We are two sisters who love cooking, DIYing, entertaining, traveling, a good glass of wine (or two or three), photography, and pretty much anything where we can use our creativity. Our main mission is to keep an online journal in hopes of inspiring ourselves daily. If we happen to inspire others along the way, it would be an added bonus.
I am a 25 year old recent newlywed to my husband, Brian. I live in the suburbs of Chicago in a 25 year old condo. Yes, my house and I are the same age (my house being the one needing redecorating and updating). I love trying out new recipes, DIYing works of art to decorate my home, working on my photography skills, and above all making time for my family and friends (particularly my big sister Cortney). During the week you can find me wearing kaki’s and cardigans, as I am a second grade teacher. My goal is to use the creativity I use in my classroom on a daily basis in other realms of my life.
I am a 29 year old Chi-Town city gal living in a cozy condo with my boyfriend, Jeff. Monday through Friday I go by Miss Schmitt, as my main gig is working as a speech-language pathologist at a school in the burbs. Beyond my day job, I adore decorating, finding treasures at flea markets, seeking new adventures in the city, laughing, indulging in anything sweet, and spending time with friends and family (especially my lovely sis, Kali). Read along as I share my hopes, dreams, and outcomes (the good and the bad!).7 has been my favorite number for as long as I can remember. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with the “lucky 7″ saying. It actually has to do with an audition number I had for dance ages ago (wow that was a long time ago). So I thought I’d keep true to my favorite number and post 7 things I found interesting lately.

1. Aren’t these Nepali ceiling hangings fun!? I think they would look stunning for a party hanging above a long island or table.
2. I’m obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg, OBSESSED! I am unbelievably jealous of Bee, she got to spend the day playing dress up in the designers line while showcasing her shoe collection. One day that will be me Diane, one day!
3. This video of Holton Rower paintings is amazing. Isn’t it crazy how the colors don’t mix, but create stunning lines and swirls?
4. A really interesting article about the human’s desire to DIY.
5. You can buy/order candy by color. Perfect for a theme party that involves specific colors.
6. Strawberry, basil, and balsamic frozen yogurt, yum! I’m already craving the flavors of summer.
7. These story cubes are such a good idea. Perfect to spark the creative imagination is us all. I need to get some of these for my students.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
