1. eating this salad: greens + cranberries & walnuts + gorgonzola + champagne vinaigrette. Every day.

2. downloading fonts like it is my job.

3. enjoying California campfires at the beach.

4. listening to the Lana Del Ray album on repeat. I cannot get enough of her voice!

5. attending musicals like Jersey Shoresical. Yup, that happened.

6. drinking espresso. Everyday. I feel so Italian!

7. cleaning like a crazy woman (spring cleaning and visitors coming this weekend)!

8. hiking.

You??

Our dining area, if you can even call it that, leaves a lot to be desired.

We’ve got a hand-me down table – a high, four top with stools. It is great for our always-small apartments, but hopefully we’ll be able to serve a meal to our friends or family someday! It is literally impossible to fit 4 place setting on the table.

We won’t be moving into a bigger space anytime in the near future, but I still like to envision things.

When I think about my dream dining room, this is what comes to mind…

Complete with modern french doors leading towards a lush, green yard…
