Mint Office Inspiration

Written across my calendar this Saturday was, "Clean out guest room!" Since moving in nearly six months ago, the husband and I have tossed all of our miscellaneous wedding decor, rubbermaid bins, unfinished projects, and garage sale items in one room. Since our happy little rental is a historic bungalow, it doesn't exactly have a linen closet, pantry, or shelving (oh, those luxuries).

After relocating all of our garage sale stuff to the front room for this Saturday's big sale and filling three utility trash bags full of trash, we could see the guest room floor. Many hours of why do I still have this? later we had an (almost) empty guest room. 

The next morning my husband woke up and said, "I want to design the guest room." I think he could finally see potential in the room. Fast forward three days and we have two coats down and one coat left of the most wonderful paint color you've ever seen (Sherwin Williams Sea Salt). Side note: I would have never thought we'd get as extreme as painting, but the husband said it was part of the whole design aesthetic and how could I work in a space with walls the color of dirty cement? 

All of this to say, here's a little office inspiration on this Thursday morning.

Silver Sparkles and Sequins

I am currently watching one of my new favorite shows, Big Bang Theory and thinking about how Christmas is almost only one month away. It's hard to feel super Christmas-y in 80 degree weather, but my roommates cinnamon candle is helping me get in the spirit.

Last Christmas I went all DIY with my family's gifts. I custom designed the gift tags and coffee stained them. I used a ton of twine and brown packaging paper. Somehow I have to top what I did last year. Here's some inspiration from the sequins, sparkles, and glitter that are definitely IN right now (just look at the storefronts of Forever XXI).

Lavender Fields Forever

I can't get enough of this color. I always wrote off purple/lavender as the color that people who hated pink liked. And I love pink... (read about my pink obsession here). 

Take a look. Warning: purple haters will be converted.

Sorbet Chic Style

I've been thinking that it's time I give you a hint as to what we're planning for our wedding. I can't give everything away, seeing that we have a couple tricks up our sleeve.

What we really desire is a relaxing evening for all of our closest friends and family as we share our special day together. We don't any stuffiness or weird traditions that include drunk men and garters. We want everything to feel natural and organic in the sense that the whole event flows together as one dynamic, intimate, whimsical day. We want our photographer to capture the goofy grins on our faces as well as the sweet, quiet moments with each other and our families.

We don't want our day to feel like a carbon copy of the couple who got married at the same venue the week prior, nor do we want to feel rushed or unimportant. We want our day to be memorable, personalized, thought through, and just plain old magical, dangit!

So, on the road to creating a wedding masterpiece, we've chosen peach/coral to be our color of choice. And yes, I have been pinning my faves on Pinterest like crazy. Here's a few to give you an idea of what we are planning:

Etsy Finds for Cinco De Mayo

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I have highlighted one of my favorite fruits (and yes it is a fruit)...the avocado. I'm a huge sucker for fresh guac (said like "Aflac" with lots of emphasis on the "awk"). :)

My trademark recipe: (and perhaps yours as well...it's not super original, but tasty nonetheless)

Avocado, garlic, onions, lemon and lime juice, cilantro, and diced tomatoes. Yum. Celebrate.

Just some lovely and unique Etsy finds to get you in the guac spirit.

Yellow & Gray Styleboard

Chelsea is no longer updating 'Tis So Sweet, but you can find her on her new blog, Rosario Creative Co.

So, I am in the process of looking for a new apartment. 

I am excited and set on this yellow + gray theme.

It's feminine meets masculine.

Happy. Like sunshine.

It includes a lot of geometric patterns paired with ruffles and natural textures.

Clean & homey.

Daisy Days

Daisies are fun because they are simple, flirty, and youthful. My boyfriend gave me a beautiful bouquet of daisies for Valentine's Day. What a sweet man. 

According to Pioneer Thinking, Daisies represent innocence. I'd say they are the perfect gift for a friend or family member if you're thinking of spreading a little love around. 

Have a sweet day!

Amy Atlas Addict

I have a confession to make. I am completely and utterly addicted to Amy Atlas' dessert tables. They are like pretzel M&Ms--once you pop you can't stop.
