happy weekend // currently

proud of // the new blog redesign! (if you read our blog in a feed, make sure to come to the actual site to check it out) it’s so cool to see our site looking pretty much exactly like the draft we designed in illustrator & photoshop. i’m learning to really love the process of translating design elements into web. and k tells me that he secretly loves figuring out the css when i tell him i want something new on the site. nerd alert times two, i know.

enjoying // our home coffee bar! you might remember that we set this up a few weeks back, but we finally took the time last night to get it all organized just the way we want it, and i’m in love. photos coming next week.

loving // the somewhat overcast weather these past few days has lent itself to some really beautiful natural light seeping in through our kitchen window, and i’m inspired to start snapping more photos of our mornings and weekend afternoons. i got a few good shots of k making coffee this morning and can’t wait to share soon.

a few links from around the web:

if you’re looking for a fun weekend project, check out this tutorial on diy polaroid coasters. ashly and i made a few of our own last night via skype and so far, they look great! a very inexpensive and fairly easy project.

inspiration for a future mudroom. (someday when our entryway isn’t the remainder of a residence hall)

love the newest giant poster from pop chart labs featuring one of my favorite things: vegetables! the coffee and beer ones are amazing, too.

naturally ella is my new favorite food blog. i want to make all of the breakfasts. we made the roasted garlic sweet potatoes with poached egg earlier this week, and i’m thinking of trying out the whole wheat vegan cinnamon rolls this weekend.

in case you missed some of our other posts this week, i posted a new playlist, wrote about a new series we’re starting featuring readers’ favorite coffee shops, and shared a grapefruit-cayenne sangria recipe.

what’s everyone doing this weekend? we’re hoping to find a fish fry tonight that’s better than the one we went to a couple weeks ago (any suggestions, omahans??) other than that, it looks like we’re in store for another cold weekend, so maybe we’ll just stay inside and make lot of delicious breakfasts and enjoy our newly organized coffee bar. oh! and maybe work on expanding our record collection to more than 2. (although i could never get sick of simon + garfunkel or james taylor, thankfully) have a great weekend, everyone!

    Thanks for introducing me to Naturally Ella! I’ve just gotten caught up reading recipes and posts for the past 20 minutes. I’m pretty sure that’s my new favorite food blog now :-)

    Also, how amazing is Elsie’s mudroom?! Seriously, I’ve been daydreaming about it all week. (dork alert!)
