A little bit of inspiration …

IMG_9892133scolorful-furniture2IMG_9699

Hey guys! Hope you are all having a great start to the long weekend … Mine will involve a little bit of relaxing … and a lot of work! J and I started off the morning at Crema coffee shop (independent shop with amazing coffee here in Toronto – we love it there) … also made a pit stop at Starbucks since all of the reusable tumblers were 20% off for Earth Day – I lost my old one and needed a new one (in my efforts to save money … trying to bring my own coffee each morning to work rather than making my usual coffee run … it really starts to add up!).. I thought I would also share a couple of “inspirational” photos from a little folder I had saved on my laptop … the top photo is just the style that J and I both love – vintage inspired but with a modern twist! I love the rustic feel of the exposed brick and bursts of colour throughout the room – recently J and I have acquired couple of vintage solid wood pieces which I am going to be refinishing… I do not know how many of you guys are really interested in this sort of thing but I thought it might be fun to share the progress with you … they are currently stored in the garage where I will be working on them … still debating whether I want to finish them in white or black … I am leaning towards white. I am off to eat some dinner, check emails and hopefully finish the night with a warm chocolate bubble bath (love the Philosophy brand for this!)…Hope you all have a great weekend!
