  •   Rainy, fall morning = need to look at this bright yellow kitchen shown in Marie Claire Maison!  I was only going to show the yellow kitchen but then found these charming children's bedrooms – most which have pink in them.  Pardon me while I revert back to being an eight year old girl dreaming…

  •   Haldane Martin moved into his Cape Town, South Africa home a mere one week before the house tour photos were taken.      ][       I'm smitten with his use of color in the bedroom and bathroom, the pretty dining room artwork pronouncing "it's beautiful here", and the cozy corner that is…

  •   Dos Family = my most favorite house tour blog. This time Jenny (one of the co-authors of Dos Family) features her own home.  What I love about it: White painted floors Stacks of magazines You can tell someone really lives there! It's not all matchy-matchy Organized office Brightly colored futon/couch Pink kitchen cabinets Loads of…

  •   I can barely put up a small tree for Christmas – once a year – much less decorate for each season.  Thus I am choosing to live vicariously through Amy's decor this fall.  She has adorable cookie jars with labels, pumpkin decor, apples and so much more.  Visit her blog to see more photos.…

  • Why is it so fun to see creative children's rooms whether you have kids or not?  I don't but these rooms charmed me immensely.  The bed in that first photo seems a cozy place to hide out, read, play, and pretend.   Good thing you can't hear me coughing while typing this.  Someone finally tossed…

  • Through Kim Vallee, I found a new-to-me blog that is a new favorite:  ourhaus.  Jodi shares about how she created an office out of a loft area at home.  I adore the colors she chose and how she organized every little thing!  Naturally I think it's great that many of her items are from IKEA.…

  • I'm here.  Surprise!  Am on Day Three of a fever that is tagging along with the flu. So far this week between coughs, I caught up on sleep and TV shows (How I Met Your Mother, the Big Bang Theory, New Adventures of Old Christine, Top Chef, Models of the Runway, Biggest Loser and Modern…
