Decision made!

So, last night my lady friend and I were strolling around Bed Bath and Beyond for the hell of it while our boyfriends were at home having push up contests (yes, I'm so serious! haha) and I stumbled upon two amazing deals. A festoon valance for the kitchen ($4.99 on clearance) and brand new deep pocket white sheets for our King bed ($23.99 on clearance) I am so happy :)

Below is a picture of the valance (not the panels) for the kitchen! So excited to put everything together and show you guys!

Tier or Tie up?

So as you all know, I am going with more of an eccentric, european country feeling style in my new home. I will finally have a window above my kitchen sink, so to complete my yellow kitchen and blue/green/gray dining room, I am trying to find a window treatment for my kitchen window. I cannot figure out whether I want tier or a tie up valance...maybe even a valance as well as tier? Here are a few, opinions please! Color opinions too, Merci :)

Kitchen Chalkboard

I found the most adorable EXPENSIVE chalkboard for the kitchen today, if only i could afford the $240 Price tag. I want something to write recipes, shopping lists and To Do lists on. This is perfect!

Fabrics

Everytime I am around fabrics, I am always drawn to the baby fabrics, especially retro baby fabrics. Aren't these adorable? I would love to make curtains out of them. How can I incorporate these into my home or wardrobe without screaming "Baby!" ?

Dining Room Inspiration

My Grandpa Angelucci was a wonderful man. Some of my greatest childhood memories are of the days spent at his house on Sunset Beach in California, surrounded by the smells of the ocean and fresh Italian food he made OH SO well from scratch. I cherish these memories, and always will.

Everytime I am at Buca Di Beppo, I think back to Grandpa. Something about the atmosphere makes me think of him. I find myself paying more attention to the walls rather than the food each time I go! So for my dining room wall inspiration, I have decided to go with a Buca Di Beppo-ish wall scene. I love the idea of having several picture frames, each different and unique. I purchased a book at Goodwill called "The Canals of Amsterdam" The book is totally 1970's, but I love the pictures. Right now, I have 5 frames w

ith 5 different pictures of Amsterdam. I'm loving it, but wanting to add in some older pictures of every day life outside of just Amsterdam. I have not seen any pictures of my family from anything pre-1980, so unfortunately Im outta luck in that department. Lets see what I can come up with!
