unruly things

our new apartment is perfect.  moving in went super easy and we’re settling in to our new space just great.  it’s funny when you move from a tiny apartment to a large space, no matter how much stuff you’ve got, you realize how much stuff you don’t have.  like, a clock.

our kitchen not only didn’t have a timer, it didn’t have a clock.  I bought a really inexpensive clock from Ace Hardware that’s getting us by for now but I’m still on the look out for cute vintage clocks to place around the house, most importantly, in the bathroom.  I tend to loose track of time when I’m getting ready in the morning, as I’m sure most do, and a cute little clock like these would be perfect.

{btw, thanks Kate, for introducing me to this amaaazing blog filled with beautiful photos and tales of thrifting galore.  seriously friends, go check it out!}

beautiful industrial furniture from Factory 20.  although a smidge over-priced for my wallet, the gorgeous styling and photography make up for that with loads of inspiration.

I’d visited Terrain’s online shop once before Christmas but my visit today left me with a whole new impression considering I’ve got a new home to decorate.

{thanks for pointing me this way, Chelsea!}

seems everywhere I turn lately, I’m finding cute little things to fill up our new apartment.  excellent vintage finds at Hindsvik.

dlb and I are moving!  we’re not yet home buyers, but we’re moving to a fancy new two bedroom apartment in two weeks.  the second bedroom will be dedicated to my shop/studio space for Postal Press.  I couldn’t be more thrilled!

with that in mind, I’ve been jotting down ideas and things I’d like to buy for the new apartment.  since we will have lots of big windows, our plants will be happier.  I’d love one of these new hanging planters from Pigeon Toe Ceramics set to debut just in time, on March 1.

we’ve got a really old rug in our kitchen that has been well loved.  we need a new one.  I really like these brightly colored rugs from Prairie Rugs made from 100% recycled cotton and low impact dyes.

a shop full of odd curiosities and natural wonders?  sounds like just the place for me.

SeeSaw Vintage just opened it’s doors with a brand new vintage etsy shop.  lots of cute things inside but I’m particularly eying this linen tea towel in pretty shades of buttercup yellow flowers.

I love maps.  I could just stare at a map forever and look at how the roads converge and where the cities meet.

I especially love this map from You Me and the Royal We, complete with tiny push pins to mark off the places you’ve been.

it’s fun thinking about ways to decorate a new place… except when you have expensive taste.

drool-worthy industrial furniture from Hudson Goods.
