  • Picked up a copy of Living Etc. the other day….quite thankful that the barnes & noble within 20 miles of home carries this magazine.  I was wowed by three homes featured, and this "arty apartment" got me with the fabric covered cabinet in the bathroom, the pretty hallway and the spacious living room.

  • Just started reading a new-to-me blog:  kelly + olive.  The variety of posts keep me entertained and informed such as this one about transforming a porch. I love the final result.   It's been a good week so far.  I've not paid much attention to this blog but have been tidying up the apartment and…

  • "wall of summer" – a flickr image It's my birthday tomorrow and have an afternoon free today, so I'm going to go through my entire apartment and look at items asking, "Do I love it/need it?"  If it's neither of those, it's being donated this very afternoon to my favorite thrift store (it's a half…

Anne's kitchen inspiration came from an old Pepsi bottle logo with…

  • That's it. I'm going to most definitely go through piles and boxes of merely "stuff" and it has to leave – to go to friends' homes, the thrift shop and tossed out.  I love this home.  Their advice is "less is more" and the house displays that theme from top to bottom.  Here are photos…

  • Beautiful, beautiful apartment.  Loving how cozy it is and pretty.  They merged two households into one apartment – and have two dogs as well!!  AT post is here. 

  • My bedroom is currently like what I assume a teen's room looks like:  unmade bed + clothes on the floor + books and magazines in piles.  That is why this bedroom and closet appealed to me.  Can't wait to explore the rest of the photos from Super*Junk!  I love the colors, the simplicity, and the…

  • Lisbeth Harbo (of Switzerland) completed a magazine swap with me by sending an issue of Bolig Liv for me in exchange for an issue of Real Simple from the U.S. I love the pages in Bolig Liv….and it was the first time I perused the magazine in person. Here are the pages I lingered over…
