what a pretty duo of photos from the design files.  

today's office survival kit.  Could not wake up..so extra cups of coffee in my Orla Kiely mug from Target were necessary.  then the piles on my desk, credenza and countertop were overflowing, so I had to sort them into relevant piles.  From there, I used a cute little notebook to start a running to-do list: something most…

Was intricately involved in a dream last night.  I had run around so frantic in preparing to leave work and home behind for a five-day trip to San Francisco that I arrived in SF with no luggage.  I had forgotten to pack anything.  So I called the friend I was staying with and said I needed to…

"You had me at the first glimpse." My response to the first photo of Sarah Hartill's home on Design*Sponge. Sarah's style inspiration: I find this really hard to describe, as I truly love the mix. I love mid-century modern furniture and architecture, but I also love traditional elements mixed in. I would never deck out…

I couldn't agree more with the items mentioned in this NY Times article. With the cutbacks I've had to make lately to accommodate some financial challenges, it's been invigorating in a way to find out just what I NEED to survive/live on and what money can be tucked away in savings for an emergency fund. …

karly and judd's house has left me almost speechless. (okay – I like it a lot)  this house is so airy, light, and full of perfect bits of color.  I'll just sit back and let you enjoy the photos.  Much more can be found here.

photo from the purl bee It's Monday.  Am not very awake as someone asked how my weekend was, and my reply? "Too slow." Was given a very funny look.  Took awhile to realize I answered the opposite way of how I felt.  Word dyslexia?!  Hopefully I'll wake up by this weekend. Am planning a trip…
