{Review}Etcetera by Sibella Court

My great grandmother was newlywed during the Great Depression.  I never had the opportunity to talk to her about what it was like or how they managed to get by (I was pretty young... and dense... to even think about asking such things), but I loved going down into her basement and looking at all of her belongings from a far simpler time.  It was like treasure for me, and I would sit and take it in forever.  Her old scissors, her iron, the jars... all of it was so lovely. 
Now that I'm older and have a house of my own, I find my favorite kind of home decorating comes from flea markets, thrift stores and antique shops where I can fix things up a little so that they're perfect for my home.  When I visited Anthropologie recently, my eye caught this book...

 
The woman behind this work is truly amazing, and her style is one of a kind.  I'm not saying that I could decorate my entire house like this, I do crave electricity and my microwave, but I love a little old thrown in with the new.  Check out what's inside for yourself.

 

  

On a side note, Heather had two super fun photo sessions yesterday.  Click on this link to check out the cuties!!

Olive Juice

I love Olive Juice's new Fall line.  They have a simple, Parisian vibe, and I love their angle on keeping it classic.

  

  

  

P.S. That little boy is just too adorable.

Open Cabinets

I've been flirting with the idea of pulling the doors off a couple of my kitchen cabinets for a while now.  I really think it's a beautiful look, and it definitely adds character to any kitchen.  Here's some inspiration:

       

My issues with taking off cabinet doors is that it ALWAYS has to be clean up there... and all the serve-ware has to match... or at least "flow" with the rest of the kitchen.  It is nice to hide things behind closed doors.

 
I may give in though, the temptation just might just be too much.

Don’t forget to visit our GIVEAWAY at {Oh}Brooke this week!  The last day is Thursday, so don’t miss the opportunity to win a super chic WhipperKeeper.
