Cute snow boots

It was raining today in Ann Arbor, and all I wanted was for it to snow instead - it's a much prettier walk than rain with a suede tote bag & no umbrella.  Which then got me thinking about the oh-so-dreaded dilemma I have yet to solve: what am I going to do about snow boots???  Find cute new ones, of course!

Spool 72 Alpine Snow Boots - I love these. Functional without being too chunky.

Sperry Hingham Boot  - Has the feel of a rainboot, but without the full-calf stiffness. Great to wear if you walk to work!

Sperry Shearwater Boot - All the time, dependable, classic, done.

Pajar Gianna Boot - Definitely distinctive & stylish!

Project New Apartment: Kitchens!

So update on Project New Apartment: I found THE ONE but am not likely to get it. Sad. I hate when I just barely miss things.

But anyway, must move on & not get too attached. So we go on to talking about kitchens! I'm feeling very inspired by these lovely masterpieces lately.

Oh, yum. This is the front runner. It's got the deep navy walls I've been dreaming about, fantastic copper accents, and it will work well with already installed white appliances. 

So cute and great.

But as much as I love the industrial-rustic chic kitchen look, I can't get this retro mint color off my mind - I think an oven this color would be so adorable. Can one paint an oven? Hmm...
