the white attic...

i cannot explain to you how i love this store and how upsetting it is that they do not offer shipping. i have called twice, juuust to be sure they haven't changed their policy.

this stacked with all my white dishes and milkglass collection would be a dream come true.

i have been looking high and low for a secretary desk to store all the kids artwork, in the drawers and supplies, on the desk. let me know if you see one.

i would love to have one refinished like this store does in a really fun color.

medium tone wood floors...

i have a thing for dark-dark wood floors, herringbone parquet if we are being particular. i love the contrast with a good white molding and great beautiful natural light. but, everyone i know who has had them said they are the most beautiful things in the world freshly "swifered" but you can see every speck of dust and every streak from a broom...so since i have young children i am trying to wrap my head around a more practical finish.

these images from desire to inspire just might do the trick...maybe, if i try really hard i could let go of my dark wood dreams. if not aren't these gorgeous to look at anyways?

but for right now we just want to refinish our flooring until we can redo the kitchen.

anyone know any wood flooring specialists?
