Calendar.


Its not too late to buy a calendar for the year right? Well I found this beauty on Etsy today and a little shop called vanhoosedesign. And it goes with my love for things that look like paint swatches or a color wheel or designy nerd type stuff. So, I'm sharing it with all of you! Meaning... I'm telling you about it, not buying it. But my birthday is coming up soon....



p.s. I'm still working on joining my two blogs, but I am going to consolidate them. This one will merge with my family blog (bethandtj.blogspot.com)

is two better than one?



This image popped up on Ohdeedoh just when I've been thinking about re-doing Kemp's room. We have a few vintage-y things we want to keep for him so I think we're going to get some shelves to display and I just want something other than the animal prints I made in there. His crib is just natural wood, I don't think it even has a stain on it so I think painting it would go really well. I also want to try my hand at upholstering soon.

And on a sort of different note: when I started this second blog I had an idea of what I would do with it. But I have a bad memory, and I've kinda lost my blogging steam. I'm not quitting but I think I should move my two blogs together... What do you think? Would it be better to just have one? Does anyone know how to make two blogs morph into one? Hope everyones weekend goes splendidly.

cooking and laundry


Most days it feels like all I do is cook and clean clothes. And with a son, husband and two boys dogs, everything is always dirty. So heres a kitchen from Coastal Living Magazine that I'm in love with! The faux bois is amazing on the floor, and I'm really loving the pop of yellow.


And I love this room from Canadian house and home magazine and also featured at design*sponge. I love the floral, stripes and map all together. I'm a big fan of mixing prints, I think it adds a good dose of character, charm and is a whole lot more interesting.

did you watch


not from the most recent show but I had this picture, because I love their house.

Did you watch How I met Your Mother on Monday? I am still freaking out. Why did they have the countdown? And why was the ending so sad? Why HIMYM why? On a completely unrelated topic, I may or may not have gotten way too emotional over a fictional TV show.

house inspiration

So, if you haven't, you should check out Design*sponge...I'm not linking to them, they're in my blog roll over there. Every week they host house sneek peeks which are always so inspiring to me. But this one Lara Collins has got me so inspired! I want our house to look pretty much like this. I love the flow of the colors, the whole house is very cohesive. I love the relaxing color scheme. And the artwork everywhere too. And this sneek peek was just up today. Its pretty crazy how much I want to recreate it with out ever seeing it before today. So, thats what is going to keep me busy for the new year.
