Cape Cod

I'm popping in for a quick post and hello from.....Boston! I don't know how I didn't manage to post on this earlier. My sister graduated from her master's program at Salem State this week and the whole family made it out to celebrate! We've been in Boston where Heather lives for the last two days and tomorrow AM we're packing up the car and heading to CAPE COD for a week!!! I have never been and I'm so incredibly excited. If I had to describe my personal design style I would have to say Cape Cod is it.

This definitely isn't the time of year for lounging on the beach, but that's just fine! We have tons of exploring planned.

I can't wait to soak up every last minute and load up on inspiration!

I've gotta run! David has never been to the East Coast and we can't leave Boston without a trip to Fenway Park. The Red Socks are playing the Cubs and we're squeezing in a trip!

If anyone has any tips or must-visits in Cape Cod I'd love to hear them!

Breakfast of Champions

I woke up this morning in need of some inspiration and something different. Normally I would be sharing pictures of inspiring interiors or current design projects and ideas in the works. But, this morning I'm cooking instead. I find cooking to be extremely therapeutic. Some of my favorite moments are cooking in the kitchen with David who happens to be quite the chef. In college whenever I had late design classes - I'd always come home to wonderfully home-cooked meal. His signature dish was pork chops with an apple chutney. Cooking together always takes me back to our little tree house apartment.

I took inspiration for this morning's meal from Sara at Sprouted Kitchen. Reading her blog is definitely a treat. Her talented husband, Hugh is a photographer. Hugh happened to have gone on Semester at Sea with the Best Man in our wedding. We desperately tried to book him for our wedding but someone had already snatched him up. Lucky them! : )

The ingredients for this breakfast are pretty simple.

Whole Wheat Tortillas (you can use flour or even corn)

Eggs (or egg whites would be a good healthy option)

Jack Cheese (or any cheese)

Spinach (for big muscles)

tomatoes

onions

basil

avocado

Cut the tomatoes in half a roast them in the oven at 325 for about 20 mins or until the onions turn slightly brown. Do this in the beginning while you're preparing the rest of the meal.

I forgot about mine and they turned a little more than slightly brown - still good though!

I warmed the tortillas straight over the stove flame to get them nice and toasty.

Pile it all in and enjoy!

Remember these? They were Trevor's handy work too!

Loving Right Now....

Oy Vey it's been 2 weeks since my last post!! Atlanta was a blast! It was freezing cold, but that was kind of fun for a Southern California girl who doesn't experience as much weather as she sometimes would like to. With that said, I couldn't have been happier to be welcomed home by the heavenly Summer-like weather. I have some fun things to post about coming up here soon - but I haven't quite gotten my pictures together. In the mean time, I just stumbled upon this sweet company and had to share. Meet the Dupps Family.

"Kathy, Rally and their two small children decided to hit the road when the economy bit the dust and relocated to the island paradise of Bali, Indonesia." With his background in architecture and her background in interior design, they created one killer textiles company named KatherineRally.

Their color palette and patterns are tapping in to my Summer craving!

Happy Friday!

Inspiration

Can you tell I'm procrastinating on posting my flea market finds?? I think photos look so much better with morning light or daylight for that matter. A typical morning for me consists of me reluctantly rolling out of bed (I'm a night owl - not a morning bird!) scrambling to get in the shower, scrambling to get ready, (I unfortunately do not usually eat breakfast, so there's no actual scrambling happening) and scrambling out of the door. By the time I get home from work it is more often than not, dark. I've begun to notice that when I take pictures at night, all of my pictures come out with a yellow hue that nighttime light gives. Long story short - I'm hoping to wake up early enough to take photos of my finds in the morning, and promise to post soon - I promise!

In the meantime I'm in serious need of some inspiration for my master bedroom re-do

{I know this is more in the guest room department - but I'm loving the idea of an old pine dresser for a nightstand}
