just in time for fall...

i love fall weather. it means jean jackets, scarves, tights, and boots. since i'm rather rotund this fall, clothing shopping has become less fun. i've been focusing instead on scarves because you can wear them no matter what size you are! the blog sfgirlbybay featured these lovely scarves. if i had an extra $30, i would DEFINITELY buy this scarf in mustard.

i love this.

i love this combination of a tulip table with the orange bertoia chairs. i think it would go nicely with the rest of my house. too bad it's expensive...i'll be happy with the one bertoia chair i found at a flea market:).

i want my bedroom to look like this. it's so simple and peaceful.

i might have a problem...

does the top of this light fixture look dusty to anyone besides me? i'm just sayin'...

yes, i'm a nerd

the artistic side of me would love not to notice this....but does it bother anyone else that the phrase spray painted on this cabinet is grammatically incorrect? "everything in it's place?" hmmm, it seems this is one of the most common grammatical mistakes. i totally get it; i can see the logic in making "it" into its possessive form. But wouldn't you double check before posting the picture on a widely viewed public forum?

opinions, please

i'm considering this vintage herman miller coffee table as a replacement for our current table (see previous post about my o.c.d). i figure it's nice and sturdy, and the little one can color on it, eat on it, etc. any thoughts?

weekend trip to ikea + baby stuff

the changing table we bought at ikea this weekend! we have a little sheepskin cover for the changing pad, so it should make it a little cozier.
this is the fabric we bought from ikea for the baby's duvet cover.
our high chair from ikea.
cute little wooden toy we bought at ikea...i'm hoping we'll have mostly wooden and non-battery operated toys...we'll see if the family cooperates:)
our crib from ikea.
the print i just bought from etsy for the little one's room. i'm thinking i'll spray paint an old picture frame bright orange and have a nice matte cut.

i love these bright garlands from etsy. the baby's room will be either off white, pale gray, or pale blue. i figure that way i can add tons of bright accents without looking too circus-y.
same ideas as above...also from etsy.

i just bought these little patches from etsy to stitch onto his tiny little cardigans.
ernie just bought these for me from etsy! they're even cuter in person
i ordered this from etsy a couple of weeks ago. it's very cute, but teeny tiny.

okay, i'll promise not to make all of my posts baby-related. i just had to get that out of my system:).
