• Thanks for all the questions!! it might be a while before I’m back but keeps sending the questions.

    – Tallulah

    If you're familiar with the interior design company Sixx Design… the Novogratz family who had a reality show on Bravo about their decorating and house full of kids…. you'll recognize the name Tallulah – she's one of the twin daughters. She has a blog that is all about answering people's questions. It's cute and worth a look!

  • yippee!  found a new-to-me blog {sunken treasure} that is loads of fun. I adore the author's new home for this new year.

    Beautiful bedding for a "tween girl" according to the article, but I think it's gorgeous for any age girl!

    Wow.

    A beautiful home by architect/graphic designer Jenny Francis.
    I cannot even pick a favorite room – they're all too pretty.

    Details on the rooms' contents can be found here.

  • La tartine gourmande - new kitchen 1

    I'm a longtime fan of Bea's blog La Tartine Gourmande.  Bea is a French expat who lives in Boston with her husband and her daughter Lulu.  Bea's blog is full of gorgeous photography and scrumptious looking food.  When she revealed her new kitchen to readers, I knew I had to post the photos here for you!

    House Doctor's spring 2011 catalog is chock full o' pretty things. 

     

    It's Monday. Thought I had the flu this weekend – was exhausted and headachey.  Isn't that a cheerful note?!  This weekend I did get to see Country Strong (I liked it but it didn't get good reviews),  ordered chinese takeout and watched Dinner for Schmucks with a friend,  then the next day watched football (go packers!) and then attended a Sunday night wedding that was gorgeous, touching and quite fun.  The highlight of the reception was the bride & groom's first dance but also a six year old boy, Seth, who stole the show with his dance moves.  

    Looking forward to dinner this week with little Seth and his family as Seth's older brother returns home from Texas for a visit. 

    How was your weekend?

    Beautiful children's rooms via krickelin-krickelin.  You'd think I'd have children from all these children's room postings, but I don't.  I do glean decor and storage ideas from the rooms though! 


  • First of all, these photos are from Si's blog French by Design.  Totally worth checking out. (Hi, Si!!). Secondly, how pretty is this Parisian home?  I have just finished looking at more than a few blog entries of homes that are filled with matchy-matchy items. I looked at my friend and declared matching items are so not my style.  Then I saw these photos of Zoe's home and all was well with the world again!

  • I have sweets on the brain.  Chocolate, caramel, lemon drops..you name it…probably because I'm back at the gym putting in miles on the track and minutes in the pool.  All that activity doesn't really go with eating sweets but I'd like it to go hand in hand!

    With sugar on the brain and my stomach growling, I did some research and found this adorable company called Sweet Junkie.  They have candies that I read about in British children's books and some I'd never heard of.  I can't wait to try some pear drops! I should also try some of the sugar free candies as well – better for me.  

    Alright, if I can't have some candy this evening, I better go walk the track and listen to some Kenny G.  Or  maybe the Hairspray soundtrack!
