On this weekend’s docket- find some pretty vintage planters for three new plants I bought on a whim a couple weeks ago (a cactus like this, string of pearls & a zebrina) These planters from Pine and Main are awesome inspiration for my search, but if I don’t find anything locally, I may have to buy out the whole section of this shop because hers are pretty darn perfect!

This weekend is supposed to be a rainy one which means hopefully we’ll get some stuff done around the house, watch lots of movies (some scary ones as suggested by you guys!) and I’ll continue to tackle my inbox! Big plans, huh? Hope you all have a great one and I’ll see you back here on Monday!

Lisbeth and her fellow protagonist, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, seem to make themselves coffee and sandwiches quite a lot so I started thinking about furniture — what might they use for such impromptu meals? (Besides IKEA, that is, which we’ll get to in a moment.) A little computer sleuthing of my own and there you are!

Or — Där är du! in Swedish. Enter the tray table, like this current one from Svenskt Tenn, a famous Stockholm interior design store. It’s a clever design — the top is a metal tray (there are two sizes: 65 cm diameter or 49 cm diameter) that can be changed. Trays are as v

West elm’s modern take on the classic Greek klismos chair, crafted with a curved back for maximum comfort and support, next to the curved Grace expandable dining table. I love the combination and the scandiavian feel it has.
