Pop of Yellow: My Tivoli Radio

(Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post, I just really love it)

One sweet thing about M. is that he likes to surprise me. Take the time a copy of Elle Decor showed up at my door. Unbeknownst to me, he signed me up for a year subscription. 

Another prime example is this little Tivoli Radio in  the happiest yellow, which was a 'just because' gift. Not only does it look perfect (I love the retro vibe) in my space, it also hooks up to my ipod/iphone/laptop and has excellent sound quality.

Truth be told, M. said he was tired of listening to music off my 'crappy' laptop speakers while he was here. I have to admit, music sounds so much better coming from this little yellow box, and now I always have music playing in the background while I work on renderings and designs. A home filled with music is a happy and inspiring home!

Big thanks to M. for this gift that brings me joy each day! You're the best.

Yellow and Grey Toile Plate

Admittedly, I've been pretty shy about sharing the blog around to people I actually know. Another goal that I have for 2013 is to tell more people about it. I'm proud of it, and I should show it off! My boyfriend's mom recently discovered it (sneaky, sneaky) and read my post featuring this room (still one of my faves) in which I state my love for a good yellow and grey colour scheme:

Being the thoughtful person that she is, when she was out shopping she saw this and thought of me and picked it up as a little gift:

 I just love it! It's the perfect addition on top of a stack of my decor magazines:

Also, it reminds me so very much of these darling curtains in a bathroom by Sarah Richardson:

I'll be sharing more on my shelf styling next week! Stay tuned. xo
