Retro Rooms

Stumbled upon these bright retro photos from old homes. I kind of love the bravery of whoever decided to paint their kitchen like this. Not sure I have the guts to do something like that - and I'm positive my husband doesn't. Nor does he want to :)

But I did take the chance to pull a summery color palette out of these awesome photos!
Summer is almost over - that makes me sad... Pulling out every last bit I can!

Summer Suits

So I'm going to be out of town all next week. And when I say out of town, I mean totally no internet, phone or computer... I have to be honest- I'm kinda nervos! Unplugging happens so rarely- most of the time when I go out of town I still work- I have my laptop, I'm in touch with clients over phone, etc. But not this time! I know it will be great for my head and heart to get away from work and internet land for awhile... I'm just going a bit crazy preparing for it this week!

For our trip, we're headed to Lake Shasta to live on a houseboat for a week. I'm expecting to live in my bathing suit the entire time. And for that reason alone, I'm pretty stoked!

So I drew a little illustration (trying to do that more often!) of a girl in a cute little summer suit- getting myself inspired for the trip!



Have you guys been on a summer vacation yet? Had to totally unplug? I hope you get the chance!!

Happy Wednesday!

The Coolest.

How cool are these toasters? I'm in love with the blue one.
Right now our kitchen is so tiny we really have no room for another appliance on our counter tops-
but one day- this little toaster will be where I toast my breakfast bread in the mornings...

Modern Design // Retro Feel

This poster was created in modern times, but the design is so retro. Love that.
Those colors are pretty wonderful too.
