{5 Lovely Things on Monday}

{1} MY NEW HOME.

{2} Smokey Slate Boudoir

Ok, so it's not really a boudoir but that sounds much sexier than a bedroom.

The very sweet boyfriend helped me paint...AND PAINT...over a glossy coat that covered 9' ceilings & 100+years of "colorful" plaster work which made no clean edges to cut in. We think it looks pretty damn good.

{sadly the video cut off prematurely as my camera died}

{3} The Fiesta is Out!

Obviously this display nook will be much fuller- this is just a sneak preview :)

{4} Anna Maria Horner's Pressed Flowers
from her Drawing Room Line

I have grand plans to cover a sad, patched up chair
I scored @ Gdub for $15 with this oh-so-lovely pattern. Photo cred goes to Kate.

{5} I Want. I Need. This Rug.

Have I mentioned how much I <3 West Elm?
And can you tell yellow is going to be a theme in my new joint?
Now I just have to wait until it goes on sale...

I hope your Monday treated you well.

nitey-nite.

     The weather here continues to be amazing & I could not be happier. I hope you all savor today's lovely things because there will be none next week. :( Yours truly will not have blogging access as I will be a volunteer nurse at Camp Leo!!

you haven't had- in my opinion- the most phenomenal breakfast in the Pacific NW

Jenna: take note, I need these.

{3} FIESTA goodness

Must.start.saving.

Meet FIESTA's 75th Anniversary soup tureen

{4} Pot DIY

Why hadn't I thought of this? 

Thank you Erin of Sunshine & Carousels for sharing your DIYs!

So easy & green :)

{5} Estate Sale Find

On a whim the boyfriend & I wandered into an 

estate sale Sunday where I found this gem for $0.55:

Stay tuned for how I use this vintage light fixture in a future post!
