Sweet Nestings: Favorites

There is a good chance that my "Apples of My Eye" (see post below) interest lists could be forever long and filled with countless photos of interior decoratings that I love and am inspired by. SO, I am starting reoccurring category-posts of the things I believe would make for sweet nestings. For this first one, i'll start with some of my all time favorites. It isn't very often that one of my crazes or infatuations linger. But, these ones have stuck.

1. These chairs are on my long-term love interest list. I want some sooooo bad. Because they are clear, they take up minimal visual space which is so needed sometimes. I've really only seen the plain, clear lucite, but I am loving the colored variety.


2. I have really loved mirrored furniture this past year. I don't have any, but desperately want some. Again, like the lucite chairs, they increase the open and airy feeling in rooms, reflecting light and visual space.

3. I love all of Athropologie's sofas. I saw one like this at the Salt Lake store and fell in love. They also have it in a greige (greyish beige) color, which I also love. I love the femininity, the simplicity, and the details on the legs and the tufting! Maybe someday...
4. Floor length sweeping drapes. I love how elegant and soft they make a room. These are on the Someday List for me too.

5. All time favorite decorator, Genevieve Gorder. I saw her first on Trading Spaces, now she has an HGTV show called "Dear Genevieve." Her style is clean, elegant, simple, pretty, and if I had to pick anyone to design my house, it would be her. Definitely an inspiration.


Apples of My Eye

These are some of the lovely things that are making me smile right now. Some of them I have, some I just crave, covet, dream of, or yearn for.


1. Have: My new hat from Urban Outfitters. Perfect for summer, feminine, shady, and goes with everything. Find one here.
Another cute one for a friendlier price, and next on my wish list, look here.


2. Also on my wish list: I saw these at Target and think they would look soooo cute in a bathroom. I love the pretty bottles and tubes they come in! Find them here.

3. Wishlist Item: The romper. This short-shirt one piece would be the perfect bathing suit cover up this summer. This one from Anthropologie is my favorite of the ones I've found. SO pretty.4. Have it! Revlon's Pink Chiffon #911. On my nails it's girly, light, soft, and makes my feet look SO tan. I love light colors during summer.

5. David Babaii Bohemian Beach spray. I've been using it for the last little while and am loving it. The best part may be the smell...coconut, beachy, yet clean smelling. It gives my hair texture, little bit of wave, and the just-been-to-the-beach look. I got mine at Sally Beauty Supply.


6. Tulle clothing. It has the simple, yet feminine detailing that reflects Anthropologie clothing, but is a little more affordable. Find it here.
I love this look, especially this skirt!
