She’s just timeless in my opinion.  I truly hope then if I ever have a little girl someday, she loves Nancy as much as I did (and of course, her sidekicks Bess and George).  Kind of regretting that I didn’t keep my stash of books though!  Oh well!

If you love Nancy as much as I do, Fred Flare is your must-go-to source for all things Nancy!  Check out a few of my favorites below…

Absolutely in love with this DIY felt wreath, spotted over at Purl Bee (blog of Purl Soho, one of my all-time favorite NYC destinations!) I’m thinking with the white felt, and neon thread that this is a wreath that can be kept up year round!  Going to try this at home, but thinking about cutting the backing down from a big square to more contoured to the wreath.  Thoughts?

Made with this awesome thread (BEYOND obsessed…)

There is so much to love in these interiors!  Fuchsia candles.  Eclectic mix of furnishings.  Kitschy kitchen decor.  Stacks and stacks of books.  Multi-colored ghost chairs.

Perfect way to start my weekend!  Hope you have fun plans!

I’m back and roaring to go!  Was actually roaring to go yesterday, but something very big (and VERY AWESOME) went down at work so I got a little distracted (and a serious case of the hypers).  Loving that this post combines two of my favorite things, kitsch decor and find the bailey.  If you haven’t played find the bailey yet, you are looking for an decor item that features dachshunds (click an image and look for the paws to see if you got it correct!)

I’ve been in love with Paint By Numbers for a while now (trying to find some vintage kits if anyone has a source!) Totally loving that these interiors have entire walls  dedicated to this vintage (and kitschy) craft.

So some of you may know I took about a month off from blogging this summer.  I was just really lost and confused with what I was posting, and who I wanted to be as a blogger.

Since then, I’ve come back more engergized and inspired than ever!  I made a promise to myself though to not just post any old thing (I used to make sure I had at least two posts a day, oh the trials and tribulations of a new blogger!)

Mainly:

• I want to post things that I love.
• Things that inspire me.
• Things I want to own or decorate with.
• Interiors that are 100% my aesthetic.

As a result, the past two days of posts have been a little thin/non-existent (I’ve started about 6- 7 different posts and just left them in the draft stage –> they just aren’t me!)  Hoping to go back to my inspiration board and come up with some super fun stuff for you all next week!

Here’s to hoping we all find at least one thing that inspires us this weekend!  The above image is via lulaland on flickr.

And in with the ‘In My House’ blog (don’t worry, I’ll probably come back to some kitschy goodness sometime soon…)  The blog is in Swedish so I think I’m missing some of the writing, but does it really matter when the photos are this fabulous?  Serious antler envy…

I’m not sure if this is better than my neon obsession two weeks ago, but recently I’ve been obsessed with all things kitsch.  I want a whole apartment dedicated to all things kitsch (maybe when I get my dream lakehouse i’ll decorate it in the kitsch).

Along these lines, how amazing are Leah Giberson’s prints?  I’m in kitsch heaven (and yes, if you were counting, this post uses the word kitsch 6 times, that has to be a record of some sort).

Then with a card full of bacon?  YUM-MO!

Suffering from a terrible case of the Mundays (spelled that way on purpose) today… Maybe I wouldn’t if I had started my day right, drinking my coffee out of a rainbow mug.

I did a fashion degree but am always in jeans and sneakers.
I am scared of snakes, clowns and nylon.
I knocked out my front tooth with a lawnmower.
I love ELO.
I am a displaced Londoner in Sydney.

Now you all know how much I need color in my life so it might catch you off guard that the below image is part of my dream space file.  There is something so warm and inviting about built-in bookcases, and I love that they let their books and objects paint the space.

I’m a huge fan of Tim Degner’s hipster fonts and patterns (wonder if he is single?!? )  Too bad he lives across the country…

In love with this Brooklyn space that I stumbled across via Flickr (my new obsession is to browse Flickr while on my elliptical machine in my apartment, Elle Woods Style).  I love how bright and colorful their apartment is, and they didn’t change the paint (for those of you stuck with blah white paint, this is definitely the way to go!)

Seriously in to the multi-media collage work by this Flickr Artist (an artist whose work is only on Flickr?)

This fox rocks his ’70s sweater in style on this 5×7 print, designed by Hillary Bird on Etsy.  He’s one hip cat.   I mean fox.  Whatever…

Pip and Estella is “A decor shop inspired by the lovely and eccentric aesthetic of the aging mansion, Satis House as described in the Charles Dickens novel, Great Expectations.”  To me it’s a great source for vintage finds. They actually group their items into ‘Houses’ so you can either buy one item, or the entire set to decorate a whole room (I purchased a vintage caraffe and candlesticks from them that are now sitting prominently in my kitchen!)

They recently moved on to vintage linens, launching their very own ‘Vintage Via’ line (modeled after found patterns and prints).  I love the idea of getting a vintage pattern without the vintage stains left by someone else!

Below are my four favs, but make sure to head over to see the other patterns they offer!

No seriously, they are.

So when I meet Mr. Right, he proposes, and I am planning my wedding, I need to remember these fun place settings!
