Oooh, Aaah, Oooooo!

It's a new year and here is a new-to-me fabulous blog that is, perhaps, new to you as well. Introducing The Life of Polarn Per. He's a Swedish art director who's short on words, which is altogether fine by me as Swedish is not my strong suit, but the images are wonderful, beautifully curated with a keen eye for the special and unique. I am just waiting for a free moment and a big steaming cup of coffee so that I can get lost in the archives of Polarn Per.

Happy New Year, friends.

I wonder...

why my disheveled bed looks like a mess every morning, while this tussled, snow white cloud looks sexy and inviting? Hmmm...

"The Finest Rooms in America"

why yes, that is a Matisse mural

Mr. Hadley knows a thing or two (or three) about the art of display

Pretty in Pink {times two}

Look who's finally figured out how to post larger images. Me, that's who, silly! I'm doing my happy dance at this very moment.

p.s.- just for the record, when I move into the gloriously frou frou second image, the blue buffalo check chairs and the skirted table will go buh bye.
