YUM RUM!

The march issue of RUM magazine is out... check it out here. This is my living room...

... in my dreams!

Geysir shop

Most of us have started planning our summer wardrobes, but as I sit here and listen to the raging snowstorm outside my window, I dream of all the wonderful things available at the Geysir shop in Reykjavík. Things like:

Knee high wool socks...

A wool cape and a white horse (not available at the shop though - the horse that is)...

The wonderful and witty cool and clever designs of Vík Prjónsdóttir...

A Vík Prjónsdóttir blanket to curl up under (I'll take that whole bedroom)...

A cozy Farmer's Market knit...

The classic Hunter rubber boots...

And this lovely piece of clothing.

Cute baby bed

I like this cot bumper for its graphic design, the lack of fluffy teddy bear characters, and because it's white on the side facing the baby and therefore doesn't overstimulate an infant that is supposed to be sleeping.

The cutest Valentine luminaries

(Found via Style-files on Creature Comforts with instructions) 

Another DIY lamp

This one, I might consider for the bedroom, which desperately needs a makeover before our little girl arrives.

Maps in the kids' room

I love vintage maps and what better place to hang them than in your kids' room? So beautiful and educational.
