Inspired by the Clawfoot Tub

I have been drawn to vintage bathroom images lately...

Here is one where they painted the bottom of the tub and sink to match the wall color. It brings a little modern flair to the room.

Keep it simple w/ soft whites and an old bench.

I love the chandelier in this image. They completed the rustic vintage look w/ tin ceiling tiles on the wall and metal sitting chair next to the tub.

Cold = Comfort

Cold weather makes it so hard to eat healthy! Skiing = hot chocolate, watching football on Sundays= pizza and beer and coming home after a long day and taking the dog for a long much needed walk in the 7 degree temperatures does NOT make me crave a healthy salad. I found these healthy pizza recipes from Eating Well so get ready to curl up to a movie and graze! (Click on the images for recipes)

My personal favorite (Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza)

Most Intriguing (Lahmahjoon Pizza) The Basic Option w/ a little flair (Grilled Pizza w/ tomato, pesto and feta)
The Most Naughty Sounding (Black Bean Nacho Pizza)
The One I Want to make tonight (Thai Chicken Pizza)

In with the old...

We have a picture wall in our apartment that I have been wanting to give a little "vintage" flair. I found these images on Etsy that are inspiring me to move forward with the project.

The Mechanical Stag Etsy shop has some great vintage items that I would love mix in with our personal family photos...
Vintage Brass Door Knocker

Vintage Garden Tools
Antique Camera
Vintage Wooden Oar

Nautical Room

I adore this nautical themed boys room. I'm not sure how sturdy the rope suspended bed would be , but he would be the coolest kid on the block!

I would sleep better with this...

That's what my sister-in-law just said when she sent this link to me! I agree- this duvet would really allow me to have the full eight hours I need. I'm sure alot of Anthropologie subscribers are saying the same thing to themselves about their Rosette Quilt. Here is an equation to complete my mustard and gray color scheme!

Stripes!

This bathroom is so amazing! I love how they painted the stripes over all of the molding. Just a drool worthy image I had to post... It's actually the bathroom at
The J.Crew Collection store in New York.

This is Jenna Lyons, the creative director of J.Crew's home bathroom.

Notice the resemblance?! I am so jealous of those rugged parquet floor boards!

Browsing

I was just browsing Apartment Therapy and found this great option for a night stand and fell in love with the wall color as well! It looks like a cross between charcoal and a really dark blue gray.

Coffee Table Inspiration

Now that we are over the puppy stage of chewing on furniture, we need a new coffee table. I have been brainstorming some ideas to get pricing from my millworker. I'm thinking of using some reclaimed materials and putting the table on big casters since I have to repetitively vacuum the dog hair off the living room rug. Here's my inspiration so far...

If i could find some wood like this, I would be very satisfied!
I am looking around for a reclaimed metal/iron table base to use with a new top.

I have gone to heaven

And I was looking at Lonny Magazine! I just found this great publication that only puts out an online copy. I do love to have a magazine in my hands to admire the great images, but this magazine is so cool I can put that need aside. I have been on a internet adventure this morning following the links they provide over almost every image. This easy access could be bad news for me :) I'm still investigating how you can subscribe. Stay tuned for that. Here's where you can find it: http://www.lonnymag.com/
