Hay

It started with the minimalist bed linens

then I realized they had these sweet rugs

cool storage

and even killer tea towels

and now I am obsessed with Hay and any thing they have to offer. It is so me. I would love those bed linens and rug in my bedroom right now.

Weekend Finds

Who finally scored some air plants this weekend? We were at the Long Beach Flea Market and it was a major bust - I found nada. But Alec spotted these little guys for $2 each so I was elated.

Oh, and before that I scored this killer wool blanket for $10 at the thrift store after a quick peek inside. Lev wasn't letting me shop, so I just snatched this up and hoped it would be decent upon closer inspection when I got home. And it is better than I thought. Really thick, no holes, no smells, reversible. Now that its washed, it is happy in our bedroom for the winter.

Hope you had a nice long weekend too.

Changes Around The House

New year + new baby on the way + Craigslist finds = changes around the house. Whether it was slight updates to the living room and guest room or bringing the contents of the playroom downstairs to free up a bedroom for a new nursery, here are the changes that were made in the past few weeks/months.
LIVING ROOM

Gotta love a $40 credenza made of teak. Who could resist?

 And a Noguchi style coffee table and new NuLoom chevron rug just to mix things up.

PLAY ROOM

Most of Lev's toys found room on the shelves and drawers in the family room downstairs, and the rest we cleared out.

 Its nicer having him play downstairs when we are in the living room.

And the new additions of a cute triangle rug and bentwood nesting tables make me happy.
GUEST ROOM

And the credenza that was our media center moved up to the guest room, along with a rug that I bought before I knew the baby's gender. And with that I decided the guest room needed more of a SoCal vibe for our guests who came to visit LA. 

The nursery is in progress. I'm still putting together my wish list and nothing is assembled yet. But now that these other rooms are settled, the nursery will come to fruition in the next few weeks most probably.
