Open House No. 9: BOHEMIAN WITH CLASS

Having never been to this house before taking photos, I was pleasantly surprised with my coworker's nest. I was welcomed by stellar conversationalists who offered me delightful Indian food. 

If only every Tuesday could be like that.

 P.S. J & W are not only recently engaged, but they live in the home you wish you had.

Open House No. 7: DIY MODERN CHARM

We've known this next couple since we moved here almost two years ago. K & B are one of a kind & we enjoy their lighthearted & sincere friendship. Their home certainly reflects their craftiness, hospitality & love for one another. 

Location: Madison Park | Seattle, WA

Bedrooms: 1

Description: Simple color & clean lines

Makes you want to: begin a craft project

I love the accent pieces in their home - 

many of which were hand made, hand sewn, or hand painted : ) 

[DIY FEATURES]

 curtains + place mat:

K made this tiny shelf and this little cardboard moose:

Here's a simple prayer reminder piece they made. Mr. Fleece & I were challenged to do the same!

B went through some sweat, blood, & tears before hunting down this beautiful dresser on Craigslist. 

Read more here. 

Check out these cute miniature vases that were perfume bottles in their former lives:

& guess what, they even "made" the bed : ) 

[OTHER FAVORITE THINGS]

This little nook with a view of Lake Washington:

these sweet wedding photos:

& basically their whole living room: 

It's fun to have friends with such great style : )
