It's Friday everyone!  Red has been out of town this week, and we are looking forward to the weekend with no major plans other than being together.  See you next week, and here are some of my recent favorites:

This pastel kitchen

This bedroom

This Nursery

I have another house tour for you that is a little too good not to share.  I first saw it last week on The Style Files, and I keep coming back to the living room.  I love simple design like this that mixes old and new.  Beautiful.

I've been a little under the weather this week, but I couldn't let the week end without sharing our Halloween with you.  Normally you don't see much of my little girl on here, but Halloween is an exception to the rule for me.  If you've been following the blog for a year, you will remember the Princess Leia costume I made for her last year:  

    

This year, (while I still have a say), we decided to go with Frida Kahlo.  Meet my little unkempt Frida.

She didn't start out so happy about it though….

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm starting the week off by sharing another finished area with you…..this little corner of our dining room.  While I love the idea of having a bar cart in the living room area, with a one year old, it's flirting with disaster.  I'm not big on mixed drinks (I save that splurge for special occasions and holidays), but it is nice to have this cart on hand for entertaining and Red loves a weekend cocktail.  This vintage bar cart, believe it or not, was a $60 craigslist find.  We got it before we even moved into the house, it has just taken me a while to style and post about it.  My brother's friends brought us this orchid for hosting them last weekend, and it seemed just the thing to complete the area.  Plants and flowers are so underrated in my book.  

It's been a fun and crazy month for us- two weekend 10hr (one way) road trips, and lots of company.  This weekend we have plans to wind down, finally finish our dining table, and do some local exploring.  Cheers and here are my Friday favorites:

Kate's (of Wit & Delight) kitchen.....that rug!

When we moved to Indy and I realized the likelihood of us buying a newer house versus an older home, I made a list of things that were important to me (aside from charm) to help in our search.  At the top of that list was natural light.  Because to me, there is something so peaceful about light coming through my windows as I drink my morning coffee.  It brightens my mood, and I feel less cooped up on days that I don't get out of the house.
