Shopping List :: Our New Bedroom

On a recent trip to cb2, I fell right in love with this amazing chair. It was as if they made it just for me!! It's chartreuse velvet and a natural/stone colored linen. This chair is the starting point for our bedroom. Mix that with the desire for something calm and not super crazy with color (per my husband's request). 

The floors will be a dark hardwood (woven bamboo) and the ceiling will white (Eichler, post & beam) and the walls will be the lightest of all light warm-ish greys. I haven't picked out anything else, but I feel good about these picks so far. What do you think??

My Favorite Granola

I got this recipe from Amanda who got it from Emily. I have no idea where Emily got it, but it's amazing.

GRANOLA
3cups rolled oats
1cup chopped pecans (you could use any nut i guess, but pecan rocks)
1cup whole wheat PASTRY flour (this is the binder...KEY ingredient!)
pinch of sea salt
1+ tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup maple syrup (use grade B!)
2tsp vanilla extract

mix all ingredients
spread on lightly oiled cookie sheet
bake at 325 for 30-35min, turning halfway through (it'll still seem soft-ish, but the cooling down will harden it nicely).
