To say we've been inspired all week is an understatement. Going to another planet, even if only in robot form, is so fun to think about, and it's a blast to dream about humans actually setting foot on Mars one day. We've been enjoying seeing the photos that Curiosity sends back to Earth of that gorgeous red planet and its stunning rocky, red landscape, so much that we just don't want this inspired feeling to ever go away. In fact, it has us wanting to dot our own home's landscape with subtle Mars designs — a reminder to always reach for the stars in our own lives!

That pendant light is beautiful. I also like some of the more literal choices, like the vintage print.
Anthropologie has some truly pretty items, and I used to buy from them. But not anymore. http://wapo.st/H3VRBO
I love those geo pillows--what a very cool idea.
I have a 1973 National Geographic map of Mars! That's pretty literal. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised the first time I watched episode seven of Cosmos and spotted the EXACT same map in the classroom :)
