I think I’m going to start doing something I’m calling “Friday Finds!”. Basically, just posting some of my very favorite finds that I stumble across throughout the week & sharing them with you! Hopefully they spark something in you too :)

Because I have a confession: one of my absolute favorite things to do is browse Pinterest (for HOURS. Seriously people, it’s a sickness!!), look through magazines & pore over different websites, finding for inspiration & ideas for our house.

I have this Himalayan handmade paper notebook that I got while the hubs & I were in Seattle this past summer, and I use it to stash all my ideas. Lord knows what would happen if I ever lost that thing. I’d probably implode.

For me, it’s soo helpful to write everything down that I’d like to do to/in the house. I feel like when you can see what needs to be done, the cost, the priority level, etc., it totally increases your productivity! Of course, I’m also that person who thinks it’s Christmas anytime someone even mentions a label maker or color coding so… there’s that.

Here are a few of my favorite finds this week… If I could buy everything I’m about to list, I’d be a very happy girl. For now though, I’ll just have to settle for the pretty pictures ;)

Twist Swivel Stool $119.99 @ World Market

This stool. World Market holds my heart, y’all. I have two metal stools from Target for our bar, but need a third one. Got my sights set on this beaut. Soon!

Nelson Industrial Bench ON SALE $149.99 @ World Market

This bench. Looove it. Not sure where I’d put it- maybe in the backyard? Once it’s fixed up? Cuz it’s a jungle right now. No, seriously. The previous owner was going for a Japanese-zen-garden-type feel & now it’s just outta control! And overgrown. And overwhelming. I’m dreaming of beautiful sod, an open porch, gorgeous lighting, a firepit for s’mores… this bench in the mix. Can you picture it?! Happy sigh.

Premium Jute Braided Area Rug $279 @ Home Decorators Collection (8×11)

These rugs. I can’t decide. They’re similar. But different. But not. I can’t make up my mind!! I think we are definitely gonna go with jute though, when the time comes.
