::making a house a home::

We've been in our home for almost 4 months now. Luckily, we've been able to acquire a couple big pieces (like this sofa -- oh, Restoration Hardware!) that we love. I started a secret board on...

::soon::

It's almost here! If you follow 6 petals on Instagram you probably saw a sneak peek of a few items. And there's LOTS more to be photographed. The first round of the 6 petals vintage clothing...

::silky floral::

If you're a regular here, you know that I'm a big fan of flowers. It's all over my Pinterest and played a large role in my branding for 6 petals. So it was love at first sight when I saw these...

::DIY // ring holder::

This is another project that took care of some much needed organization for my jewelry (see the other one here). I've been using these vintage bobbins to hold rings on top of my dresser, but...

::snapshots::

Thankfully, we've been spending the last couple weekends enjoying our home. One weekend was sunny, this last one was snowy. We're slowly filling the house with furniture and decorations we love. A...

::winter wonderland::

This is the first snow I've seen since we moved to Virginia. I was that girl who threw on a beanie and boots to go play in it. It fascinates me that this white stuff falls from the sky. That's what...

::DIY // necklace holder::

Finally got around to making some things for the house. First up, a necklace holder from some pieces I've been collecting. Let's just say I have a lot of pieces sitting and waiting for the right...

::saturday::

It's been one of those "will the weekend ever get here?!" kinda weeks. Luckily, it did. source

::hexagon ring::

Love at first sight. To further my strange obsession with the number six. I blame my older brother. source

::artist spotlight // caro-ma::

While I should be finishing up our save the dates, I got a bit lost on Caro Ma's tumblr. I'm a sucker for funky collages. More about this Parisian artist: “It’s the nostalgia of childhood, a...

::nye::

Thanks for the good times, 2012. And thank you for following along this year. CHEERS!

::4 days::

I"ll be spending the next 4 days tackling a loooong and neglected to-do list. Items include: finishing & sending our Save the Dates decorating bookshelves in the house a few DIY projects two logo...

::how did that happen?::

It's been quiet here on the blog, but life isn't the same. I'm not really sure how Christmas Eve Eve snuck up so quickly. My mind may still be in October! image via here

::album art::

I made the switch from Pandora to Spotify a while ago and haven't looked back. I love that I can listen to entire albums from new artists. When I'm designing for hours on end, I throw on my...

::interiors::

This space is so clean and simple. I'm not sure where I can find those light bulbs, but I will hunt for them. We've been really good about incorporating plants into the house because Jay is really...

::a bit of christmas spirit::

I picked up a few Cyber Monday deals from some of my favorites to get me in the Christmas spirit. (the new issue of Kinfolk Magazine and Christmas cards from Rifle Paper Co.) This is the first year...

::today::

I feel thankful most days, but especially today. Thank you, friends & family. source

::florida on my mind::

By this time tomorrow night, I'll be hanging out with my little sister! It's been 6 months since I've been home and it's really all I've been thinking about since Monday. My favorite thing in the...

::stunning::

The only word to describe these images by Cozbi Jean Hultz.

::shop update // rustic home decor::

There's lots of new vintage making it's way into the 6 petals shop. If you want to be the first to know when new items hit the shop, follow 6 petals on Twitter and Facebook.

::copy cat::

This is the look I'm going for in my new office/studio space. It helps that I have a lot of the same pieces too: tall metal locker, antlers, wooden shelves and compartments, rustic spools, old...

::coupledom::

We're starting to get things settled in our new home. And, it still doesn't feel real sometimes. It's like I'm on a long vacation in someone's house. There are times when I still think my...

::for print::

With a wedding in just under 7 months, I suppose it's time to start planning. I've been turning to my typography board for a bit of inspiration for Save the Dates, a return address stamp, and all...

::it's time::

::sleepless weekend::

I'm quite certain I won't be sleeping much this weekend. I will be driving, overdue chatting and drinking bottles of wine with an old friend (see you soon, Katie!), meeting a bunch of creative...

::artist spotlight // threepenny bikes::

I came across Threepenny Bikes very randomly, but now I'm dreaming of my own custom bamboo bike. Look at those beauties! Hand crafted from high quality materials and truly one of a kind. "Each...

::transitions::

In a couple weeks Jay and I will be moving into our first home. A beautiful house with room(s) to grow and play. It also means that I'm pinning places & spaces like a mad man, getting tons of ideas...

::make time for these::

The plan is the make time to work on fun projects that have been sitting on the back burner. I have a few vintage "objects" that I'd like to turn into light fixtures, fabric scraps just begging to...
