Marketplace: Blankets

Now that my living room has been painted, new blinds have been installed, and new furniture has made it into the space, I’m now in the market for some accessories. Namely, blankets. We have about 3 more months of winter which means…brr…we have a few more months of chilly weather. My existing blankets are brown (that go very well with my teak furniture) but I think a light grey or cream would look much better with the Ikat pillows that I have on my couch. Since I can’t afford a gorgeous Hermès blanket (oh so pricey!), I’ve set my sights on some more affordable options.

Design: Parisian Apartments

I’ve been having so much fun searching for possible places to stay in Paris this February. AirBNB – as you may have already heard – has some pretty spectacular options. If money was no object, I would likely book one of these gorgeous homes.

The Friday Five: Church Architecture

High ceilings. Big windows. Lots of seating. I’m talking about churches, of course! The architectural features of these white ones impress me.
