shaker style

While in my 18th and 19th century women's writers course, my professor quickly mentioned the Shaker culture. While I was familiar with it, I hadn't realized that my one of my favorite furniture styles was actually from the Shaker culture. I would love to one day have a Shaker style kitchen. Here's a few photos of some of my favorite inspirations. Apparently Amazon has quite a collection of Shaker books, if you want to check them out! I think I might...

adeline adeline bicycle shop

Came across the wonderful bicycle shop, Adeline Adeline on Pinterest. I love all the accessories out there for bicycles. I hope to stir up more courage and go bicycling more out on the road. Between the husband and I we only have one helmet. One day I'm going to get a good looking helmet such as one of these ones. Just take a look at all these goods!

guest post on bonte.rue

Hello Everyone! I was asked a while back to do a guest blog post on a friend's blog, BonteRue. It's a great blog especially for amazing style and outfitting. I did a post on my Favorite Spring Things. Since Montreal weather hasn't exactly permitted it, I've been dreaming of going on a picnic in the park, so I decided to blog that. Take a look at my picnic-y round-up on BonteRue.

outdoor retreats

Well, again it's been a bit of a while since I've last visited Vim & Verve. I apologize again if anyone out there is still reading this. But the good news is I've finished my last final, which means that I can get back to blogging and finding old and new, and wonderful things. Some big news: I am moving to Southern California at the end of August. After two years in Montreal, the husband and I will be returning to the state where we first met, and will be spending a year or so there so that we can figure out what's next for us! Since it's been cold here still (April showers), I've started to let my mind drift into the sunny (but sometimes too hot) backyards of southern California. I'm excited to have a small yard, and a place to relax, even though the desert doesn't offer too many pleasant days outside. How nice are these outdoor retreats?

kitchen obsession

I have an obsession with kitchens, partly because out of the 4 apartments I've lived in, there was only one suitable kitchen for my needs. And while it was rather 70s in color and design, it was large and spacious and you could see the Space Needle out the window.

My parents are currently designing a detached apartment on their lot and I have tried my best to sneak in my own personal tastes into the design of it. While, I'm sure they've ignored my remarks, I still collect inspiration kitchen ideas here and there.

These are some of my favorites.
