I downsized my life about five years ago, leaving the suburbs, moving back to San Francisco, and loving every second of open concept studio apartment living. It’s funny how much we accumulate over the years, furnishing rooms and every wall almost unnecessarily. When all we need are the basics, and simplified decor. Sharing with you some of my favorites from here:
Craving elegance lately. I suppose I just can’t get Paris and Louvre out of my mind. Those of you who have been there I am sure you’ll understand 🙂 {source here and here}
I have to admit the bedroom in the first photograph is fascinating, a romantic hideaway for the artist at heart, and just in case modern is your style, I’ve included other spaces I adore. You know, to share 🙂 {source click here}
Right about now I get the urge to visit my favorite place in the world, and I start planning my annual trip for early Autumn to Paris of course! Just last night while I surfed the net, I came across this article about wall murals you can buy and install in your home to get reminders of the amazing city. Of course I had to order a few 🙂 See below. You can also check out the rest here.

Stumbled upon some old-fashioned modern decor, reminiscing of the 60’s -70’s. Can you tell I get a little nostalgic this time of the year, even down to home decor. {source}
I am one of those people. The one who doesn’t like to read instructions on anything, especially artsy stuff. So, I normally search online for ideas, suggestions, and from it create my own crafts, or DIYs or whatever. So for Christmas, I always refer to the Scandinavian countries/bloggers mostly for traditional or warm and fuzzy ideas. I’m not a fan of modern when it comes to Christmas. So, here’s what I found and my plan to make all of this happen in the next week or so. Some are easy, some take a little more, but as you can see the pictures are just easy enough to duplicate:
Taking a step back or forward, depending on how you look at it. In this case, I mean taking a step back from the holiday information overload, and sharing with you what I admire the most about interior decor – a simple style, I’ve grown to appreciate more and more everyday. {Source}
It’s already December. I could ask the question – where has the year gone? But I won’t. I know exactly where it’s gone and how strange of a year it’s been. Truth be told I can’t wait until it’s over. I’m very ready for 2015 and the opportunity to reset my life, and maybe be a little more selfish and focus on my needs over those around me. Until then, I’m keeping inspired with holiday decor, and all things leading to Christmas and the New Year. {source}
