This is a space built using beautiful materials, and with a mindful emphasis on wise use of space. It has all the essentials- kitchen, dining, living, bath and bed… in 200 square feet. I love the description given by the architects, Oslo-based Rintala Eggertsson; this is exactly how I would describe what I want in …
But I will not accept the alternative. I’m so grateful for sites like workisnotajob and workawesome. They remind me that this dream of living life outside the box can and will eventually happen for me if I keep at it and always keep striving to get better.
I love everything in this pretty little online boutique, including their lookbooks. Here are a few quick examples I wanted to share with you! Comment to share with us some of your favorite online (or brick & mortar) shopping spots for the home!
As you might recall from my Top Men of 2010 post, I like to share great pictures of the hottest celebs of the moment (though I’d like to think my picks are timeless.) Well, here are some more gorgeous guys I’ve found, and all in stark, beautiful black and white photographs. If you have a …
Here are a couple images that have made me get that tell-tale, quick-beated ache in my heart that says, “YES, this space is amazing.” I love finding an image like that. I scroll through photography and interiors blogs at lightning speed, I know as fast as I can scroll if I love it or hate …
Enjoy these fabulous images that beautifully walk the line (and blur it) between interiors and fashion.
Living in our little cabin here in Alaska has made me really love cabins, as well as any little structure that looks at all inhabitable. Or maybe that’s just the high price of real estate coupled with our never-ending debt. Either way, a prefab, modular, shipping container, caboose, caravan… these all sound like pretty amazing …
Fabulous News I just read in Elle Decor that Anthropologie is unveiling small design studios within 12 stores! They will now have designers in-house to assist with options and decision-making, swatches and samples, and even inspirational books and magazines in the 12 stores included in the rollout. I am really excited about this especially since …
My father is an incredible artist and I think that’s where I’ve inherited a lot of my ecclectic and free ideas about art. Both my parents have a beautiful sense about art and home, and often my mother has inspired, envisioned or “commissioned” my father’s pieces. He throws pottery mostly, but also sculpts, draws, paints… …
This is a look I’ve been noticing everywhere- the open closet or even open racks in the bedroom or in place of laundry storage or a coat closet. I love it- touches of retail styling always appeal to me for some reason. My husband on the other hand is more of a out-of-sight kind of …
Gunmetal, slate, heather, charcoal, graphite, smoke… I don’t care, I love it, give me the gray! If there is a sweater offered in several colors in a catalog, if any shade of gray is an option I’m probably nearly halfway sold. There are warm grays, cool grays, barely there shades that offset whites, and values …
As much as I love the idea of designing and controlling every detail of new construction, there is something I have come to appreciate about an old building. It doesn’t even have to be that old- just used before; something with history is best, but anything with a history will do. It’s like buying clothes …
There are so many things I want to share with you, but alas I am not a robot and require sleep! I’ve been so busy during the day, and yet so caught up and inspired by night with what I find “falling down the rabbit hole” as I call it- that’s my euphemism for having …
Ever since I read the Fountainhead I’ve been totally smitten. I checked it out from the library repeatedly over a number of my years as a teen. I became so attached to the copy and each time I finished it, I inscribed a minuscule initial and date in the back blank pages of the book. …
I’ve seen a ton of celebrities’ home around the web lately- some beautiful, some not so amazing. Most of the images I share here are from a fun blog called Hooked On Houses where you can find the rest of each house featured here and also a ton more celebs’ digs I couldn’t fit here- …
