the original breakfast nook
My breakfast nook is nearly finished. I have a little touching up on the paint and a few pillows to decide upon, but otherwise it's complete. Today I'm sharing my inspiration photo and some of the actual elements from the nook.

  2. Hundi Lantern from Pottery Barn
  3. Sockerärt Pitcher from Ikea
  4. 1940s Belgian Metal Dining Table from Restoration Hardware 
  5. Hand-Hooked Wilheim Wool Rug from Overstock
  6. Safavieh Franklin X-back Distressed Chairs from Overstock
the finished breakfast nook
I love this little part of our kitchen. Believe it or not, we can fit up to 7 people around the table if needed, and for my husband, two sons and myself it's more than enough room for any meal! So what are your thoughts on this space? More importantly, who wants a cup of tea or Nespresso with me?

Happy Thursday!

Sweet Tooth Tuesday: Cotton Candy Edition

"cotton candy", "nablopomo", "party ideas", "pinterest", "sweet tooth", "sweet", "yummy"Easton Place
Today is the 15th day of NaBloPoMo and I am just squeezing in a blog post with about 2 hours left in the day! It's been a very busy day to say the least. My boys are on "Spring Break" from school, but since they are both rowers, and there is a regatta this weekend, we're having a Staycation.

Thinking about an actual vacation led me to the topic of sweets. I have an incredible love for all things sweet and I can hardly think of anything sweeter than cotton candy. It's crazy unhealthy, bad for your teeth, terrible for your blood-sugar and DELICIOUS! I love the stuff. I realize it's just spun flavored sugar, but sometimes simple is perfect. I collected a few cotton candy ideas I found on Pinterest and I'm sharing them with you today (er, tonight technically).
