I know crests is kind of a strange thing to daydream about, but when I spotted that chair above, I couldn’t get it out of my brain. Yes, it was the black and gold, but it was also the shape. I just love how it can be both modern and traditional. Come back tomorrow for a fun crest related freebie!

What is it about these adorable kids in these pictures that make me want to stock up my kitchen for rainy day movies & baking? Sigh! I wish my niece and nephew were closer so I could reenact these scenes.

Has the spring rain hit where you are?

I can’t get enough of wallpapers these days. There always seems to be a new one I claim I’m going to cover my house in. This time I mean it! Look at these amazing wallpaper designs by Deborah Bowness. How can you not want this in every room? The little vintage dresses in my closet. The bookcases in our play room. The lamps and chairs in the living room. You get the point. You can see and buy the whole collection on her website or at The Paper Room.

Which one is your favorite?

Daydream In Planters

Vintage Bathtub With Stand ($250) | Cast Stone Planter With Sage DIY Kit ($18) | Alpaca Garden Planter ($58) | Green Jonna Planter ($20) | Stackable Planter ($59)

I’ve been reading a bunch of books from the library about the advantages of container gardening. I’ve yet to figure out what I’m doing in my own garden, but in the meantime I’m definitely daydreaming of a colorful and eclectic garden with fun planters.

PS: I still love these honeycomb planters too.

Do you garden in planters? Raised beds? Straight into the soil?

{Early Freebie Friday} Patterned Hearts

February 12, 2013 – 6:30 am

I know I know. Freebie Friday on a Tuesday? Well, I’m always at a loss when it comes to Valentine’s Day. It’s right after Christmas and right between both A & my birthdays. It’s so hard to think of so many gift ideas! Do you have this problem? I always end up opting for little sweet homemade gestures. A wakes up before me because he takes much longer to get ready (somehow he’s the girl when it comes to primping). Last year I surprised him with a card and banner posted on his bathroom mirror. I’m thinking of incorporating these patterned hearts this year. Maybe a trail with little reasons why he’s awesome on the back of each heart. I thought you might need a little boost with ideas too so I’m sharing early.

These would be cute strewn across a table any day of the year. Cute for even those un-valentine’s day peeps out there. When I was single, I used to hang out with my girlfriends on Valentine’s Day. It was always just as fun! Bring out those rom-coms!

Daydream-In-Color-Freebie-Friday-How-To

Supplies:

  • Template
  • Paper (plain copy or cardstock)
  • Printer
  • Scissors

Directions:

  1. Click on template to open.
  2. Print on copy or cardstock paper.
  3. Cut around each heart.
  4. Toss them on a table, dot them on the floor leadinging to a room, or write little sweet nothings on them.

Arrows are awesome. Their bright colors, as signs, as captions. I’ve always loved doodling arrows. I figured with Valentine’s Day coming up, it was the perfect time to daydream in arrows. Maybe use them to hint at what you want from your sweetie this year!

Daydream In Ice Blue

Eiffel Tower Headband ($23) | Polka Dot Candles ($5) | Lulu Frost for J.Crew Crystal Earrings ($118) | Giant Bicycle ($410) | Blue Mushroom Woodland Scene ($28) | Powder Blue Dress ($75) | Wish Bracelet ($19) | Glass Tumblers ($24) | Sunshine Showers Raincoat ($158) | Topshop Cat Sweater ($76) | Handknit Blue Over The Knee Socks ($50) | Delphite Juicer ($55)

On New Years Eve, A’s parents, A, and I headed to Mt. Hood to go sledding. I’d never sledded before & I was totally freaked out, but once I saw how much fun they and A were having I had to join in. It was a blast! We loved stomping in the snow and making snow angels. The ice was such a pretty powder and an ice blue that I can’t get out of my mind. So, today’s post is all about this chilly and pale yet beautiful color.

Daydream In Stone Marble

December 27, 2012 – 6:30 am

Daydream-In-Marble

Marble Title Background | Marble Wallpaper (€67.50) | Marble Pastry Board ($130) | Michael Kors Marble Print Dress ($1013) | Marble Salt Box ($26) | Vintage Marble Lamps ($695/2) | Marble Cake Stand ($128) | Marble Butter Keeper ($16) | Marble Print Flats ($78) | Marble Rolling Pin ($90) | Marble Cheese Board With Slicer ($13) | Marble Mortar & Pestle ($14-25) | Marble Cord Necklace (£28) | Saarinen Round Dining Table ($1800-4645) | Marble Fruit Bowl ($50)

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of marble. Since getting our new home, I’ve been obsessing about the stuff and I want every antique marble table or marble top dresser we come across. I don’t know what it is. Its beautifully natural pattern, its cold smoothness, or maybe even the thoughts of rolling out pie dough on a cold winter’s day. I just can’t get enough of it these days. I was lucky enough to get a marble pastry board from my bff one year that has a permanent place on my counter for when the baking (or cold stone-ing) urge hits. Now I was to deck out the rest! (If marbling in the colorful graphic sense is more your thing, check out this past daydream post!)

{Wish I Was Wed} Shawn Clover

November 28, 2012 – 6:30 am

Since we are in the mood of celebrating what we’re thankful for, I thought these amazing photos by Shawn Clover (via WATC) were worth sharing. He merged images from the San Francisco 1906 earthquake with the present and the results just make me think twice.

Have you ever been in an earthquake?

{Wish I Was Wed} Jacqueline Lou Skaggs

October 31, 2012 – 6:30 am

Happy Halloween! I remember when I was a little trick or treater. This elderly lady in the neighborhood handed out pennies. We were so confused, but today I am just in love with these tiny works of art on pennies by Jacqueline Lou Skaggs. The detail on each oil painting is surprising. I’ve always had a thing for miniature (like these books) and this just touches on that.

Which is your favorite?
