Sit back, relax, and enjoy :-)

Seriously it's Friday and just like last week I can feel it and I'm sure you guys can too! So just relax and enjoy this beautiful work from one of the most well-respected photographers in his field, the amazing Paul Massey. I just love how the color pops out in his shots!

So much inspiration!

I just had to share this fabulous post from Desire to Inspire. There is just so much inspiration in every inch of this space, I couldn't resist.

TUMBLEWEED AND DANDELION

If you want the look of Pippa and Richards' Hawaiian dream home you have to check out Tumbleweed and Dandelion in Venice, CA. They have a beautiful showroom on Abbot Kinney that makes you feel at home. You won't want to leave! I've put together a spread of some of my favorite pieces.
Tin Mirrors, Tumbleweed Buckets, Feedsack and Burlap Pillows, Dash and Albert Throws, Pierre Side Table, Sara Smile Armoire, Maison Reve Farm Table , British Raj Lantern, Vintage Bread Box, Adirondack Rocker

I was just in their shop the other day and it's not just about the furniture, but their candles are delicious! Beach Days and Tuberose are perfect for the weekend. Light the candle, open up the windows, make a lovely brunch, maybe a mimosa, and then sit down and curl up against one of their super comfy burlap down filled pillows with a book. Sounds like my kind of day! Tumbleweed and Dandelion also offers painting services. Now you don't have to wait years to have that get that perfect weathered look. They specialize in layered patinas and aged finishes as well as hand painted murals, lettering and decorative patterns.

STILL IN LOVE!

I picked up the last issue of Domino Magazine from my piles of magazines and fell in love all over again. This magazine is so jam packed with amazing interiors, stories, and products that I can look through these over and over again and find new inspiration each time. I could not get over the spread "Live the Dream" about Pippa (love that name) and Richard Imrie's Hawaiian Vacation home built on a former pineapple plantation...awww! Richard built this home from the ground up and gave it that worn-in cottage feel.


The pine planks are weathered to perfection, the furnishings... slipcovered and all about comfort, well worn pine tables, industrial light fixtures integrated perfectly, and my favorite element is the turqouise and yellow window frames, and louvered doors throughout.


The bedrooms have that summer camp slumber party feel that in it's own gives this home such an inviting energy. I want to be here with a ton of books, my yoga mat, some canvases and a sketchbook and I would be living my dream! Check out more of Ken Kochey photography...so natural and happy. These smiles will make you smile. Seriously!
