take me to santa barbara

i know i'm not alone when i say that i'm pretty much done with winter. yes, there's still a part of me that hesitates to say that because i really try to appreciate and soak up all of individual seasons since there are so many things i truly love about each. but i'm ready to walk outside without feeling like i want to cry, and getting out of bed in the morning is such.a.chore. because it's just so dang cold.

which is why i've decided i'd like to go on vacation in santa barbara. and i've decided that this little house will do just fine. isn't it charming? i love that it feels like a real home instead of just a vacation house with a few leftover folding chairs and random furniture so that you don't have to sit on the floor (although truthfully i'd probably still take it :). i'm such a sucker for slipcovered dining chairs and am loving those barstools, along with pretty much all of the textiles. 

i can just picture myself waking up after a wonderful nights sleep, ready to greet the day by enjoying a cup of coffee on the little balcony outside of my bedroom, overlooking the gardens. ah yes. yes, that will be just fine.

but seriously, if you have an actual vacation coming up (not the virtual kind that i tend to take quite often) consider me jealous. i do hope one comes around at some point this year, but i suppose only time will tell.

hope you all have the best day. lovelovelove.
