ms. junkaholique a.k.a one a-ma-zing lady

Artemis, her lifestyle, their way of living, and her belief in thrifting and anything vintage; how can I even begin. I liked their collections, and the fact that [probably] 90% of their house was from vintage shops. I am so much in awe. Honestly, she probably had mastered the art that is junk hoarding. And I am one hellafa-jealous girl right now.

I myself am a hoarder when in thrift shops and flea markets. [Certain] Someone [that is my husband] can say obsessed. It is in my plan to buy all the beautifully crafted [I am hoping for some real gem, like hand-painted] plateware. I just have to wait until we move in to our own house [because my husband won't allow me to buy anymore. read: impulse buying]. Though if we're being honest, I had already bought four pieces from a flea market of sorts. Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation always has this junkyard-sale-ish for charity. I had seen a lady carrying an old typewriter; I might have given her the 'how-could-you-thats-mine' kind of stare. Anyway, Tzu Chi was where I chanced upon my little treasures. Which are mostly, porcelain. [I should post them here. Prolly some other time.] But! If you're from the Philippines, you should definitely have a look. Back to Ms. Junkaholique.

I love their house [photos below]. Small space, yet so homey. Honestly, my peg for our own house.
You may find more adventure from her blog.

diy round-up

I really love how this space is becoming a design blog. Makes me feel so... crafty.

Here are four DIY that you can add to your list (as I did): 1) album cover wall organizers; 2) book planters; 3) bean bag; 4) book cover disquise.

How amazing are these clocks from Shanybeebo?
I know I already have an idea for the clock. BUT THESE! OMG.
I am loving the art in each piece.
More from her Etsy shop!





P.S. This being the first Etsy-ish post btw.

Anthropologie: Curtains

a.k.a freaking loads of freaking cool stuff.

I know this is late; I just got on the Anthropologie wagon. I was hesitant at first, due to: A) I know what they have are too expensive; and B) I was scared to get upset when I find something I can't buy. BUT! Thanks to bloggers out there I tried to give it a look, finally! I cannot believe one tiny site could give me that much happy! So...

Here be the first Anthropologie Inspiration post. BA DUM TSSSS!
a.k.a stuff I want for myself slash stuff I'll probably try to hack because.. Read: can't afford.

LIVING THE SWELL LIFE
http://livingtheswelllife.com/

Living the Swell Life began in 2007, back when Jeff and I were newlyweds and college grads, setting off on a crazy new life of adventure and love. Since its humble blogspot beginnings, it has become so much more; a special place to share inspiration, joy, creative endeavors, and to document our sweet family along the way. I often stop and think that the title of this blog is actually a bit of a misnomer. Mark my words, our life is not always rosy and perfect. I am just as messy as you. However, I’ve learned that life is a precious gift and each and every day moments are worth celebrating. Which is why I choose to capture, write, and share simple, beautiful things here…Things that speak to my heart and my reflections on a life made lovely by God’s grace.
