One of the best things about owning a home for me, is the chance to move from room to room, adding extra layers to the space. I've been thinking a lot about wall art and wall colors lately and different ways to change the walls of my space.


I love the unique materials displayed on these walls. I have a small and growing collection of old photographs that I've picked up at the flea market, that I would love to display on a wall in the entryway. I love the layered look of the photograph wall. So impactful, and exactly the randomness I'm looking for.

I was also excited to find an image of the Cole & Son Woods wallpaper featured behind a bed, which is what I was thinking about doing in our bedroom.

Over the past few years I have started to build a collection of crochet blankets. Two gems found thrifting, one made for me by one of best friend's mothers, and one particularly special blanket made by my grandmother. I love having them in all rooms of the house, close by to cuddle up with. I also love the idea of grouping small crochet pieces together on a wall. I'm thinking this may be a great solution to the large empty wall in the bedroom. Better start searching!

I was introduced to Rifle Paper Co. when I bought these cute recipe cards at work. The cuteness doesn't stop there. I'll take some monogram cards, some doggie cards, and my personal favorite custom illustrated holiday cards . Definitely not in the budget, but a girl can dream.

My obsession with Scandinavian pottery and kitchenware began with finding this Nymolle cup & saucer set at a thrift store a few years ago. In my excitement to show Nicholas my new find, I chipped the cup while unwrapping it. I was devastated. Then in a weird twist of fate I found the same set a few weeks later at a different thrift store. It was just meant to be.





I would really love some Cathrineholm lotus nesting bowls. Or anything Cathrineholm, really! These mid-century beauties were created by Grete Prytz, who was one of the most influential designers in Scandinavia during the mid-century. They would look just perfect in my kitchen!

Plate walls!! I love them. Such a cheap and easy way to make a great statement in a room. I currently have one plate wall in the upstairs bathroom featuring Nathalie Lete plates. Soon there will be a second plate wall in the kitchen. This one featuring random thrift store finds. I love sitting on the floor of a thrift store looking through piles and piles of plates for random beauties.
