But if you don't, head on over and read about why patience really is a virtue :)

Guest Blogging & Some Home Inspiration

I'm Guest Posting today on Modern Jane about design trends for the new year. Although I am nowhere near an expert on the subject, I was really excited to give it a go! You should definitely check out Jane's blog, it's is filled with lovely DIY projects and renovations of her cute little house.

I have a folder of photos saved on my computer of "home inspiration," so I thought it would be fun to share some photos while we are in the midst of the floor re-do. One space in our home I'm excited to decorate is the living room. We're planning on making the it slightly more formal (think no TV), but not stuffy. We want a comfortable space where we can sit by the fire and play board games, listen to music and talk with friends. Is it bad that this is my idea of a perfect Friday night? A glass of wine, the fireplace blazing, and a board game. Must mean I'm getting old.

I like all of these inspiration photos for different reasons, but this first one is definitely my favorite, overall.

As I mentioned in my guest post, I am definitely going to have a gallery wall somewhere in my house, and the most likely space will be the living room. I love how the wall below is a little bit eclectic, mixing photos among plates, chalkboards, and art work.

And this couch as well. I love the style and color.
