What a gorgeous, simple, white, airy home! So spacious!!
Here's the bedroom of a different home:
Glimpses of beauty and simplicity around the world.
My sleep schedule (like a baby??) has been messed up since my trip to Nebraska. While there I got used to going to sleep at midnight and getting up at 8 or 9 AM. (rough life, I know). That schedule doesn't translate so well at home..but I compromised by sleeping 11 PM to 7 AM…and then rushing around to get ready for work in 40 minutes. WHICH MEANT that I never made it to my water class when I wanted to…because it took place at 5:45 AM and that's not after 7 AM according to my logic.
Yesterday I decide that I'm going to my class all four mornings this week (mon/wed/fri/sat) and if I'm tired, I'm tired.
However, I was not counting on being so drowsy in front of my computer today that I'd actually reach for a page ON MY SCREEN to take it off what I thought was the document stand in front of me. Right. Slightly tired today but happy to have worked out on Day One.
At lunch, I do a little blog reading and find not one but TWO blogs showing off comfy, cozy beds and pretty bedrooms. NO FAIR!! (stamping my foot). I just wanted to crawl into the photos and find a comfy bed (Goldilocks much?) and snooze the day away.
click each image to go to the photo source….except the last one. I can't find the source. I'm terribly sorry! If the last photo is yours, please let me know.
Abigail Ahern's sister used the images on the wall in place of wallpaper. They're the perfect addition to the room!
Rita Konig's NYC kitchen is actually in a hallway. Looks to me like it's piles of items she loves and uses!
This morning is a cold morning – one in which I'd love to warm up by a wood stove!

What a pretty little bench! AprillAprill has much goodness to share on her blog. Just look at the following shelves!
Ever get something stuck in your head that you just HAVE TO HAVE? I have an item in mind but will make do with photos from it found on flickr.
Lotta Jansdotter has a book called Lotta's Lifestyle that I MUST BUY NOW or at least that's what my heart is calling out for. My budget has other ideas and has said we must wait for now to buy it.
Curious?
Lotta's outfit above inspired an ensemble I can create out of similar items in my wardrobe. That's the fun part! If I had the whole book (anyone want to sell me theirs?), what other wardrobe creations could I create out of my current clothing items?
I so want to go running errands this weekend in an outfit like Lotta's.

Am under the weather – yes, again. Took a month to get rid of the cough that accompanied the flu..then *bam* a cold. But it's the perfect time to stay inside, rest and look at pretty things that the internet offers..specifically pretty blogs! Here are some latest favorites.
How are you feeling?

okay – this is not from a blog but one of my junior high girls from church just tagged me in this photo on facebook… I'm tagged as someone she loves. awwww.. very sweet. that made my night! thanks, alysia!
at wide open spaces, amber listed her faves which includes a superb list. my favorite is: "Just the necessities, neatly organized. Whenever I start coveting a new kitchen or crafting tool, I go organize a closet or drawer. I get the instant gratification of seeing everything lined up in its place, looking back at me, and I feel much better. I think this rule also governs my favorite foods. I love fresh, simple foods. Like sparkling water and a slice of black bread with cheese."

That's it for now! The weekend is almost here. I have two plans: a game night with friends and church on Sunday. Ooohh and most likely a nap on Sunday afternoon.
DOS Family has posted another pretty Swedish home! Kajsa, a blogger, lives here. It's so neat and tidy!
Hello, Adorable Paris Apartment! I really like the layout, the separate dining area/office, the living area and the bedroom area. I may recognize items from IKEA but you've been personalized so very well! I'll call you Cozy, Adorable and Pretty!!
Numerous Photos + Flat Owner's Blog here. (upper left corner of the blog contains the link to an English translation)
I'm in love with the polka dot chair!!
Apartment Therapy is a wealth of inspiration and helpful hints for around the home! I've enjoyed their site for so long, and from these photos, can you tell why? These are mostly from the 2009 Color Contest.
What a pretty studio – with the exposed brick, the happy green walls..and the simple layout.
I must be craving green apples or just green at home!
The neat, tidy bedroom caught my eye immediately.
Could this apartment owner please visit me and re-do my bedroom?!
Will soon be buying similar accessories (paperwork/magazine sorter and the mirror with hooks).
