Kate Schintzius

I saw this house tour on Design Sponge a few weeks ago and was amazed!  This apartment belongs to Kate Schintzius, a designer for M. Design Interiors.  I just love her use of color!  So bold and bright!  I don't know that I could quite pull off this bold, but I'm using it as great inspiration.

I've really been loving this coral color lately in clothing and design.  And I can't get over it with the blue!

This is one of the strangest, yet most interesting buildings I've ever seen.  It doesn't look real!  This is being built in the Netherlands.  I think I would take the blue one...just to be different.

Downers Grove

Downers Grove is a cute little town right near the suburb we are living in.  It's the kind of town I want to end up in.  Quaint and charming...small and full of character...but still surrounded but lots of larger towns/cities.  I fell in love with the town while driving through it last week and asked Adam to walk around it with me on Mother's Day.

There are lots of old houses that have been very well-kept.  It also has newer houses that were built to look like older homes.  Take a look:

This house was for sale.  It was built in 1898 but had been updated recently with all new modern amenities.  It was huge!!

This was a lamp post in the front of someone's yard.

And then my battery died...So these next few are iPhone photos.
