{what a girl wants}

As you {may} know, we recently moved. This has struck a 'create / decor / organize' nerve in me. I'm anxious to get painting. After finding a couple of colors and splashing them around our little space, we may have found the paint. But, on to more depth. What I really want....is wallpaper! I know, right?! Crazy. Hello....we rent. One could say, "It's not happening. Be happy that you can paint". But, I personally don't like that answer.

Last week, I scouted out contact paper, thinking I could make a temporary solution. All I want to know, is where was I when the Tempaper buzz was going around?! Apparently not within ear shot. Fear not though, I stumbled upon this ideal solution (particularly for renters). Tempaper offers a variety of removable / temporary paper (thus the name)!!!! Yay for us. I saw some other temporary papers from a few locations, but not nearly the stock options.

I'm seeing some design in my near future. Hmm. Though the selection is limited, I will not push my luck any further and will be happy with the choices.









What do you think?! Should we be so daring?

{loving these....}

...online-only items from Urban Outfitters. Hoping to add them to my home soon.

Here's to a lovely spring Sunday!

{do I need this? no. do I want this? yes.}

This past weekend, after taking breakfast at a charming Crêperie...

Mister, Brother and my brother's GF all posied* around 23rd. I love visiting Portland. I do. We went in shop after shop, including Paper Source. Of course it's not a new shop to people, but it's a paper shop...and there's something completely wonderful about a paper shop. Be it big, or small I always delight in the little treasures that are cramped together in every little possible place imaginable.

I'm just going to say it: I've never been a big 'butterfly' person. {Well, except when it comes to the name in French. I sort of love, 'papillon'…} But, apparently I liked butterflies on Saturday. Every time I saw the reoccurring theme, my heart smiled. "Oh look at this, honey! Don't you think we need this?" ....and the rest is as you can imagine.
Do I need these? no. Do I want these? yes.




à la prochaine !

{*Yes, yes....posied may seem like a strange word to you, but I had no other way to describe the feeling of walking around. Perhaps I made up the word; I cannot be certain. All I know, is that it exists in my vocabulary...but, that's not saying much, since I apparantly make up words often.}
