Deliciously Dark

They promise me the days are in fact getting longer now, but when I leave the house and come back in total darkness day after day, I find that a little hard to believe.

Rather than let it drive me batty, I've decided to find inspiratino from it instead!



I'm certainly loving the uber-classic all black ensemble and the idea of sitting at such a sumptuous desk! Maybe the dark isn't so bad afterall.

Color Me Happy

Because it's finally Friday! And it's sunny...and over 70 degrees in Seattle...on October 1st! Is this the twighlight zone? Wait, no don't answer that. I'm so looking forward to a bright and beautiful fall-color filled weekend!

I'm all about color inspiration right now. Colors for our new bathroom (we're picking tile and vanities tomorrow), color inspiration for a friend's wedding, and new color ideas to carry us into a new month. I'm in the mood to mix, match and go for a bit of the unexpected.

I hope you've gotten some good inspiration from Apartment 34's September sponsors. If you haven't checked out Sugarcomb Event Design, Bella Card Company, Wendy Mink Jewelry, Dace Clothing and Stella & Dot be sure you do! Each one provides their own brand of bright and shiny eye candy.

Happy Friday luvies!

Light as Air

We finally saw the sun in Seattle after more than a week. I'd like to bottle it up and save it in spaces like these for when the next onslaught of rain comes.

They're such a great breath of fresh air.

Sitting Pretty

If you gotta work, then you might as well make it look good. If my office and desktop were this lovely, I could gladly work 24/7.
