This past week I got a peek at my bestie's beautiful home. It's too perfect for words... truly. After seeing her new space I felt inspired & challenged to devote some time and planning to our living space. For me, it's more of a long term project (I doubt I'll be ready for a home tour till late summer or maybe even Autumn...) but Mr. Larson and I have been planning to do a lot of home updates and projects this summer, after the wedding.
So, without further ado, here are 10 Things I Love... from the insides of other people's homes! enjoy!
1. Even though I have a shop/studio space, I love the idea of working at home. A little creative space is essential! I love this home/work space, seen via The Selby. Pure magic!
2. I'm a fan of this storage system (seen via Poppytalk). It's fun and playful. I would love something of this nature in my dressing room or studio... even the laundry room. It's pretty.
3. I'm all the way into this! The patterned walls are so perfect. Totally love.. lust... want to have something with these shapes in my space. Now I just have to figure out where...? Seen via Design For Mankind.
5. I love these silly things & totally want one.
6. On my 'most wanted list' hanging vintage chairs. L O V E! (seen via Lune)
7. I adore this art! It's the perfect splash of color. (via Apartment Therapy)
8. and this is my other most desired chair. i can't wait to find one someday!! (she's wearing a vintage Pucci dress too... so cute! source)
9. I love these colors & most of all that velvety couch! (via Australian Vogue Living)
10. Last, but not least, Rachel's dreamy home. The houndstooth chair with mustard throw is pretty much perfection. I'm in love!
I'm looking forward to personalizing our newlywed home this summer. It's on my 28 before 29 goal list! Collecting inspiration is so much fun.
XOXO! We're off to our favorite Italian dinner spot for a meeting with our wedding pastor. Happy Sunday! elsie
I love the huge piece of chevron art!

Oh have a good dinner and meeting with the pastor! :) I love these pics. I totally thought about your design aesthetic when I was watching the old movie Suspiria on Netflix. In the early scenes there is an apartment building that a girl runs to (and eventually does not make it out of) but this apartment has the most awesome geometric designs in it...and the color combos are soooo 70's awesomeness. I am not sure if you've seen it, and it moves a bit slow, but is a classic horror movie...so its kinda expected...but you should look through it just to see the room designs! :) Hearts, Janna Lynn

So awesome, I'm pretty obsessed with interior design! I would also love to know, if you don't mind, where you got that heart sweater/cardigan(?)!!...I've been trying to find a really cute one for a while now :)

I'm obsessed with home decor! I wish I had the time, money and motivation to actually put forth effort into making my house (er, apartment) more of a home. I wish I could just snap my fingers & get it done like Mary Poppins!

My grandmother had those hanging chairs! Yes!
If only I were allowed to paint my apartment...

I have a thing for chairs and the hanging chairs and egg chair are totally on my list! I also love Eames chairs - any of them- and the clear Lucite chairs (which Ikea) has a version of.

I absolutely adore Rachel's home decor. Good luck make your own home cozy lady. Hope you have a good meeting with your wedding pastor.
