I quite like these by Lo Boheme at Ginger & Adam's wedding.
While this cake set-up is too over-the-top girlie for me, it did give me an idea. I love the floating candels above the table. I wonder if we could rig one of these up over our future dining room table using a long metal rod or pipe and mason jars. We could also have some real light fixtures attached so that we wouldn't always have to light the candles when we ate dinner.

It seems like more and more people are planning their own weddings these days, or at least doing a whole lot of the work themselves, in order to cut costs and make the whole affair much more personalized. The overall look of the wedding, the dress, and the cake are the most fun to dream about. It's the small details like how to phrase a wedding invitation, who pays for what, or what exactly a maid of honor is responsible for that can be confusing at first.
How freaking cute is this? I adore it. Reminds me of the Two Guitar cards that would make excellent wedding invites.
More of the wedding can be seen at Once Wed.

It's an old factory washbasin!
I would love to have these subway tiles for the backsplash of the kitchen.
Totally love this floor! It would be wonderful if we could find some recycled flooring like this. 
And of course he would need a totally rad water boiler. I used to have one in college and I discovered that it also doubled as a face steamer-a handy use for when my skin was breaking out during exams.

C said that when we finally did have a house he would build a studio loft for me, as he'll be having a studio garage for wood working and music making. When it's finally finished then I totally want to have an old desk like this one for my computer. And I really love the red Eames chair too.
A lady came into the store the other day, she saw all my wedding magazines and books laid on the counter and we began talking about her wedding that had happened 15 years prior. She said that honestly, if she could do it again she would elope. She would save all her money, run away somewhere quiet with her immediate family to get hitched, and save all that money to help her and her husband to get established in their new life.
I discovered this photo by Amelia Lyon a while back and I just love it. A totally rocking engagement photo!
Love her dress!
We lived in an old victorian house for a while when I was growing up. It had a seperate basement apartment with the coolest vintage refrigertor. It kind of looked like this one. One day I would love to have a frige like this again but oh man, we'll have to look through antique shops because this one by NorthStar is around $4,000 and another version by Smeg is about $1,200.
We have this wallpaper at the store I work at and it's even better in person. You can see more movement in the wings that reminds me of Hitchcock's The Birds. It might look cool in the bathroom, on the top half of the wall while the bottom half is painted a glossy dark indigo. I love blue!
Hahaha, brilliant! British wallpaper group, Beware The Moon, who infuse pure cheekiness into their designs. I love it.
I would love to have a portion of our porch shaded like this. Plus, when we have a party, we could hang sparkly lights on the beams.
I'm a total sucker for painted wooden floors, it just seems so dramatic. As a carpenter C thinks this is sacrilige. Whoops. 
For our dinning table, I really like the idea of mixed chairs. There are so many cool ones to find at yard sales for cheap and they look great all mixed together. We could even paint them all one color to add unity, only if we felt like it though.
There's a building in town that is made of recycled parts from remodeled houses. I think it would be great, and possibly economical to scour around for cool old windows and mix them all together. I really like this style of window because it reminds me of Europe. I'm just not a fan of big plate glass and I hope we don't have to use too much of it in our future house.
I know it's not very practical but I like having rugs under dining room tables. In fact I like rugs in general with hard wood floors.
I always liked the idea of having a mantel in the house as a decorative object and not neccessarily as a working fire place. It just looks amazing and can be found at any junk store, well, found after some searching of course.
