Interiors :: A Bright & Airy San Francisco Victorian Home

If you've noticed an exponential increase in the number of my interiors pins, it's because Ryan and I are just starting to think about buying a house.  While there's still a lot we need to figure out {all I know is we. must. have. an old house}, the idea of it has taken over my brain!  Now I'll be the first to admit that I absolutely love taking a peek into fabulous, luxurious homes {example: this stately New York townhouse}...but lately I've been drawn towards ones that seem more do-able for a first home :) I'm particularly drawn to Miriam Schneider's San Francisco Victorian with it's high ceilings, abundance of natural light, and unique combination of modern & traditional, feminine & masculine.  I love that it feels like a home {versus a showroom} and feels like normal people live there.  And how amazing is that outdoor space?  For more, check out the full Rue Magazine article here.

Travel :: Colorfully

{Saguaro Hotel}

Inspired by Kate Spade's "Live Colorfully" campaign, and the fact that we all need a little bit of color to brighten up a cold winter, this week will be filled with inspiration of the most colorful sort.  So first things first, travel.  Whenever I am traveling I feel like my senses are heightened and I find inspiration nearly everywhere I look.  I would love to visit any {or all} of these beautifully colorful places, especially the striped beach houses of Costa Nova do Prado and the rolling fields of lavender in the South of France.  Heading out for a colorful holiday?  Some of my favorite travel picks are below!
