This is a lounge act I'd like to sit in on.

Brace Yourself

For an onslaught of delectable interiors. These beautiful images are all from lovely and new-to-me blog Aged and Gilded. Seriously, how can you go wrong with that combination. You can't. Duh. The author has an enviable collection of the best and brightest European shelter magazines and she generously scans page after page of interior eye candy for our viewing pleasure. This is just a taste of the beauty that abounds.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Still Chillin'

I'm still chillin' out over at casa Head Over Heels. I don't know if it's the fact that we finally had one of our air conditioners fixed, or these sexy photos, but I've got goosebumps. I think it's the photos.

How's your summer going, friends?

I'm in love.

With this glorious apartment. And my heart is beating double time.

The location: Vienna, Austria. The owner's, the Reders, have lived in this 1,722-square foot attic apartment for over 40 years and get this, because of local regulations pay around $600 a month. Yeah, I know, makes me want to cry too.

There are far too many amazing details to cover here, but when I say I love a lived-in, collected over time, artsy fartsy look- this. is. it. A life well lived surrounded by meaningful objects. Wow.

In other news, I'm signing off for the rest of the week. The kiddos are a week into summer vacation and my hands are full playing mom. Also, we have a bedroom re-decoration in the works and I have to get to painting walls and furniture, and pulling up carpet, and picking out some lighting, and.......

See you soon and have a great week!

European Living: Danish Style

I rather like the collected over time, full of family heirlooms and flea market finds, feel of this apartment in Copenhagen.

Have a lovely weekend!
