Our Dream Home!

Usually I try to refrain from writing posts about my personal life; however, I'm so nervous right now I just gotta do something to make myself feel better and I know that posting will (hopefully) give me that relief! Why am I so nervous you ask? Last night the hubby and I decided to put an offer in on our dream home! We've been watching this home being built for a few weeks now and we have completely fallen head over heels for it. We find ourselves driving up to the neighborhood every chance we get and just walking around the house. Everytime we get there we don't want to leave. One night we just sat on the stoop in the garage for a good half hour or more talking about how wonderful it would be for the home to be ours. I know I know, we probably sound crazy right? Well we're definitely crazy about this house! Hopefully we'll find out this evening if our offer was accepted. Until then I'm trying to refrain from biting off all my nails in anticipation. Hopefully I'll be writing another post soon with good news! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Wall-to-wall art

I've been pondering art arrangement very deeply (not to an incredibly creative result). I wish I had a set of photos that warranted this easy, yet different set-up. 

I wish I remembered which apartment tour this came from (I saved this picture to my computer a long, long time ago), but it's from one of the many, many excellent sneak peeks on Design Sponge.

Title: SHOTOKAN - The Art of War

http://store.legendtv.co.uk/
Dynamite - Shotokan as it was - hard and fast, and very often brutal. See for yourself in this trailer from Legend Productions. www.legendtv.co.uk Four volume set, professionally produced and containing hundreds of carefully selected clips, digitally enhanced where necessary. You will never see this kind of action again, savage at times; but always inspiring. The final volume draws a sharp distinction between the original JKA - FAJKO - kumite rules, and the current 'sport' rules. Later version also available - 2 DVD 4 volume set - re-edited 2005. The clips you see here are a random series, we didn't simply pick the most exciting bits, no - the entire four volumes are wall to wall pulse racing Shotokan power.

You know I can't go too many days without posting a green and white inspiration board! I can't help it! Especially when I see a beautiful photo like the one styled by the lovely, talented Chelsea Fuss - creamy white with a touch of green. I decided to go with a really pale pistachio green to create a soft, clean palette for this wedding board.

Mood: soft, fresh
Palette: pale pistachio green, cream

Board #336: Moss & Twig

I haven't posted a fresh, woodsy inspiration board in awhile, and I thought it was about time to put one together. One of my favorite details here is the cluster of centerpieces arranged in painted coffee cans - eco- and budget-friendly, and they can double as favors. I also included one of my favorite Bella Figura invitations (from my sample pack!), to highlight a contest that they're sponsoring...

Mood: lush, green
Palette: moss, twig, white

Top row from left: table photo by Michael Norwood via Southern Weddings, lemonade in mason jars photo by Squire Fox, escort cards from Flush Designs via Once Wed
Row 2: bridesmaid dress photo by Jerry Yoon, bouquet by Laura Dowling, Festoon invitation from Bella Figura, ribbon photo by Billy Winters
Row 3: arrangement by Artfool, nest ring "pillow" from Junebug, arch, boutonnieres by Custom Event Group
Row 4: woodland cake photo by Laura Negri, coffee can centerpieces via {frolic!}, Oscar de la Renta dress from Martha Stewart Weddings

Bella Figura is giving away $350 toward any of their products to one Snippet & Ink reader! Just like I've created an inspiration board here, I'd love to know which of Bella Figura's pieces is your favorite, and what type of wedding it would inspire. Just head over to their website and take a look around, then leave a comment here mentioning your favorite piece, and describing wedding details you imagine might go along with it. You have until next Tuesday (January 27) to enter, and I'll announce the winner next Friday (January 30). Good luck!
