    Pardon my drool…but you’ll understand when you see this home office!

    It’s amazing how such a functional and pretty space can be created in such a tiny nook, but below you have it. If you like this look and want to learn more, you must go to the amazing blog of the multi-talented Benita Larsson, “Chez Larsson” She has created a post on how they created the space and several update posts.



    bins, boxes, baskets, bowls..whatever your preference – USE THEM. They keep clutter under control!




    Sticking to a color palette also keeps your organization system looking it’s tidiest.

    Jealous? I sure am! Awesome job Benita!

  • Rooms just bursting with Scandinavian Charm

    Rooms just bursting with Scandinavian Charm

    These are Danish to be exact – and I’ll think you’ll agree that they just fill you with the warm fuzzies… enjoy!

    Dreamy – what a great workspace. *sigh*





    Great wallpaper – great use of black and white.

    Chic, Glamorous, Gorgeous – Don’t miss these two houses

    Keeping up with a blog on a daily basis is tough. But when I see pics like these – along with the amazing and kind feedback I get from readers – it keeps me motivated! Enjoy!

    These images below feature the handiwork of Lee Kleinhelter from Pieces

    GREAT headboard

    Some must-reads from Lee

    I like the contrast of the sleek white console and the rough natural texture of the cork lamps

    Eames and Hermes – you can’t go wrong with two timeless classics. Notice how she painted the trim a slightly darker white than the walls?



    The home below is from a Lonny Mag staff member, Ellie Somerville

    Great wallpaper! Great Rothko too 🙂





    A good use of space here- Ellie made a home office in her bedroom. The desk can also double as a nightstand.

    A round up of eye candy to get through the Monday

    Happy Monday of a short week! Somehow – even with the holiday week – it still feels like Monday today. So…lets perk it up a bit with an installment of Favorite Images from my Favorite Blogs

    Enjoy! (In no particular order)

    From Chocolate Creative


    I like the simple, white kitchen on the left


    From roomenvy
    makes me want lunch!

    What do you think of this black and white bedroom?


    and last but not least, life a la mode.

    These spaces really speak for themselves. Enjoy.


    Is that a shoe display?

  • A home that will truly brighten your day

    A home that will truly brighten your day

    I found the home of this talented lady on Flickr, and I just can’t get enough. She lives in Malaysia with her sons and husband – and is obviously a very talented cook and decorator. Enjoy!


    I really like this mirror. Vivaterra has a similar one from recycled boat wood.

    One always needs plenty of space for books







    Adore this work space

    Home Offices to drool over

    ohhhh….I can’t wait until I have my own place and can make the home office of my dreams! Here’s hoping it’ll look like one of these. In the meantime I’ll steal some ideas that I can implement while I’m working from the dining room.

    DREAMY home office. fireplace, desk with plenty of surface area looking out a window…

    I do some light sewing, but I get really behind because I don’t have a dedicated sewing desk. I have to get it out of it’s box every time I use it and it just isn’t working…

    Okay so I know the two above are super matchy-matchy but they are from Pottery Barn. I love the big linen pinboard (shhh…those are easy to make yourself and much cheaper!) The organization ideas in these office setups are great.

  • You won’t believe where these beautiful rooms are from!

    You won’t believe where these beautiful rooms are from!

    I was shocked – really – when I opened up the most recent issue of the Ballard Designs catalog. They’ve really upped the ante on their styling. It’s relaxed and glamorous at the same time. (Click on each image for a larger view)

    Love cream and light blue

    I like the Moroccan style rug in the picture above. They have it in a couple other colors as well.









    I like their home office setups


    So what do you think?

  • Amazing worked in and lived in artist lofts

    Amazing worked in and lived in artist lofts

    A reader requested a post on artist lofts – live/work spaces way back in October. Shamefully, I’m just getting to that now. There are so many great examples out there that I’m going to have to save some for future posts.

    Here are some good examples of real spaces. Even if you don’t have a loft, maybe you can still find some inspiration.

    Great dining/kitchen area!







    The above is from a loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn – an artsy neighborhood I lived in for a year back in 2006/2007.

    The above is an artist’s loft you can rent for getaways.

    Even with the exposed brick wall and factory-style windows, homey elements like the houseplants, pictures, and rug make the space more than liveable.

    I’m not a fan of cowhide rugs or of bull fighting, but this bedroom is a good example of how loft dwellers can make an industrial space cozier- notice the room divider on the left

    This is the area of the loft carved out to be office space.

    The loft above is actually for sale in Pawtucket, RI.

    love the windows!

    The studio/work area of this tribeca loft

    via NY Locations

    I really like the look of lofts but I don’t know if I’d be happy living in one as I tend to like small, cozy spaces and being able to shut myself in a room alone. How about you have you lived in a loft, did you like it? If not, do you think you’d like loft living?

  • What do you think of this Scandinavian beauty with a rustic twist

    What do you think of this Scandinavian beauty with a rustic twist

    Happy Friday! I think this space out of House Beautiful is a refreshing change of pace in that it keeps with a lot of the Scandinavian characteristics we all know and love, but diverges from everything being based in white and takes on a warmer, more country feel. What do you think?

    Love maps as art.



    I always like to see another artist’s inspiration board/work space.
