I love how black and white has been used so wonderfully and unabashedly in this home! From the living room to the kitchen, dining room, bedroom and beyond. I thought it’d be fun to pair the home with some colorful Etsy finds.

I found this fun space via Emmas Design Blog who came across it in a recent email from Hops Shop.

Items from Lu Summer’s Etsy shop can be found here.

So fun to find a Vancouverite’s etsy shop I’ve not seen before.

Down Home Amy’s gorgeous handmade items all feature her own illustrations – they’re fun aren’t they? Amy screen-prints and sews each item in her east-side Vancouver studio. It’s great to see that her creations are made from organic cotton and earth friendly fabrics.

Click here to visit her shop.

Homes like this one always remind me to look on the bright side of life! And, yes, lots of white in this space. Definitely one of my favorite looks these days – what I really like about this space is just how fun it is. I love that each of the rooms has a few different pops of bright color – making it friendly and vibrant and not at all stuffy or pretentious.

Wish I could share more about the home’s owner – but I found the room on a European page of Styleroom – click here to see more images.

Sweet Eventide was recently featured on Vicki’s blog: Click here to visit the shop.

Photographer and blogger Vicki Dvorak recently wrote to let me know about the new look at her blog – Simply Hue. I’ve got to say it’s just gorgeous! Her blog has recently taken on a new focus – and even more of her posts will now feature artists and designers. I’m really enjoying the new concept – click here to take a peek.

Lackluster Vintage Co.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I wanted to post about a new vintage shop I discovered and then I’ve got to get to work (am a bit behind already today!) – do check back throughout the week though, I have lots of great things ready to be shared…

I think you’ll agree with me, Lackluster Vintage Co. is anything but lackluster – click here to visit this wonderful vintage shop! So many pieces I’d like to have in my home. This same talented curator also has a gorgeous jewelry shop here.

I found these romantic photos from Kristy Bee recently on Etsy. Do you ever look at an artists work and want to be part of the world they’ve created? It happens to me a lot.

It only takes a minute and I’m daydreaming about the future or remembering favorite moments from the past. Kristy has loved photography for many years and with each of her photos she looks to find beauty in ordinary life – I think she’s done a wonderful job of achieving this.

On a side note – how’s your week going so far? My computer “challenges” from last week actually gave me some insight – made me realize some negative thinking that had creeped into my life without me even realizing it. When you’re a web designer deadlines pop up here and there – really very unexpectedly. I’ve gotten used to this over the years. But I realized at some point I gave up on the possibility of actually getting ahead of schedule with my work. Sure it’s not possible all the time but I think with the right outlook it’s more possible than I previously thought. And that is pushing me forward this week!
