Homey Away From Home

Jesse and I just got back from a two week trip to Europe! While there, we visited Krakow, Prague, Vienna, & Madrid and had an AMAZING time. I'm still digging out from piles of laundry (not to mention emails!) and adjusting to good old Eastern Standard Time, but I wanted to share with you a few homey favorites I came across during our travels.

Shortly after arriving in Poland, Jesse and I wandered into Krakow's Old Town and hit up the Main Market Square. There was amazing food (pierogi, anyone?), plus various vendors selling decor & kitchen supplies:

After a few days, we left Krakow on the overnight train to Prague. Once recovered from a not-so-restful night of travel, we headed out to explore the city on foot. Below is an awesome wreath I spied on a door in Prague's Hradčany district, the neighborhood surrounding the castle:

From Prague, we took the train down to Vienna. HOW AMAZING is this apartment kitchen? We stayed with my old friend in Vienna and I was totally blown away by her place. I just loved the green glass, in-the-wall wine rack, & cozy sitting area. A great use of space and gorgeous to look at!

In Madrid, our final destination, we visited the San Miguel Market and had a killer lunch (more on that later). While most of the stalls were filled with delicious treats, one had these chalkboard mugs... possibly a good use for some of my leftover chalkboard paint?

We had a wonderful trip, but there's nothing like travel to remind me that there's no place like home. Whether at home or on the road, stay homey!
