Inspiration

My inspiration for our home comes in waves, and I've had a bit of a dry spell for the past few months. Sorry for the silence. Moving forward I'm going to try to simplify things on the blog with a simpler design and with more frequent, but shorter, posts. Sound good?

We've been working on a few projects around the house, but sometimes I get bogged down and frustrated by the snail's pace at which we seem to move.

And boom, just like that I buy an orchid and all of a sudden I feel inspired again. May sound silly, but sometimes it's the little things like that that motivate me to clean my room just so I can see how things like the orchid look when the room is at its best.

Before (which was always just temporary):

I pinned the image below on Pinterest and shopped around the house + bought my orchid to see what I could come up with for the dresser in our bedroom.

I paired a sweet little lamp we got for our wedding on top of some North Carolina books that my boss gave me.

Leaning against the lamp I framed this tiny picture of our house that the original owners left behind for us. I love the picture in the forefront paired with the painting of our home hanging over the dresser.

Orchid!
