you know when you get lost in a "search", well that is how i stumbled upon these amazing silkscreen prints by wonder cabinet. i love them and the fact that the etsy artist, amy walsh, does the screening on old book pages just makes them that much more special (some of the books go back to the mid 1800's)! i can so see a grouping of these on a wall in my house (maybe my bedroom w/ its vastness of blank walls).... 
the items you see at marsh, a new orleans shop, just might have you rethinking exterior decor...i can see so many of these pieces translating beautifully inside of a home. this month's cottage living featured b. braithwaite's own, chaffee braithwaite, and her bungalow is all about bringing the garden indoors.
of over design?? when i reached this page in southern accents, i just stopped and stared. i fell in love with the simplicity of this look. it just felt right. so many times, we get caught up in getting things "perfect" that we tend to overdo...here is a perfect example of how nice modesty can feel....oh, and a hint of patent leather never hurts....
omg, thanks a billion seattle times for including me in your design watch!! this is the BEST WEEK EVER!
nothing makes my heart skip a beat more in design then being surprised by the unexpected. this kitchen takes the cake by introducing thrift store drafting tables for it's kitchen island. i just have such a love for bringing in vintage finds and incorporating them into the design of a home....especially when the results look so effortless! i hope y'all have a wonderful weekend! we sure are thankful to my mom for babysitting!! maybe i should send out a service announcement: watch out for new parents running kid -free!.jpg)
I could not be anymore excited and honored to be picked by terri sapienza for the WASHINGTON POST'S blog of the week!!! i discovered it while watching the runway duel b/w rami and chris....i immediately started screaming and scared the heck out of my husband who was snoring on the sofa. he doesn't really get the "blogging thing" and fell back asleep. i needed someone to cheer w/ so i called my mom to tell her the news. she thought i was calling to talk about rami getting into fashion week (like i would call my parent's house at 11:00 at night to do that)! we cheered and i ran around the house screaming and then laid in bed w/ a huge grin on my face!! thanks terra for making my week! congrats to desire to inspire and my designing life for joining me in the honor!!
