Minneapolis' new home decor store

Enter The Foundry Home Goods, Minneapolis' newest home decor store. Rustic and decently affordable, The Foundry is the most recent addition to one of my favorite neighborhoods; The Northloop. Head over to Midwest Home Mag to read Katie Dohman's review, and check out The Foundry's website here.

Carrie Bradshaw's Apartment

When I was younger, I totally wanted my "future big kid apartment" to look like Eric, Jack and Rachel's place on Boy Meets World. But now, I can't be the only girl who wishes she lived in Carrie Bradshaw's Manhattan apartment. I especially love her little writing area (and DUH THAT CLOSET.)

Zara Home

Anyone else get an email from Zara yesterday morning that made their day a little brighter? The U.S. website now has home goods! Here's to making our abodes a little classier, and a little sassier. A few of my favorites: 

Reese Witherspoon's charming California home

Reese Witherpoon's beautiful ranch home in Ojai, California confirms to me that I not only love her personal style when it comes to clothing, but interiors too. Recently featured in Elle Decor, the home is equal parts "fresh, youthful, and traditional." See more pictures here. 

Creative workspace of the day.

Yeah. No words? Me neither. This is the workspace of Kelly Framel of the fashion blog The Glamourai. See more pictures here. 

Urban Cottage

Pink as a neutral. Thoughts?

Most coveted closet award goes to...

This adorable lady is Myka of Sitting Tree Events, the California-based wedding planning company. While most of my outfits always have some sort of nod to tomboy style, my eyes will always light up seeing feathers, ruffles, sequins, and pink next to each other in a closet. Peep more of her closet and apartment over on The Collection Event blog. 

Green Thumb

There's something about green plants in a room that give it so much life. I'm determined to makeover my non-existent green thumb (I actually killed bamboo which is damn near impossible to do) to bring a little green pizazz to my bedroom. Here's some of my inspiration:

Spring Decorating

Long have I avoided putting anything in jars as a form of decorating since it has recently become somewhat of a cliche  (THE HIPSTERS ALL OVERDID THE MASON JAR ISH AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT K FINE I HAVE ONE I PUT MAKEUP BRUSHES IN WHY AM I YELLING?) but I may have to cave when decorating this spring. This simple jar filled with white flowers is just too fresh-looking to pass up.

Midnight Snack Box

I'll be honest, I'm a nurturer by nature. (Hahahah, get it? I didn't even try to set that up. Roll with my unintentional puns.) I get it from my mother. She's one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know. We both like doing fun little things like this for the people we care about. 

Check it out. 

How welcoming of a treat would this be for guests crashing at your house? They don't have to worry about being hungry post-bed time, they can dig into their midnight snack box for a treat. What a creative way to make people feel right at home.

I would love to post up in this modern Swedish townhouse, wouldn't you? So crisp!

Where You Live, Influences How You Live

Or so goes my own theory. I feel like my creativeness would be bursting at the seams living in a borderline-magical designer workspace like this one.
