5 Things I’m Loving This week (as an Interior Designer) - Vol. 2

This morning I let Opie out and almost couldn't believe what I heard. 

Birds. Chirping. Like, spring is actually on the way. Even here in the Minnesota Northwoods. 

I stood outside for a while just listening to them and immediately starting daydreaming about the actual life that will soon come back to my (currently very dreary) backyard.

Mornings with coffee on the back porch, my potted herb garden, the nest of bunnies that show up each spring, reading a book under the covered porch on a rainy day, backyard cocktails with friends. 

And while we're not quite there yet, I've also been daydreaming about ways to bring little touches of spring into my house, while I wait just a little longer.

This week's list of things I'm loving definitely proves that. It's got subtle spring vibes and even a touch of whimsy.

 
 

What is this new blog series about and what can you expect?

Well honestly, a little of this, a little of that. But basically, five things that I've found and am loving each week. Some furniture, some decor, some finishes. Some things might be splurgy, some will not be at all. I'll also share paint colors, design ideas, and other inspiration that I'm loving that week.

So with that in Mind, Here it is - Vol. 2 of The 5 Things I’m Loving This week (as an Interior Designer)

 
Gingham Duvet Cover

Gingham Duvet Cover

 

This classic pattern is definitely having a moment right now. So when I saw the gingham pattern in my favorite linen duvet set at half the price of most linen bedding, I just had to add it to the list.

 
Whimsy Art with Dog

Whimsy Art with Dog

 

I will forever talk about my love for printable art. It’s seriously one of the easiest and most budget-friendly ways to update a space. Then I came across this sweet little dog’s face this week and somehow became an even bigger fan.

 
Brass Wire Storage Basket

This “spring in the air” feeling also has me wanting to clean and organize everything. This brass wire storage basket feels like such a pretty and functional way to do just that.

 
Wood Spindle Bed

Wood Spindle Bed

 

I’ve been working on a couple of bedroom design projects for clients recently and wanted so badly to include this bed in one of the spaces, but it just wasn’t quite right for any of the projects. I won’t stop dreaming though - especially since it comes in over 20 colors!

 
Mini Flower Vase Magnets

Mini Flower Vase Magnets

 

So, I recently came across the idea of these mini vase magnets, through a viral reel on Instagram. I am just loving the bit of whimsy and spring-like vibes they would bring to your kitchen for under $10.
