Leaving Hawaii was tough but coming back to Ginger and our sweet little home made me happy!
I thought I'd share some photos of some of my favorite things in our apartment.
This heart dish from Lisa Leonard is absolutely perfect for holding my rings. I picked out the words "truly madly deeply" because isn't that what true love is all about?
My couch is my favorite place for lounging with a colorful throw and nice book. This fun green blanket is from Novica.
I made this menu board for our wedding last year and didn't have the heart to throw it away. It was resting in a corner for awhile and then one day I came home and Matthew had propped it against a cart in our kitchen. So cute and I think it works for now!
Coffee table books! I love my cute little elephant too! It's actually another treasure from Novica, which is one of the coolest online home and gift sites. It's a fair trade website that works with National Geographic to sell hand-crafted pieces from artisans all around the world. This elephant is from India and the green throw above is from the Andes. I'm telling you guys where I got them, but really I just let house guests assume we're huge world travelers hehe just kidding :)
I had been looking for blue lamps for our bedside tables but when I couldn't find any I decided to make my own.
They're a perfect soothing shade of blue!
What are some of your favorite places in your home? I'd love to hear!

ReplyDeleteI loved this post Mara! I think it's important to know the little treasures in you house that truly make it feel like a home. Especially for us newlyweds that can't afford to decorate the way want yet! Totally need to do a post like this! -JB.

That's so cool how you incorporated your menu board into your decor! It's funny cause I did that with a chalkboard I had written my kids schedule on. I didn't have the heart to erase it once they got older, so I kept it and it's propped up in our breakfast nook area. I was going to feature it somehow in one of my posts, and your post gave me a way to do that! Thanks again, you are so inspiring!
