that is the temperature outside right now. i am under four blankets… on my heated mattress pad… wearing to many clothes. so i thought we could all use a little warmth through color today!
yes please…. i would like to drink one (or four) of these.
love the colors together here… wishing my daughters shared my love for this palette.
this makes me want to jet off to the big city with my man!
our first home had 6 foot tall hollyhocks for days that just grew wild in the back corner of the yard.
that couch. YES.
what a FUN wall design?!! So simple and classic!
oh wow. i want to eat the whole thing. this is my favorite kind of pizza...YUM!
a fruit rainbow. i want to make one! i see a citrus grocery bill in my near future….
seriously? Such an EASY way to make a super fancy looking dessert!
love this print from Naptime Diaries!
how adorable are these? I would eat them all.

art supplies make me happy.
this makes me want to take a trip…. to a house in the middle of the ocean… like this!
can you even believe that places like this exist? sometimes when i really think about it i am blown away. some people get to live like this. every day. it is craaaaaaaazy.
this kitchen. i mean…. i would never… but yet… i LOVE it! it is so cool. you know whoever lives here is THE COOLEST person i would ever meet in real life.
i wish i had taken this photo. because that would mean i could visit this place. and take more.
(and of course the source is all screwed up… can’t find who DID take it)
i am making hot tea and watching Parenthood on dvr right now. (that adam braverman is the just the best) what are you doing right now?
Deana - Well I’m late on the draw reading this post…but it got up to a balmy 35 here today in Boston! Whoot whoot felt like summer….scary that 35 can feel so warm when your used to 10 degrees and under.
Love the citrus pic too!
Cori - I love all the pretty things you find! Vintage Revivals blog has a tutorial for that geometric wall. Check it out. She is awesome 🙂

linda - I am enjoying all the beautiful posts for spring and yours. Color…not white. Love it! My toes have not been warm for days.
Necole@seriouslysassymama - I got home from work at 1:45, made some taco soup in the crock pot for dinner, finished my geometric art for the living room, and am now waiting for my girls to get home from school. After that, heading to academy sports to buy some softball gear for an awesome 8 year old. I am tired after writing that.
Sharla - I love the color shown on the inside of that closet! I think I might have to do that. Also, I hear you on the tropical water pics – people are able to live like that every day?! I want to take a vacation right now so bad! Supposed to be almost 70 on Monday. 🙂
Stephanie Wilson - I want to be a Braverman. That is all.
Traci - I love all of these colors!!! And I love Parenthood and agree about the actor you mentioned. :]
Michelle from Australia - It’s 84 degrees F here today in Brisbane, Australia. And this is our Autumn (Fall). Our climate is very similar to Tampa, FL. I leave Australia in two weeks. And will land in totally frozen Upstate New York in 3 weeks. If Niagara Falls is frozen (again), I imagine I’m going to be a bit cold! And I can’t wait. I hope it warms up for you soon Meg.
Amy K. - It is 23 degrees here in Minnesota today, and let me just say, WE ARE THRILLED. Beyond thrilled, considering how much 23 degrees *below* zero we have had this winter.
beth larson - Hi Meg!
I just had to re-read your header and then laugh out loud! It is 23 degrees here and I am celebrating! This is the warmest it’s been here in weeks and weeks! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!! (middle of MN). Our furnace died last night too, so we are running a few space heaters and I have a t-shirt and sweater on to try stay warm…. but 23 degrees? THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
Didn’t really want to have to buy a new furnace – but I guess we don’t really have a choice,
: )
XO beth
Sara - Parenthood….yes, yes, yes. Love it!
And the last picture you posted is just about perfection. I liked your warm post, despite the fact it’s cold here again today too.
I’m working on a blog post, with a fun spring giveaway ( just because ). Don’t we all need a bit of a lift this time of year? Bring on the warmth.
Jenna - It’s currently 19 degrees here in Wisconsin and we are all like heat waveeeeeee! But I’m dreaming of not having to bundle up anymore and those cool homes in the water. I can hear the waves crashing now… 🙂
Jen - Parenthood was SOO GOOD this week! I just love Adam too–and that “spa” they went to looked heavenly. Although my man said “no way” to the mud bath! HAHA
I have been watching old “Parenthood” seasons on Netflix. It is SO. GOOD. I will be so sad when it ends someday. sniff sniff
Heather S. - LOVE Adam Braverman! Funny story – was watching the Truman Show with the hubs last night and realized that the weirdo Truman worked with at the insurance agency IS Adam Braverman! Totally funky pompadour and all. Still…that voice and those kind eyes…I’d recognize them anywhere! 🙂
Tiffany - I do not scream color at all. I am Neutrals Neutrals Neutrals, plain plain plain, greige greige greige, althought I do love yellow 🙂 I’ve tried to incorporate it into my life but its too busy for my eye. But you, you do such a good display of it without the color being too much. Thanks for sharing your inspiration today.
GB Jost - Had devotions earlier (6:50am). Joined my students for Breakfast Club (breakfast duty) from 7:30-7:50. Now drinking hot tea (with milk), and reading blogs and answering e-mail’s. My first student will be here at 8:30. Miss you so much! gb
Bethany - It’s about 15 degrees here and snowing…again. *sigh* I have been sewing with fun, bright fabrics this week so that is brightening everything up. Your pictures make me think of one my mom sent me this weekend. She was cleaning up a jar of old buttons she bought so we can use them in sewing and embroidery projects. She took a shot of them all laid out by color- so pretty! Today’s buttons don’t even compare.
Lisa - I am staying up way too late messing around on the computer. Checked your blog and love all the happy pictures! Stay warm!
Katie - Love the color. We had the jello for valentines, so easy. I was also just showing the hubs that resort too. Love.
Shibrone - I am at home in Australia, about to head in & pick up my kids from school. We’ve got a dreary Autumn day happening here, I miss Summer already! I am trying to embrace the beauty of the new season though 🙂 Reading this blog post of your I am thinking you must be hungry, all that deliciousness you want to eat all of 😀
Kristi REDISKE - I am reading your blog loving it and waiting to see your post on craft weekend to see what you all bought at the barn! I love that place- a couple friends and I are driving down it his month to go there too! It’s cold here to and I am all wrapped up too!
Julie - I am at home in New Zealand, the sun is shining, but we have the slightest autumnal feel to the air temperature. I am loving all the bright and inspiring photos you have posted about. Hope it warms up somewhat for you soon.
