When life gets hectic, it's the little things..

Phew...sorry for the neglect this week! I have a lot of major deadlines this week..my average bedtime the past two weeks has been 3 AM. Anyway, I figured I'd take time today to post some eye candy, not only to inspire you, but also to give me a much needed break from my current projects. Here are some little (and big) pleasures to indulge in if you can...

a peaceful soak

a meal enjoyed without TV and catching up with those you live with but don't necessary get to talk to everyday!

A beautiful place to read...

The piece you've had your eye on for ages and finally get to bring home

Get that "simple life" feeling in your home

There is something to be said for the simple life. Impossible as it seems to attain, I find that I always feel more at ease when my surroundings are cheerful, airy, and filled with meaningful objects - not "filler" objects. Whenever I visit my parents on the farm, I'm always inspired by the way country life just seems to present you with such objects in abundance. My mom's baked goods on the table, the stack of wood by the fireplace, the collection of straw hats hanging up by the screen door...
These images inspire me to find and create the same comfort in my home, and I hope they do the same for you.
