All I want in this life of sin is a dutch door.

A spring spruce up is taking place in my kitchen and I'm really excited about it. I added the Kitchen Aide mixer and am learning how to bake. The glass bowl is so visually appealing I love keeping it out on my countertop. If you already have a mixer you can actually purchase the glass bowl seperately and use it to update your current look. I'm thinking of adding the silver hammered canisters to store flour, sugar, etc. I'm also planning on switching out my drawer pulls to the above polished nickel cup pulls. I like the look of a brass finish but I feel like its the new "granite" of kitchens. The market seems to be oversaturated with brash finishes so I'm getting rid of the brass I have now for the nickel.

This I'm into, and you can find a skirt with this look at any price point. Want to drop thousands- here you go. Think it's a trend not worthy of investment, then head to an H&M, F21 etc.

Below are a few of my picks:

I also like the price of this faux suede one and it's lasercut counterpart.

Beach Brain

With my trip just days away I definitely have the beach on my mind. I've started to pack and the above hat and bikini are going to be my uniform in Costa Rica. I love that the hat has a much wider brim than my panama hat- I will definitely need the extra coverage at the beach. I think I may need to grab the shorts too.

Pillow Talk

Switching out bedding is a nice way to welcome spring and change the look of a bedroom. I have all white bedding, although I'm continually drawn to print and love the idea of peppering it in with shams, or a folded duvet at the foot of the bed. I would love to design a kid bedroom. Some of the options are so incredible! Given the chance, I would immediately invest in two single beds with a dresser in between acting as a night stand. For a boy, I'm all over these. I'd do a white duvet and these black gingham sheets. For a girls room I love love this silhouette and fabric.
