a good friend recently asked me about red for her kitchen. at first i was terrified for her but, then i found these pretty spaces.
i'm really loving the red cabinets. would you go so bold in your kitchen?

design crush
yesterday was a whirlwind day of shopping for a client, a trip with a contractor up to check out a project, and a short stint volunteering at an event. all of that equaled no time to blog, which makes me sad. anyways, the missed day will be made up today because WOW have i found an amazing designer to share.
paul raeside is my latest design crush and i found him on pinterest. (gosh, i love that place) i'm reaaaaaalllllllly loving his amazing use of vertical space...
there's surely more to come from paul on the blog :) who is your current design crush?

21 dates of summer: ice cream
our 3rd date in our 21 dates of summer was ice cream at Berry Winkle. if you've never been to Berry Winkle, they have about ten flavors of soft serve and a toppings bar. then you just pay by the ounce. it's a really good place for those of us who are indecisive. :)

clothing racks
when living in a small place without much closet space, a clothing rack is a really fun way to hang your clothes. even if you're not living in a small space, having some of your favorite tops and skirts that make you feel happy when you wear them out in front of you can also make you feel happy and inspired when you see them. as long as a clothing rack always looks neat and styled, i say flaunt those pretty pieces instead of hiding them in a closet.

21 dates of summer: concert
date numero 2 for the 21 dates of summer was a concert. we got tickets to see Zac Brown Band at an outdoor venue, but only because KJB's brother's band Northern Nights was playing on a side stage before the show! it was MEGA hot that day- 105 degrees! but we had a good time seeing their band perform (check out their current single on itunes - shameless plug) and got to see Zac Brown Band later in the night.

a magical find that makes my girly heart happy
my favorite thing happened this weekend.
i went link hopping through blogs and of course, made an awesome discovery. the site i found? an amazing artist called Jirka Vaatainen who has illustrated our favorite Disney princess characters into phenomenal life-like women. i had to share my favorite princess, Aurora but i'm also MEGA in love with his version of Alice and Esmeralda.
aren't they simply stunning? that Esmeralda one gives me shivers it's so real. i encourage you to check out his behance page found here for your favorite characters as well as his other work.
what's your favorite thing you have ever found by link hopping?

21 dates of summer: breakfast
girl crush confession: I think ms. anna from In Honor of Design is pretty awesome. and when i saw she was doing a 21 Dates of Summer, i knew i had to be a copycat. so here is our first date of the 21 Dates of Summer challenge!
weekends have always been my down time but lately KJB has been working which really isn't fun. so when we happened upon a morning that we didn't have anywhere to be, breakfast out was our first priority. now, to be honest, the hubs wasn't so excited as you can see by his sleepy face.
it cracks me up when he wears a hat so he doesn't have to do his hair then takes the hat off as soon as we sit down at a restaurant.
we splurged on biscuits with gravy (for him) and french toast and eggs (for me). i can never finish a meal though so he cleaned up my plate too.
and a little bit more caffeine.
have date ideas for us to try out? let me know in the comments below!

a fun weekend + a new week
this quote was on twitter last week. it's now in a frame in my living room.
we had a splendid little weekend trip to Indianapolis which consisted of a rooftop pool, a view of the circle monument, and of course, lots of food, drinks and music. on sunday we spent some time with family, went to a very intriguing Sunday evening church service, followed up with ice cream with our mentor couple from church.
hope you all had a wonderful weekend! let's get this week off to a great start!
