Park City

On our trip out west a couple of weeks ago we drove up to Park City for the afternoon. No skiing for us (we wore ourselves out in Steamboat Springs)- just a little window browsing. This town is rustic and modern all at once with one of a kind stores and some yummy places to eat. It is definitely up next on our list of places to stay and ski.

Check out this original art I found at one of their local boutiques. I almost got the lemons, thyme and basil but decided against it because I still need to work up a design scheme for our new house.

This picture makes Park City look like a deserted ghost town but it's actually quite charming. I was loving all the different colors of the buildings and of the homes on the mountain. Usually I only see that in coastal towns.

Can't wait to go back there and spend some more time!

Living Room Design

The second we bought a condo, I've been designing every inch of the space in my head. Tonight I got a little antsy and had to get a rough idea down visually (i.e. screen shots of my desktop). Some of these pieces we already have, like the ticking stripe sofa, pillows, and green laquered chest and the others I have been eyeing for quite some time.

I'm sure I will be a little heartbroken though once we move in and realize that this living/dining/kitchen space is much smaller than I envision in my head :) Hopefully I will be a better blogger and be able to document the whole process!

I like both of these options with the different prints.
