Lune

I am loving this video, what an incredible advertisement.  It makes me want to go get a Volvo right and runaway to Iceland or Sweden. 

Ever since I started watching Mad Men I have been really thinking about what goes into advertising.  What a creative and interesting job.

Monday, Bedroom Love



It's Monday and I had a really hard time getting out of bed this morning.  If I woke up in one of these bedrooms, I probably would never get out of bed.

Weekend Food Ideas

This couscous salad from Shutterbean looks so delicious and fresh that it immediately made my must make this weekend list.  Enjoy Happy Weekend!

House Envy

Did you see Jessie Webster's house, she blogs at Sweet Thing Blog, on Design Sponge?  I really want to live in a space like this, it is so beautiful.  It's warm and cozy, yet modern and well styled.  I just love it. 

Mad Men

I must be watching too much Mad Men because I can't get this quote by Don Draper out of my head.

In the past two weeks, I have watched seasons 1-4 and man is this show is good.  Don is so smooth, such a dog but so attractive at the same time. 

Downsizing

I often dream of downsizing.  I'm just tired of taking care of a large house.  My current house is about 2600 square feet with a walk out basement, which isn't too large but lately it has been feeling way to big.  I just feel like all my free time is spent on yard work (about 1 acre) and house work.  Plus all my money goes into maintaining the house which leaves very little funds left over for extras/fun.  The problem is my children love this house and it is the only home they have ever known, so downsizing may be a really hard adjustment for them.   Although, children are very resilient.  Who knows, maybe someday.

Both of these houses are around 1750 square feet.  I really love the ranch and its open living space but a two story is cheaper to build and offers a 4th bedroom.
