isn’t it fantastic

i’m such a glutton for wes anderson, and fantastic mr. fox seriously rocked my world. i’m itching to get my hands on this fantastic book chronicling the making of the film. it includes wes anderson’s drawings (swoon), along with his annotated scripts; pictures of props, sets and puppets; the chaffin illustrations; stills from the film; concept designs and character development drawings; material swatches for costumes; and technical drawings and interviews with wes and eric anderson, jason schwartzman and liccy dahl. yes, please!

while the mountain man + i were road-tripping through the patagonias, we came upon a small lakeside town that felt like home. not in the “this reminds me of the place i grew up” kind of way, but rather that warm enveloping feeling of absolute belonging. i think of that town every day, and daydream of opening a small bed + breakfast there…a dream i hope to make a reality.
this week i’m grateful for experiences that inspire dreams, for they are my greatest motivator in life. what are you grateful for this week?

sanna dullaway professionally retouches and colorizes old photos, and on occasion, does the same to iconic photographs. here is a sample of some of my personal favorites, but check out more here, here, and here.
saguaro

having lived in salt lake for over a year now, i find i don’t miss california anywhere near as much as i thought i would. in fact, the places i miss are spots i hadn’t been to in years prior to moving – predominately, the desert. palm springs, amboy, indio, and naturally, joshua tree, all hold a special place in my heart. i’ve had countless adventures in that great expanse, and regularly find myself longing to return.
i’m certain i’ll make a weekend (hopefully a rather long weekend) escape out there this year, and while i’ve been dying to visit the ace, i’m feeling pretty smitten with the soon to open saguaro. perhaps it’s because we’re in the middle of winter here and devoid of the bright flowers that usually color the valley for us, but something about the bold bursts of color draws me in like the warm desert sun. learn more and book reservations to be one of the first guests here. maybe i’ll see you there!

patti smith has been an inspiration and icon to me since i was in high school, and my adoration of all she does has yet to dwindle or cease. she currently has a solo exhibition in cincinnati of her polaroids, taken over the decades she has been performing. learn more about the show, and watch a great 3 minute interview with her for the bbc here.

few textures grab my attention the way brick + wood do. i love raw materials in buildings, and these two together seriously rock my world. add some giant windows and i’m in heaven. what are some of your favorite textures in a home?

after years of renting apartments + homes, we decided that this was the year to start saving to buy a house. we’re constantly stricken with a serious case of wanderlust, and find ourselves wandering the globe every few months. so naturally, our plan to save for a home of our own will keep us tied to the ground for longer than we’re used to.
while at first we wondered what on earth we would do with ourselves, it’s given us a great opportunity to be grateful for what is around us. we live on an amazing mountain (literally) full of epic trails, ski resorts, and views all the way to the great salt lake. and just a few hours away are the majestic deserts of moab + zion, perfect for weekend getaways. this funny little state offers us so many great things to do without breaking the bank, and for that, i couldn’t be more grateful!
what are you grateful for this week?
