A Room with a View

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with time away from the computer and was really nice. Wanted to share this space with you today, I was especially taken in by the view in the top photo. So lovely! These photos were taken by the Australian photographer Lucas Allen. I love these two rooms and their emphasis on beautiful colors, reclaimed objects and nature. I’ve found some items from Etsy that I think would go really well in these spaces (middle image above). Found the space via the design blog Charming Quark.

1). Butterfly: Golly Bard 2). Key Rack: Half Pint Salvage 3). Deer Pillow: Utilitarian Franchise

Design Details – Mi Casa Revista

May 27, 2010

Seems I’ve got a new favorite shelter mag to share here on the blog! The design details in this space are so fun and unique. Again though, I’m wishing I could speak Spanish so I could tell you more about the owners of this home. Visit Mi Casa Revista here to see more pictures. What are your favorite shelter mags?

Handmade Finds for your Desktop

May 26, 2010

I don’t know about you – but I feel like having an inspiring place in your home where you can work and create that’s all yours is a wonderful thing. For me it’s my office, and especially the area around my desk – whether I’m working on a new design for a client or a fresh blog post it’s nice to be surrounded by beautiful things. Here are some handmade finds ready to brighten up any desktop.
