....just in time for the weekend! i'm heading to the quilt show this weekend and will have lots of photos (and i'm sure lots of new fabrics!) once i return. but for now, here are some beauties!

lovin' it!

inspiration.

i'm dying for some inspiration here on this stormy rainy day (though it seems to have let up a bit since i got out of work...)! here are some things to make it all a little brighter around here :) enjoy your weekend!!

new apartment update!

well, we found an apartment and are going on sunday to check it out one last time, sign the lease, and pay our security deposit and pet deposit and 1/2 month's rent (we can start moving may 15th)!! the place is first and second floor (!!!!!), and although its not a giant apartment, its going to be quirky and great -- downstairs: sun room, living room/dining room/kitchen all open together, good sized bathroom. upstairs: two bedrooms and a great hallway for artwork <3 [the sunroom is going to be great, we're thinking it will probably house pat's electric drumkit and our office, and possibly our gigantic ikea bookcase...]

the best thing is that i will get my own sewing room (instead of using half of our living room..haha!). i get the smaller of the two bedrooms (which the previous tenants used as a nursery)... i'm going to try to make the room as girly as possible, while still keeping it modern and funky. here are a few inspiration photos for color and design:






my hope is that we'll be able to fit a futon in the room, so we can have guests.. but i'm not sure how much room will be left when i get all of my stuff in there ;)

here's some other great dec inspiration pics, for fun...

decor inspiration...

as always, i'm collecting inspiration for our new apartment (that has yet to be chosen)... can't believe we only have about 4 1/2 weeks until we move! ack!! we've looked at one place so far (which we liked, but may be a tiny bit expensive for the amount of space), with one or two more on tap for this weekend. the onslaught should come after people give their notices on may 1st *much like ourselves!* can't wait! i've been budgeting and marking so many things on etsy as favorites (fabric, art, etc) -- and we will have a trip to ikea in our future for furniture (read: sofas!) once we get settled in. but for now, collecting collecting collecting. ideas ideas ideas.
