interior inspiration

i cant stop staring at this room. it seems so utterly simple, filled with neutrals and sparsely decorated - so many of the things i love so very much. 
but there are details that make this room extraordinary - those black handles on the windows, the unusual and unexpected shape of the chair, that touch of elegance in the chrome lamp.
-it feels so beachy & feminine without feeling at all contrived. i would like to sit awhile.

vintage inspiration

 this weekend was full of inspiration. big ripe california berries are starting to roll into the farmers market, suggesting gorgeous earthy, rustic desserts. ill have a recipe to share tomorrow. 
  few amazing vintage finds over the weekend have set off a sublime spark of creativity. a vintage linen from the 1930's or so, complete with the most delicate little repairs, have kept my heart in my throat for the last few days. 

 im excited for a number of things this week and a long awaited trip with friends at the weekend. its been a beautiful start so far -
