johanna ekmark photos = chic + colorful

Ran across the work of photographer Johanna Ekmark via la maison d'Anna G. I love her photos of people as much as the ones of interiors. The first photo of the kids is my favorite.

Happy Monday!  Did you have a great weekend with your mom on Mother's Day?

I had a blissful family weekend - spending loads of quality time with a niece and nephews who will be moving shortly to a new home across the country and spent a sunny afternoon at the ballpark!

Now...a new week! What will it hold?!

yellow + polka dots

The weather finally feels like spring instead of winter!  I see the sun and am celebrating with some cheerful yellows and an adorable clock.  By celebrating, I mean wanting the flowers, vase and clock to be mine instead of merely admiring the pretty photo posted by le blog de la remule

These homeowners in Jakarta love color and organization. I'm going to take some of their ideas and run with them!

I've been over on Pinterest lately if you'd like to follow me.

 

 

This may be a little boy's room, but I would love the same storage in my bedroom!

friday colors

 

These pops of colors reflect my Friday mood! 
Just got a new-to-me car to replace my 14-year old car,
and it's so nice and smooth to drive. A pleasant change.  

How's your Friday going?
