February Rain

Sometimes I find it hard to stay positive when the weather turns south around here. I realize Seattle is most known for its constant rain (as seen in Sleepless in Seattle) but with the weather so beautiful in the summer it's easy to forget how it becomes such a drag come winter and spring. Instead of focusing on outside right now (because there's nothing I can do about the torrential downpour) I am going to focus on the inside (of my house that is.)

Here are some interior inspirations i've been admiring this morning.

I'm loving the all white walls, doors, and door frames. The white and black accents go great with the plants and the wooden chair. This picture reminds me a lot of my bedroom.
Found at this lovely website.

I really adore these neutral colors! and the chandelier is amazing.

If I could have exposed brick in my house I think my whole life would be complete!

More exposed brick!

I also could really use some more plants in my living room.

Snowed In!

Last night the snow started falling around 7:30pm. We have had several nights of little flakes and about a millimeter of snow the next morning only to be washed away by the morning rain. Last night was slightly different though. I woke up for my first full day off from work in a long time to find inches of snow on the ground. For some this is normal, an everyday occurrence even. But for us Seattlites it doesn't snow very often and well . . we tend to panic. That is when you turn on the news and see piles of cars in ditches and power outages from our lack of preparedness for the winter. So today I am not even going to try to get out of my driveway. Today I am going to sip on my coffee, catch up on my book(s) and really take the day off for myself.

Hope everyone is staying warm!
