uh oh, I'm Smitten

I love the graphics on these and the color combinations, but what really attracted my attention were those subtle rounded corners and the custom display shelf, made from recycled teak. So adorable! The third born's room will need a little revamp this year to take it from nursery to big boy room. I think these are just the ticket to get that process rolling.

*in retrospect, I think I've decided I'm head-over-heels for all their products, they are cute without being overly cutesy...love!

Boughed Over

I am completely giddy with glee that I came across this lovely project today. We have a large expanse of empty wall in the basement living room. Hard as I try to be a minimalist and just let it remain barren, it keeps calling to me, crying out for decoration. But until now, I have not been able to commit...wallpaper, giant cork board, chalk wall, art gallery display...these have all been contenders. I think my problem has been solved, how about some lovely fallen branches and a few bits of colorful ribbon for a dramatic, organic display. It might be a temporary fix, but I have a feeling this is exactly what my wall has been crying out for.

Bright Idea

Hello, lovely leggy lamp. Where have you been all my life?

I hate it when they don't list the price, after all, I want to know just how much lamp I can't afford.

Go ahead...oooh and aaah...

*don't forget to exhale.

Crazy for this...

As much as I loved the serene, quiet beauty of the last home, I equally adore the unabashed full-of-color and life feel of this residence. This home looks stuffed to the gills, but so inviting and alive. I can't help but be seduced by the siren call of all that light and space and all those curious treasures! So what does one call someone attracted to both minimal and clean-lined and a bohemian goulash....crazy?
