Window Seating

I have always had a bit of an obsession for window seats. They are just the perfect place to cozy up with a book and a coffee (or any other hot beverage of your choosing).


My dad installed a window seat in his kitchen a few years back, and it made my day. Of course this was after I moved out on my own to a different city, so I couldn't really enjoy it as much as I would've liked. So when I go for a visit, I am always sitting in the window nook enjoying the view, a book and a coffee.

Unfortunately, I am living in a basement at the moment and there's no way I can recreate this in my apartment. I have created a little reading nook which is quite lovely, but it just doesn't compare to a wonderful window seat. As for right now, I'll just be dreaming about these awesome window seats, and hoping that one day I will have one for my very own.

She returns

And when I say she, I hope you know what I am talking about. xoxo Gossip Girl - that's who. Season premiere of Gossip Girl was one last night, oh how I love thee. And the biggest reason I love Gossip Girl is the fashion, oh the fashion AND the amaze-balls decor in almost every shot. I am in total inspiration mode when I watch Gossip Girl. Here's a couple of my favourite rooms. I. Die.

From the top


Hello and welcome to Owl and Fawn.

We are really excited about getting started! We hope to make this blog a haven for all things home decor, fashion, food, art and we'll include some little snapshots of our own lives.

As home decor fanatics, we've self-diagnosed our home decor styles as modern-eclectic and classic-romantic - we'll let you figure out who's who ;) In the word's of my man Leo Davinci: "art is never finished, only abandoned". Meaning, our spaces are constantly changing and never finished in our eyes, so we'll share the process of change and inspiration as it comes.

And now we will leave you with a little interior inspiration. Drool feast your eyes on these babies.
