local antique shop during our Summer holiday, I gradually became more and more saddened that I was 2500 miles from home so getting these beauties home would be doubtful.
:-((((((

Anyways I still wanted to share these great finds!  And the prices were amazing!  Makes this all the more sad...  Boo hoo hoo hooooooooo

Peace!
