1 Inspiration for the Living Room | Low and Grey

It's time for a living room renovation at my parent's mid century modern poolhaus.  We ripped up the old green carpet last week, and have been strongly considering concrete floors. The room is long, with two walls of windows, and a long low fireplace.  Our color palette is white, grey, and wood (we have a lot of original wood details).  These images are perfect inspiration, I hope our end product looks like this.

0 NW 13th Avenue Loft

NW 13th Avenue Loft from Jessica Helgerson Interior Design ....So many good things here. The living room and bathroom are absolute perfection, in my opinion.  The kitchen is great with the big wood table and oversized pendant light.  The graphic tapestry heaboard is well done, especially with the monochromativ bathroom.  I'd like to move in now.

So, I think I may have hinted before that we were having some issues with our apartment.  Basically we have been having a pest control issue for months at this point.  Our little, um...friends, who we lovingly named Rat Ghost and Vern are quite persistent and smart (unlike the management of our complex).  After patiently, but frustratingly, dealing with this problem we have to move out.  So...we have been on a mad hunt to find a new apartment.  

Given this, you can probably understand why I needed some nice calming inspiration today...

7 Bedroom Sneak Peek...

I know I've been way MIA around here, and as I've explained I hate it.  So...here is some proof of what I've been up to.  It is by no means finished, but I wanted to give you a little sneak peak at our house...well of my bedroom at least.  It's a little further along than the other spaces. What do you think?!

2 New Art

I'm in the market for some new affordable art. I ordered these two prints from Mammoth Collection yesterday that I'm super excited about!


I'll be honest, although I love them and what they are doing, I get a little frustrated with the shipping costs of many of the affordable art sites (like 20x200 and Little Paper Planes).  It's probably totally justifiable on their end, but often causes me to second guess my purchases.  BUT, right now Mammoth Collection is offering 25% off every print in their collection using the discount code "FATHERSDAY"...more than makes up for shipping costs.  Thanks Mammoth Collection!


Anyone have any other art suggestions for me, and/or discount shipping codes!?
