imple Living" is one of my favorite topics to research and read about. It's one of the secrets to happiness, I think. : ) The less clutter to worry about, the more time you have to feel at peace and relaxed. The nice thing about a mid-century decor is that it lends itself quite easily and beautifully to this way of life. Furniture should be streamlined, clean and... simple. It'll do wonders for your state of mind. : ) Trust me! I went through a serious de-cluttering stage about 4 years ago and it was incredibly therapeutic. Now, our house is minimalistic and we absolutely love it!
Hopefully everyone had a lovely weekend. My sister was in town from Chicago and the family & I were so ecstatic to see her and spend time with her. We had so much fun! I then hung out with my beautiful godson and best friend and just had a terrific time. Amazing how being surrounded by good friends and wonderful family can make a weekend unforgettable. : ) Wishing all of you a happy week ahead. I just hope this dreadful heat goes away sooner, rather than later. It's killer! Yuck!
Happy Decorating!

kay, okay... so perhaps I am a big geekazoid, but it's a step up from the horrific troublemaker I was in my pre-teen years, okay? So there! I'm loud and proud to be a big nerd now and I don't care who knows it! : ) Glad to have gotten that off my chest, thank you very much. So, most schools get back in session this coming week. At least in our town they do. I figured I would do an Etsy search based on back to school items. Isn't that backpack thingy magig absolutely awesome!?! I love it! And those ballet flats? ((sigh))... absolutely lovely. : )
hile happily perusing the lovely streets of Savannah, Georgia this past week, I had the upmost pleasure of finding a little, bohemian shop called Earthbound Trading Co. While I was there, I saw a few cardboard poster reproductions of vintage concert ads for about $7. I fell in love with The Beatles' Yellow Submarine poster (pictured above) and just had to have it! I framed it in an IKEA 19 3/4" x 26" RIBBA frame (which I scored at IKEA for $20!). So, for a total of about $27 the hubs and I now have a pretty cool piece of framed art in our mid-century/boho style living room! : ) Mid-Century is usually a style that focuses on clean lines. But, throwing in a colorful, vintage poster can do wonders for bringing in a fun aspect to the space. So, go ahead and try it! I hope you are all having a terrific Monday! I'm back from my vacation feeling rejuvenated, energized and happy to get this next phase of my life in gear. : ) I visited North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina & Georgia. My favorite? Hard to say, since they were all amazing for particular reasons. But... if I had to choose... it'd be a tie between Gatlinburg, Tennessee and Savannah, Georgia. Gatlinburg was just surrounded by the most amazing mountains. It felt so peaceful and breathtaking. I just loved it! I could spend every day there and be perfectly happy. Savannah? This place just felt like home. My goodness! I just loved its history and charm and little shops everywhere. It was just incredible. If you ever have a chance to visit there, do it! It was totally worth it! Here are some pictures of my journey! Enjoy!! Until tomorrow!
