Distracted By All Sorts of Distractions

Between planning two birthday parties, snow days and my two new obsessions I have been a little distracted lately. It's nice to be back. I have sat down so many times to update my blog and instead of writing I start reading. This is one of my new obsessions. I can't stop reading all of the wonderful blogs out there. One site leads to another then another and before you know it a ridiculous amount of time has passed and not one word on my own little site has been typed. My favorite blogs are the ones written by women who are just sharing what's happening in their lives or projects they have finished or recipes they have been working on. It's great. I stay home with my family and it's so nice in the middle of the day when my son is at school and my daughter is napping to sit down and look at all of the pictures and read the funny stories. It's like having a whole bunch of friends here with me.
My second new obsession is decorating my house. I have been so inspired by all of these things I have discovered on blogs recently. My older sister has also been looking at things for us. She is awesome. She has my style pegged. She found this amazing website for vintage posters. I want them all. Seriously, all of them. Here are a few pictures of things I adore:
I love everything about this room. The pictures from floor to ceiling set such a cool tone for the room. I also love the lime green lamp with the orange in the sofa. By the way, the tulips in the vase are the same as the ones I used in my wedding. Obviously I must love those.




























This kitchen makes me want to lay down on it's beautiful brick floor and cry I love it so much. Maybe I should just draw a picture of myself sitting at the table on the dry erase wall so I will never have to leave it.
I will and I repeat will be doing this in my daughter's bedroom. We will hopefully be moving her soon in to our room and we will be moving into a new room. The ceiling in my room (soon to be Harper's room) are perfect for this look because they are curved. How sweet is that?!
Last but not least I will leave you with a sampling of the vintage posters my sister found. They are gorgeous...
