  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Photos of this apartment are *whooshing* around online.  I have to post them here as they're photos that have me gazing into them, wishing I could package up the rooms and take them home with me. You can find more information on the Busy Bee blog. In the photo above, there are pretty papers framed…

  • 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…

  • 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?!…

  • I'm such a fan of Orla Kiely – and so to see her office is quite lovely!  I took in all the products that are favorites and it was only after awhile that I noticed the dog in the office.  And the mannequin with the fabric face – a bit creepy chic for my tastes…

  • Wish there were many more photos of Olli + Lime owners' flat renovation.  The rooms I see are perfection!  Look at that gorgeous Orla Kiely bedspread in the bedroom!   This brick exterior + mini cooper are exactly what I'd love to have.  olli + lime:  Look at this cute baby from their home page
