cozy home

Lately I have been imagining how I am going to decorate our little house in Marion. It's tough to decide, and I really haven't gotten anywhere yet. I know that a few trips to IKEA will provide some useful inspiration and a bit of a shove in the decision making process. But right now I can only dream about my cozy white kitchen, fluffy white bedding, and the natural soothing vibe I want to feel when I enter each room of the house. I'd say that is a good starting point for now.

And my home wouldn't be complete without a little kitten baby like this guy. Let's hope that eventually Jordan will let me have one :-)

Orla Kiely

The patterns of the Irish fashion designer Orla Kiely are everywhere. Whenever I step into a shop in Dublin, I recognize her design right away. It is unique, simple, and usually colorful and cheery. At first I thought she only designed stationary, but she actually has a wide variety of products selling all over the world.

I have not seen one thing of hers I haven't liked, especially the kitchenware. I bought an Orla Kiely journal today. I got super excited about the texture of the cover and the paper inside...I can't wait to write in it.
