Pink & Green Thursday: Summertime



I'm playing along with sweet Trish from Pink Preppy Lilly Lover for Pink & Green Thursday. In keeping with the summer theme this week, today is all about pink & green summer delights!

Put away your winter umbrellas, because it's time for summer and all that goes along with it...

...bringing out the summer fashions...


...going on vacation...

...exploring new places...

...lazy days...

...daydreaming...

...watching the sunset...

...swimming...

...going on bike rides...


...spending time on the beach...

...going to the fair...

...summer parties...



...catching up with friends...

...and enjoying nature.




I hope you all have a wonderful summer filled with all joyous things!

I'm also playing along with Summer Sundays at The Tablescaper. Go check out all the summery posts there!

House Tour Inpsiration: Alcove Studio

I keep getting inspired from Apartment Therapy's house tours lately! Last week, they revisited a 285 square foot San Francisco studio apartment located in Lower Nob Hill. I love the simplicity about this space.

I was also inspired by what the owner, Natalie, had to say about decorating her space. She said that she "was inspired by the architecture and original elements of the studio and sought to draw attention to the beautiful alcove, mouldings, hardwood floors, radiator and claw foot tub. I wanted the furnishings and décor to flow seamlessly from the building’s character and charm while adding modern touches along the way."



Loving these old-fashion prints!


A lovely area rug. And isn't this coffee table storage space great?!



Love everything about this!

I haven't come across too many apartments with architectural elements, such as a niche like this!

This studio just goes to show, sometimes the smallest spaces are the cutest!
