With St. Patty's day right around the corner, I was thinking about whether or not to do a post on greens or green inspired spaces, but then after my Parakeet post I couldn't stop day dreaming over aqua and gold. Plus I put some gold sheets on my bed and with the pale aqua walls = yum! I love those colors together but especially the retro 1960's faded gold and aqua that you might find in a vintage Julie Andrews film or even in Mad Men. So here's my cheers to green via aqua and gold! How about you what are your fav color schemes??

Lovely cups + plates! And that handyman bird looks like he's into construction works, on his way to measure a nest! Very DIY :)

Your blog is amazing. I could live in it I think, surrounded by all the prettiness. My goodness, you have such an eye for the uncommonly beautiful and fresh. I delight in the sunny cheerfulness of this particular post. You have brought some sunshine on my overcast day in Norway.
