outfit (house) in action: new couches have arrived

the couches! they've arrived and i'm in love (and emilio is already playing king of the castle). the ethan allen delivery men came saturday morning with these little treasures and i couldn't be happier with the outcome. hearts to you, ethan allen, especially for delivering three weeks early. the next step is finding a table for the tv, throw pillows, and the curtains finished and hung. more photos to come as i make progress!




ps. this is a typical outtake when emilio accompanies me on a photoshoot. "what is this shiny black thing that i am smudging with my nose?"

out with the old, in with the new (couch)

no, this doesn't mean it's arrived. however, it does mean that i'm so excited that i decided to share photos with y'all so you understand what i've been pining away for. we ordered an avanti couch and love seat from ethan allen in blue/grey raffia with nickel nailhead around the bottoms. i die! they should be here by october 14th. counting down the days.

monthly mood board: october

introducing another assignment i've given myself for the blog. on the first of every month i'll be posting a mood board with what inspires me this month. for the month of october i am loving all things black, white and orangey gold. i also believe that clothing design and interior design are 100% intertwined (duh) and so i decided to include both. hope you like.

oh, and i couldn't get the quote high enough resolution to be legible. it says "a line is a dot that went for a walk." - paul klee. i heart it.
