{our future nest}

i definitely look forward to the day my hubby and i own

our very own place

and have the freedom to do with it what we please.

i am going to have a slendid time dressing it up to reflect my style.

oh, i mean our styles ;)

and creating a warm, cozy, and compelling space

a place where i will love to be.

and where others {family & friends} will love to be.

 aren't these spaces just lovely {and inspiring}?

i would take any of them in a heartbeat.

if i had to choose just one that best fits my style i think it'd be the kitchen.

{though the white, anthropologie-esque living room is a very close 2nd}.

i just adore the cream-colored old-school cupboards.

and in my opinion, turquoise is the perfect color for a kitchen.

it pervades my current kitchen in the form of colanders,

teapots, vases, stockpots (thank you, Martha Stewart.)

i just can't seem to get enough of it.

another thing i love about the room is the abundance of light.

i like sunlight. a lot.

particularly in the wintertime when we here in the
mitten state get very little of it.

i felt it today for the first time in what seemed like weeks

and it felt absolutely glorious.
