Wow. Leah this is so homey and serene, I love it! I like how you kept the original tile in the black and white bathroom. It gives me some great inspiration for ours that is very similar. Also, can we be friends? We also live in Silver Spring :)

This area of your kitchen is identical to the setup of ours! Our house was built in 1963. A few differences: our tiny wall oven is original, and the drawer under the stove is usable (we found out the hard way that it can only store certain things). I'm curious to see what else you'll do to update it! Do you have a glass cutting board built into the laminate countertop? We do!

I like the idea. My best friend's mother gave us a guest book when we bought our house, and I thought it was such a cute idea. I just keep it in the guest room, so if someone wants to sign it, they can. Why would you force them to?

These are beautiful. I have Alice in Wonderland, which is my favorite, and a few others already. But it really annoys me that they're doing almost all the same books as the Penguin Cloth covered books! I'm not going to buy the exact same books twice, even if they are incredibly beautiful.

Where are the little wire wall baskets in the first picture from? I clicked through most of the links and didn't see them...

So random. I picked up a few from the liquor store warehouse awhile ago, and used them for this same purpose! Great minds think alike! :)
