Glimpses of beauty and simplicity around the world.
I'm in love.
"You had me at the first glimpse."
Sarah's style inspiration: I find this really hard to describe, as I truly love the mix. I love mid-century modern furniture and architecture, but I also love traditional elements mixed in. I would never deck out an entire space in one style. I am constantly pulling images from various sites and posting them on my inspiration board. When I look back the only element consistent in all the shots is usually a mid century modern piece.
I couldn't agree more with the items mentioned in this NY Times article.

there seems to be a citrus theme this week!
I’m currently reading “The Chocolate Lovers Club” – a cute british chick lit novel, but man, it’s got me craving chocolate! must not give in!
just finished watching American Idol. My picks for bottom three: Scott, Lil and Chris (had to pick a third). Favorites: Allison and Danny.
Did not get to hear Adam sing as the show went long. Thanks, DVR!
karly and judd's house has left me almost speechless. (okay – I like it a lot) this house is so airy, light, and full of perfect bits of color. I'll just sit back and let you enjoy the photos. Much more can be found here.
long, LONG, intense day. Stopped in at a great little restaurant called "My Place" then arrived home to find a package of the most yummy smelling soaps ever. Sherrie Graham and I exchanged parcels. Bars of her handmade soaps made their way from Nova Scotia to Wisconsin, and an adorable Orla Kiely tablecloth is on its way to Nova Scotia as we speak, umm..type, you know what I mean!
The sample bar of peppermint poppyseeds smells divine!
I could pretty much eat the Cafe Mocha bar.
The Fragrance-Free bar will be the perfect addition to my bathroom – perfect for guests.
The Lavender Bath Bar will soothe me into restful sleep.
And if I could turn a soap into a fragrance to wear daily, it would be the Oatmeal, Milk & Honey bar. Divine! I'm swooning over it. I'll either have to make the one bar last forever or I'll have to order a lifetime supply from Sherrie!
Wow. Found more photos to drool over (not literally, of course, because that would be kind of odd). I want to move in right now. Mother, may I?!
Discovered domestic candy via nesting. Loving the brightness, the orderliness, the colors.
Liking the boxes stacked neatly on top of the armoire, the robe tucked into the corner, the pretty bed linens.
Again, it's the details. The neatness of the counter, the items grouped and placed intentionally in the corner (the knives, the utensils, and so on), the children's stove, the table runner, the excellent use of the window sill.
Beautiful placement of color: the blue bowl, fruit, flowers, and table runner!
(Are you rolling your eyes yet, declaring my narration of the details to be overkill??!)
While my apartment has ceilings almost as high as these, it lacks the simple elegance of this room.
Seriously. When may I move in?
