{ quest for color }

 i've been trying to add color into my house for awhile now. I never know what goes together, what doesn't and so, find myself opting for neutrals. BORING. I am so over it. Thanks to my best friend for always inspiring me with her clever eye for design ( and to Pinterest ) I am finally just going for it. Color, here i come!! 

i recently put these up in the house from the oh-so talented Katie Daisy  

you can shop her amazing art work on Etsy at The Wheatfield

oh, and here's my mocha keeping me company  : )

my favorite homemade mocha these days:

two shots of espresso

3/4 cup of frothed whole milk

1/2 packet of Trader Joes hot chocolate mix

{ homemade gnache would be the most heavenly but i don't have any so the above is a perfectly good substitute }

{ spring cleaning }

this months gorgeous california weather ( and inspiration from Pinterest ) has me pretty-ing up our little house. 


 just yesterday it started feeling like winter.

no rain. no snow. just cold.

so this morning with a latte and leg warmers, I continued my "spring cleaning". 

don't get me wrong... there is PLENTY more to do but it feels nice to tackle some problem areas : )

my laundry room never looks like this- feels so refreshing!

i am a lover of espresso. seriously. i LOVE it a little too much.

while cleaning out the coffee drawer, i realized that i need to start labeling my beans so they don't go to waste. the bowl in the background is overflowing with "lost" coffee and is headed to the compost pile.

the oh-so cute orange coffee cozy was given to me by my sister in-law, Elizabeth
