Beautiful images from a French studio sale.
I've never wanted to be in France more than I did this weekend!
But I'm content to admire these photos from many miles away.

Here's the flat of Sarah Illenberger (3-D illustrator and designer from Berlin). Charming place to live! Here's a bit more about her:

So it's Friday. Woo hoo! Am actually on a vacation day, getting ready to go to a women's conference with my mom. Should be a fun time. This week has been crazy – including my facebook account getting "hijacked" four times…. putting in statuses that give away gift cards to Victoria's Secret and iTunes. What the…??? Add that frustration to a long workday meeting deadlines and yeah – it's time for the weekend.
Do you have any big plans for the next couple days?

Here's a new-to-me blog that's Finnish: my 2nd life. Maiju is the author who decided to one day create a workplace at home. I don't know about you but I think it's adorable…because of the industrial chic. Maiju describes it this way (according to Google translating the text from Finnish to English!): One day I just got the idea to Build this kind of a small WorkPlace out of old furniture That I Already had occurred in my home. And I think it Came out quite nicely!

Loving these images this morning.

Just picked this book up at the library. It's a new purchase by the library, and I'm the first to look at it. Am pretending it's my very own…for the next three weeks. Then someone else has asked to borrow it as well, so I must decide…..buy it? borrow it again? buy it? The book is larger than I expected it to be and so full of photos I can hardly stand it. Then when I pick it up to read it, I savor it and can only look at a page or two.
Either the book is that good or I need to get a life.

Pretty pictures, lovely accessories, gorgeous room. Would you ever guess that this is a teachers' lounge that once looked like the photos below? Crazy the difference. It's the work of Brian Patrick Flynn – a talented designer and quite the witty writer. You can find the makeover on his blog and there's a NY Times article as well. It made the press because it was all done for free or minimal costs – with most products and labor being donated. Impressive!
THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE BEFORE:
now scroll up so you can "ooh" and "ahh" over the difference in the rooms.
The makeover was documented on Decor Demon and was "produced, designed, written, directed and styled by Brian Patrick Flynn with photography by Sarah Dorio"
EDITED: Hello! Brian Patrick Flynn just wrote that he has been hired to bring the Decor Demon vibe, style, content and brand to the table. As in the HGTV Design Happens blog. Here's what he'll be up to:
