Benches and Couches and Lights, oh my.

When I started college I went with Interior Design as my initial major. I say "initial" because as most people know, I graduated with a B.S. in Early Childhood Ed. But initially the idea of designing beautiful rooms sounded right up my alley. That was until I found out about drafting. Tara + drafting= a whole lot of cursing and crying. But, that's what I get for being a perfectionist. You know...the inability to do anything without cursing...and sometimes crying.
I do still have a love for design though. And I think I'd rather be a decorator than a designer anyway. A designer knocks down walls and really re-does a house. I just want to paint, sew and furniture my way to beautiful living. Painting I'm alright at, my sewing machine is still in the box, and I can't afford to buy furniture that I love. But, I will continue to dream of the house I will one day live in.

And here's some of what I'd like to imagine is inside:

Slate Duvet from West Elm (on sale right now!!!) 

 

 

 

 

 

Not for use with children (West Elm)

 

 

Love the warmth of this side table from Pottery Barn

Simple chic (Pottery Barn)

Now I can find my purse! (Crate & Barrel)

 

And of course vino (C&B)

 

Those are some of my dream items. Of course they are all crazy expensive, but I've got to get married and register some day right? Well, maybe.

Happy Saturday afternoon!
