rustic meets modern

I just love these sliding barn doors that I found on Re-Nest via Apartment Therapy. While they have a very rustic feel to them, I definitely like how neat they look paired with modern designs and furniture. They bring a nice, unique since of 'home' to the rooms in the photos above, while also saving space. I would enjoy incorporating one of these into my home someday. (I especially like the top photo with the blue doors and cabin-like feel.)
tree house escape

I grew up in an older neighborhood with tall trees and always secretly wished for a tree house in my backyard. One of my best childhood friends had a tree house that was our little hide-out where we would play and pretend to be the teenage mutant ninja turtles. We connected a zip-line from the tree house to the roof of her house to add even a bit more thrill to our playful adventures. Sorry for being nostalgic, but I do miss those days. So, of course I got a little giddy when I came across these tree house hotel escapes! But seriously, how cool would it be to stay in one of these?! COWABUNGA DUDE!

longing to loft

| 'Heidi and David's Downtown Portland Loft' via Apartment Therapy |
How cool is this artsy loft?! I just LOVE the large full-length windows bringing in the sunlight..probably my most favorite characteristic about this loft! The hard wood floors paired nicely with the colorful furniture and artwork creates a great appeal as well.
My dream is to move into a beautiful loft similar to this one someday..hopefully in the Kansas City Rivermarket area?! of course that is, after OT school. when I have a real job. and money. ohhh a girl can dream!!
Check out more photos and a house tour of this awesome loft at Apartment Therapy .

lazy sunday
Don't you love those days when you have absolutely nothing you have to do? Pure bliss! That is exactly how my day has unfolded..one hundred percent relaxation. Listening to some Mumford and Sons, reading my newest delight of a book The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, and browsing online for some inspiration when I ran across this fun curt/deck chair by Bernhard Burkard! The scooped, swing-like design looks quite cozy. I could settle in with a good book on a Sunday evening out on the deck.
heidi's hiatus
Welcome! I am back onto the blogging bandwagon after a much too long hiatus. No, I have not been living under a rock or hiding in a brown paper bag. Actually, I have been a busy little bee, and not only have I revived my blog, I have revamped it too! Do you like the new look?!
Since my last post, way back in the dead of winter, I have embarked on some exciting journeys. I got the wonderful opportunity to visit my sister, Allegra, in France. As well as, taking a weekend trip to the exciting, exotic and artsy city of Barcelona. This amazingly large and extravagant Spanish city blew me away. It is by far one of my favorite places I have ever gotten the chance to experience! Check out a few of my favorite photos from my trip...
