  • 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…

  • A pretty, simple white home.  The family bought this house that had been empty for 35 years and pretty much started from scratch.  It's so orderly, and pretty.  In the photo above, I love the wood floors and simpleness of the room. The little girl, Juliette, is beautiful, but what caught my eye after her…

  • Ingrid is a Dutch designer who makes items such as the wood + wool stool seen below.  I saw some of her photos in an Apartment Therapy post today about paring down belongings to highlight what's important to you. I'd say Ingrid has pared down her bedroom to show the shoes that mean the most…

  • photo: pixeljones on flickr instant thrifting…A stack of items for the thrift store sits by my front door, waiting patiently, I think, to be taken to the thrift store.  I could go after work or at lunch, but I seem to wait for a minimum of ten items to be in the pile before I…

  • Jenny from Dos Family visitd what she calls a "white, crispy cottage" this week and shared these photos today. It is a cottage available to rent – so naturally I'd love to hop a plane and live there for awhile.  I'm sure my bosses would understand. Easy peasy to work from a white cottage, right?!…

  • images found here wishing for… an IKEA Expedit bookcase as in the first photo. Time to buy one!   watching…Drop Dead Diva, Design Star, and The Closer reading…Dune Road (by Jane Green) surviving…blind date on Saturday night.  How the HECK do people do this whole dating scene?  My married friends all sigh and say they're happy…

  • Lea lives in this Copenhagen apartment.  I adore the touches of color and the fact that storage is abundant, organized and colorful. Her decorating shows attention to the smallest of details.   Many more photos can be found here.  Photos by Lars Ranek

  • Am torn between simply tossing out all magazines I have stacked up OR arranging them neatly as shown here.  I'm leaning toward the magazine stacks because I have issues of Domino that I don't want to toss. image

  • So I'm browsing through Google Reader attempting to catch up on dozens (okay – hundreds?!) of blogs and their updates.  I am making my way through 200+ Apartment Therapy posts when I see this photo.  WHAT?  It's not my closet BUT I have the same drawers from IKEA, the same boxes in those two patterns,…

  • If I were 100% organized, I'd have my outfit + accessories laid out this way each evening rather than the lucky-for-me-each-item-goes-with-everything system of finding a pair of pants/skirt/dress in the morning then matching it to a top + cardigan + shoes – and putting them in the gym bag and hope all items are there…
