  • The husband/wife photography duo behind The Image Is Found is hilarious, creative and quite talented. While I wholly admire their work, I adore their home.  It's light, airy, colorful and so very personalized. Adoring the orange walls.  (The description of the heart-process is here.)     images: the image is found

  •   Elisabeth of Inspirational Spaces has graciously allowed me to post photos she's taken and displays on her blog.  I adore the pins on the bedding, the pretty reading corner (note to self: imitate this reading corner), and the overall look of the homes.    

  •    Home + Vintage is a new-to-me blog that has quickly become a favorite.   Happy New Year to you!  Hope you have a celebratory evening and a restful weekend!   I'm playing it low-key as I am still getting rid of a cough I picked up over Christmas.  A couple friends are coming over to…

  • What a great idea!  And check out the couch and pillows below the portrait (if you can tear your eyes away from the brady bunch wall!)  Jennie (of Focus Jennie) got the couch for fifty dollars on Craigslist (and fixed it up to her liking). image 

  •   Until I saw this post at Desire to Inspire, I didn't know about this crush I have on these kitchens with open shelves…specifically with the IKEA Grundtal shelves.           image 1 image 2 image 3 image 4 image 5 image 6 

  • Photographer Leah Verwey has a website called Spaced which highlights creative spaces in the Portland, Oregon area.  I'm smitten with her photos of Studio Olivine & Quince Flowers and Events (they share the space).  I could barely narrow it down to a handful of photos to share with you. images: spaced   

  • This photo by photographer Lucinda Symons caught my eye in a post on Ill Seen, Ill Said.  Had to look Lucinda up and found numerous photos on her website as well as books she's photographed for that my library amazingly has on hand.   images   

  • Today I'm gazing at this beautiful photo of  yarn which is in the home of elsie of a beautiful mess.  alec vanderboom took the photos.  more can be found here. 

  •   Paris is beautiful through Charlotte's eyes.  I mean, yes, Paris is gorgeous anyway but these photos….. just wow.   many, many more Paris images here

  •     Eco-stylista has posted some beautiful chalkboards.   It's Friday. Am swamped. But I really enjoyed the few moments spent staring at these chalkboards. How is it that my apartment lacks a single chalkboard? Gotta remedy that.   images: eco-stylista
