Glimpses of beauty and simplicity around the world.
Am always a fan of Benita's home (at Chez Larsson) and am especially fond of this new kitchen table she bought and the pretty lamp as well. She has been making a lot of changes during this transition time in her life from a three-person-household down to two. I've enjoyed reading about all the changes and admiring her photography and her impeccable organization skills.
Friday.
Under a deadline.
But must share this new wishlist item.
MOOP has two new bags.
Isn't this backpack adorable?!
Or maybe I want to be just as chic as the model is!
Three brothers got a bedroom re-done and requested it be orange, airplanes and not girly. I love the room, and I'm a girl. But it's truly not a girly room. I love the mom's attention to details. Oh and that mom? She has a blog…a pretty blog!

If only I had room for this in my apartment! Really liking the idea of three small tables positioned restaurant-style for a dinner party at home. Plus the chalkboard wall, and the white-framed photos, the lamps, the stack of books. Let's just say I like it all!
A series of posts starts now….of beauty found on some Norwegian blogs. These images are from "the house by the stream".
I don't know where she got the cups in the upper left corner of the photo (the orange, berry and green ones) but I'm in love. Seriously. In love. I want to marry those colors and the cups.
Then there are these bursts of color…….along with the pretty crate, the wire basket and HELLO beautiful papers.
These are adorable play stoves for children!
I may have to follow DOS Family's DIY instructions
to make one for my niece and nephew!
I can't stop staring at the image above! Matthew Mead, in his new magazine Holiday, has some amazing images. He's helped me like blue more than ever before because of this table setting:
The magazine has recipes, crafts, and all sorts of good things. The holidays really do start in about six or seven weeks. (maybe I need a current calendar in front of me to tell me when the holidays start. sheesh.) Can you even believe it?! Guess I should order his magazine. Apparently ordering now has the magazine's premiere issue arriving in November!
By the way, it's Friday. The weekend will be a much needed, much anticipated respite from a crazy, drama-filled intense work week. Big plans include a friend's wedding and getting together with another friend to recreate a painting found on a decor blog. If all goes well, will post photos here. Little weekend plans include sorting linens to give some away, reading a new book, possibly seeing the movie "It's Kind of a Funny Story", and having dinner with a friend at our favorite restaurant – Stir Crazy.
Now the question is: What are you doing this weekend?

The home of Anja-Patrice Hansen is a charming little thing! I want to pull up a chair in the living room – to play games or have some tea! Then it would be a great afternoon to curl up in the little reading corner to read, crochet or nap! The sheepskin throw looks perfect for a cool fall afternoon.

Loving the photos posted on the IKEA Family Live section of flickr.
Her photo caption is: "The heart of my home is here." Awwww…so sweet!
