Holy Shit, I'm Moving to Vermont!!

...based entirely on this website that I just discovered--Vermont Tiny Houses!!! Also, I saw this adorbs post on Design*Sponge, my original blog love. I'm obsessed.
.



-
Isn't it cute?! THEN, I stumbled onto an EVEN BETTER website called Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. Is this for real? My life's calling has materialized in front of my eyes!!! They're tiny, they're cute, and they're like, $40,000! MEGA loves it! Take a look at a few of my favorite choices:

-
Here's the blueprint. It's awesome! Perfect size! I think it's bigger than my old Tiny House, in fact! I can just picture it now--me, Uli, Finn, and friends chillin' on the porch, sippin' Sangria, livin' it up in the cutest Tiny House on the street!
Look at the little church-like windows! And the trees! And the teeny tiny porch!
I'm dying over here.

Precious.

It's a little baby bodega. Hearts all around.

- Check out this sneaky bugger. Can you even see it?! ...probably the best thing I've seen all day. Gahhh!
-

-
So here's the deal: we'll listen to Paul Simon, smoke the hookah, and have a grand old time. Bring yo happy asses over, it's party time!!

A Room of Alex's Own

Ok, so my dear and lovely friend Alex just moved into a new place in Northampton, MA, and bought this adorbs chair as one of her first pieces of furniture:
.

Totally presh, right? Then she said, "I am decorating my room with aquamarine/seafoamy blues and greens and light pinks I think--this makes me a bit uncomfortable, but we'll see how it goes" and lord honey child I am loving that color scheme. So. I did a little early-morning google action/blog surfing to see what I could uncover, and this is what I've got to start with (I kinda forgot about the pink, whoopsie, but don't you worry, the hunt has only just begun):
.
Ob.sessed with this chair. And the wallpaper. And the PINK orchid, which you know, are actually very hard to kill. Who woulda thought??
-
So bright! So light! So turqouisey black and white!
-

Yeah, so this is for a wedding and some of the stuff is kinda cheesy...it's the colors gfriend...use dat imagination.
-

I had this picture saved for something else, but I looked at it and fell in love again with the headboard. I really don't think it would be hard to craft something like this with the right amount of foam and a staple gun. Then when people come over to visit and fawn over your awesomeness you can be like, 'Yeah, no biggie, I crafted it myself,' and they can be like, 'Damn that girl's got class.' Get it? Good.
-

The angels are singing for those two simple pillows. I guess this is for if you want less teal/seafoamy more black/white/cream/brown/tan.
-

Game over, this room is perfection.
-

Actually, this is where I envision you living. Lots of fabulous drapery action, some serious upholstered chairs, a pheasant?feather chandelier...I guess I'd allow you to read Pride and Prejudice in this piece...
-

Ok, here is some more teal and a wee little turtle footstool that I think is super cute.
-
It even looks good on a sneaker!..?
-
Whoops, I found a second image of the perfect room and just had to post it. I know that murals are kind of big right now or whatever and most of the time they look like shit, but this one--this one, I'm feeling. You could totally do this, too...
-
Muted blurry goodness. I think an adult lives here.
-

Hearts and stars, and how easy it would be to slap some white picture frames on the walls like this and fill them with gorgeous black and white photos of all your lovers/travels.
-
More collage action. This is if you're feelin' real fancy pantsy a la a Tiffany's box or Del's Gmommy's front door. True ballers unite!
-
Recently I hit up TJMaxx and they were having a mega sale on tons of teal/turquoise/seafoamy lamps and accessories. I mean, I know it's NOVA, but they've got to have the same shit in the Mass, right??
-

In conclusion, I just realized that Northampton is sometimes referred to as Noho??!?! Fabulous. I will forever be calling it by this name. Also, I'm counting down the days till I can come visit the great New England and see my lovely shiny beautiful friend Alex and we can treat ourselves to some PBRs, wine fridays, and jalapeno poppers. Loves.It!.
.
(Ps. this is what you get when you Google 'C
lassy PBR.' I'll take it.)
Love, Hannah

Do you like Billie Holiday? I love him!

I'd forgotten how much I love Billie Holiday until she came creakin' on my Padora station today. So, so good.

You Go To My Head
You go to my head
You go to my head,
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne.
You go to my head

Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two.
The thrill of the thought

That you might give a thought
To my plea casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself: get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it can never be?
You go to my head

With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance,
You go to my head.

I Iz In The Garden

And All I Really Want...

...is a bed. And a bottle of Alanis Morissette's rage. JKbutseriously.

Recently, all I've been daydreaming about is getting my bed/some bed up here so I can fill it to the brim with featherbeds, down comforters, delicious new sheets, and some serious pillow action. The whole sleeping-on-the-floor thing is starting to catch up with me (plus watching I Survived... right before bed is seriously not helping...whoops).

Here are some examples of what I've been thinkin' about:

1. Wallpaper heaven. Just joking, look at the headboard with the stripes!! and the blue and white color scheme and the crispy clean white sheets yumyum, yess please..
-

-
2. Ok, well, I've been dreaming about other stuff too. Look at these cute little teacups filled with jewels and junk. lovelovelove it. I will investigate this asap.
-
3. This bed, this headboard, those chairs, the curtains, the knicks, the knacks...I'm all over it. Let's get this (slumber) party started.
--
4. I have a feeling this room will bore me in a week, but right now, this is waaaaay superior to 30 year-old peices of foam on the ground that I share with an epic bed/floor hog. You know it's true.
-
-
5. Here are some new sheets that I'm feeling pretty good about. Love letter sheets!! Duh!! Then I really could read in bed...get it?!? buh.
-
-
6. Ok, whatever, it'd be nice to have a bathroom, too. ESPECIALLY one that's groovin' like this bad boy. Lights camera action, pop that bubbly bath!:
-
-
7. I saw this awesome collage/inspiration board that someone crafted and I'm feeling like this is my color scheme of the moment:
-

-
7. Ok, whatever, I just heart this picture. Awwwshucks.

Happy Tuesday lovers!
