What a beautiful change from mostly white with pops of color. This room looks stunning!

It's Friday evening. Munched on a salad for dinner while watching a new episode of Psych – and laughing out loud – a lot. The windows are open and the air conditioning is off. I can hear the crickets chirping and the neighbor's kids marching up and down the front walk singing "Here comes the bride!" and laughing.
Found out today that the roof repair guy will need attic access to all the units in my building (there are 16 condos/apartments in groups of four), and naturally the attic access is in each master bedroom's closet. Who has a neat closet ready for the building owner and a repairman to walk through? Not me. Thus this weekend has turned into Project Closet – on hyperspeed. As soon as I post here, the timer is being set for 15 minutes, and progress in the bedroom and closet will be made. I have already taken "before" photos. I'll share them with you along with the after photos.
Meanwhile, enjoy these photos from Bliss – of a home I wish I could live in this summer!

Barb of HappySimple and her husband have decorated their apartment to suit their lifestyle and needs. I love it! It's easy to get overwhelmed by too many blogs, magazine photos and decorating shows and lose sight of what you really need (or…don't need) for your own living space. Barb decorated for her needs and her guests love the decor! I do too.

Anna-Malin just went shopping. LOOK at those colors she mixed together. I will be doing that this fall!
She blogs mostly about her own home, which is something I keep intending to do. Why re-hash photos that float around online when no one has photos of the little corners of my home?! Will work on that.
Meanwhile, what do you think of Anna's home? The white with color, the rusticness of some of the furniture pieces, her great eye for design. Oops..guess I'm swaying your reply. Curious to know what you think of this home.
Oh..and I use google translate to read her blog. I have Google Chrome as my browser instead of Internet Explorer, and then use a Chrome Extension that uses google translate to translate any webpage I visit that is not in English. It will tell me the page is in ______ language…would you like it translated? You can say yes or nope.
Back to Anna's home….

Congratulations Kara Haupt for getting your photos and writing in a magazine (Elle Girl Korea). Your dresser is one of my favorite photos ever that have been posted to this blog. It's such a personalized, whimsical addition to any bedroom or closet!

So…I visit a small town theater last night to see the Leonardo di Caprio film "Inception". I picked up a friend's daughter to go with me and we stopped for snacks to take into the theater, then we met up with a friend of mine.
I had a voucher for a free ticket after purchasing some products at Walgreens recently. The ticket agent processed the ticket while I dug around in my wallet for my bank card to pay for another ticket and a soda. The agent had me sign for the $7 ticket (small town price at a small town theater) and the confusion began. I couldn't figure out why she charged my card for a ticket then wanted to charge me again for another ticket and the soda. She couldn't figure out why I was challenging her. sheesh. we went 'round and 'round… and finally she shook her head to clear it, realized that the free ticket voucher had issued a receipt I'd signed and that I hadn't yet turned over my bank card to pay for the other items.
THAT made sense. Not a good start to a night at a film that makes you think, and think, and think some more when you leave the theater and try to get a good night's sleep.
I also managed to declare loudly that my friend didn't need to pay me for the whole ticket since SHE BOUGHT THE CANDY. I'm sure the ticket agent thought "ummm..you didn't buy any candy yet…… ma'am..please leave the premises!" but she didn't say a word.
Did YOU see inception? What did you think? You can email me your thoughts. I'd love to bounce some ideas off you about Inception. I'll tell you this much: I will be seeing the film again in the near future.

Mille owns the vintage clothing shop, Carmen, in Copenhagen. Her home appeals to me because I live in an apartment that began bland. I can't picture Mille's home starting out as anything but fascinating and moving on to intriguing. The photo above is my favorite..but I have a fondness for the flower photo below as well.

This Copenhagen apartment in an 18th century building is decorated in a way that has a tangible mood – with the grays, the mix of older and newer items as decoration….it all works to create a definite statement. I'm diggin' it.

Jane Foster shared some of her summer living room photos.
I love the airiness, lightness, and tidiness of the room!
