2. Tickets to see Alice in Wonderland this weekend.

4. A happy new desktop background from Simple Blueprint, and new Eames chair application icons. (Color Me Katie has a great post about how to change out the icons if you're interested).

Things I'm Thankful for Thursday

It's already Thursday?! Wow. Here are some things I'm thankful for right now:

1. Yogi tea. They have good tea for when your sick and the messages on the tag always brighten my day. I'm thankful for my favorite owl mug too. (I know I mentioned being thankful for tea before, I just really love it lol).

2. Extra sleep.

3. The previews for Liberty of London for Target are full of great cheerful patterns. I can't wait to see the real deal.

4. Instant Netflix, and I Capture the Castle. This is one occasion were I loved the book and the movie.

The movie has some beautiful shots in it, and Romola Garai does a great job with the role. I recommend it!

What are you thankful for today?

Freaky Friday

I have always loved movies where people get to trade places and live each others lives for awhile; Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap, Wish Upon A Star, etc. It's fascinating to watch the characters have to perform parts of the other person's life they don't want to do, or are ill-equipped for.

I think it's an interesting idea for furniture as well. What if a chair from Anthropologie and a chair from West Elm switched places?

Could a sleek scoop-back West Elm chair hack it in the dark, arty room from the Anthropologie catalog?

{Anthropologie}

Could a quirky Anthropologie bistro chair get through a day in a modern, white room from the West Elm catalog?

Take a look at the switcharoos:




They both look a little awkward, but maybe with some new accessories and a bit of time they'd grow to like their new lives, and perhaps learn a thing or two. After all, cheerful/flowered dining chairs have got to stick together.
