hipster granny.

upon arriving in austin, i learned that the term 'hipster' describes a particular character not well received. i say, 'i love those crazy hipsters! bring on the ray bans and american spirits!' hey, if it weren't for the 'hipsters,' the gourmet coffee world may not exist as we know it. okay, okay, i'll stop defending the walking urban outfitters advertisements and get to the point.

i have always been drawn to a somewhat vintage style. not always necessarily in my clothing choices, but most certainly in my home decor. perhaps this is convenient, as i often refuse to buy anything to decorate and insist upon upcycling and repurposing anything i possibly can. today, the day i didn't have work, actually got enough sleep, and drank too much coffee, was the day i took my roommate's bachelor pad and introduced it to me: the hipster granny.

here are some of the little accents i created today:

our quaint fireplace.

coffee beans, buttons, vintage saucers, ribbons, sparkling water bottles. simple.

buttons too.

go forth and make pretty.

**please note, i either already had everything i needed (the ribbons, coffee beans, saucer) or found them (baby food jars from the family i nanny for). i spent 4.99 on candles at ross.
