I also discovered @seventytree aka Kerry Layton via Instagram.
Check out her lovely feed or her blog for more loveliness…in the meantime, I am shopping in her store for her illustrations including the big bear above. Love!
Thought I’d let you in on my most recent interiors stalking device – Instagram!!!
Deborah @apieceofcake82 is one of my faves – she’s a master at B&W and simple Scandi style (a la A Merry Mishap). This is her styling of her son’s birthday party – can you believe it?!?! Awesome.
If you’re not on Instagram you can also check out webstagram to view her pics on your computer. Happy stalking!!!
Don’t let things like windows stop you from making your design work…this bathroom just required a little out of the box thinking…the best part is that you see more clearly when the daylight is on your face! :-)

this grilled cheese sandwich looks delicious!
Recipe below:
Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Sandwich
based on all those gorgeous green goddesses out there…
makes 1 sandwich
Ingredients
2 slices bread (we used a white bread, but one filled with lots of different whole grains and seeds would be *awesome*)
2-3 tablespoons Green Goddess Herb Pesto (recipe below)
2 slices mild white melty cheese like mozzarella
handful fresh baby spinach
¼ avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
olive oil (and butter if you’re so inclined)
Directions
Spread about 1 tablespoon of Green Goddess Herb Pesto onto each slice of bread (2 tablespoons total, but if you’re sensitive, go light, the pesto is STRONG).
On one slice of bread, add 1 slice of cheese, sliced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, spinach, second slice of cheese, then top it with second slice of bread. Press together gently.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium low heat. (If you want to use butter, add it to the oil and let it melt). Add the sandwich to the oil and cook until bread is golden brown. Press down on the sandwich lightly, then flip the sandwich over and cook until second side is golden brown.
Green Goddess Herb Pesto
Ingredients
1 clove garlic
1 (or 2 if you’re ballsy) anchovy fillet (in oil)
½ small shallot, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
handful chopped fresh Italian parsley
handful chopped kale
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped chives
¼ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Pulse garlic, anchovy, and shallot in food processor until chopped. With the food processor running, add lemon juice, parsley, kale, tarragon and chives. (It won’t process very well yet, don’t worry).
Very slowly drizzle in olive oil until kale and herbs get sufficiently chopped and everything is the consistency of a pesto. You may need more or less of the olive oil depending on how big a “handful” of herbs is to you. You can also turn off the food processor and push herbs down the side of the bowl with a spatula every once in a while.
Season to taste with salt and pepper (You probably won’t need too much salt if you used 2 anchovies).
(This makes a lot, but you will use it all for other things. We added more olive oil to make it back into a salad dressing.)
