The Friday Five: Bookcases

I am currently drowning in work. There’s a lot going on in my PhD life at the moment – all exciting and challenging stuff – which means that my eyes are tired from reading, my brain hurts from thinking, and I fear my fingers will soon be stuck in a perma-typing position. So, in the spirit of hard academic work, today’s post is all about fabulous home libraries.

Paper flower inspiration

Happy first day of spring!

As we wait for the season’s fresh blooms, I’m totally in love with and inspired by Balushka‘s over-sized paper flowers. Easy décor for any wall- but I think I’d like to place these in a hallway where people tend to just wiz through.

Wouldn’t these give you reason to pause?

Pop Up! Scotland

by Corie

Last summer my husband and I ventured to Scotland for a few days. It was a huge treat to see the dramatic landscape, meet some great people, try haggis and get to explore a fabulous new (for us!) country.

A trip to Scotland wouldn’t be complete without touring a whiskey distillery so we opted to go to Dalwhinnie, which is located in the stunning Highlands. It was a perfectly moody Scottish day to sit inside and enjoy a dram and stare at the beautiful architecture!
