The moody, beautiful photography of Rodney Smith
These photos speak for themselves. You'll notice a common theme of window, which for me speak of introspection, and waiting..waiting...waiting. The empty rooms also speak of being left behind or a time and place forgotten, or neglected. Atleast for me. Do these photos have a meaning for you?via Rodney Smith

A great spring project that’s super easy and pretty!
For this great idea (and gorgeous photos), I thank Elizabeth Goodman, creator of the very pretty "To Be Charmed" blog.The project's star component is Japanese Washi tape, which is like a decorative masking tape. The tape is a fabric-like masking tape that comes in dozens of patterns, colors, and widths.Some of these vases she's created are actually paper cups!Read...
A little tangent – some awesome design on the silver screen
I saw Sherlock Holmes a while ago in Boston visiting my friend Liz, and we both ended up drooling over more than Robert Downey Jr. Both of us being RISD grads, the art at the end credits left us in our seats while audience rolled out. Here are some great screenshots I found on Graphic Exchange. The end...
A beautiful, glamorous house to ring in the week
The home of Lizzie Bailey is sooo pretty, glamorous, clean, and crisp - I just had to share it with you right away. Bailey actually majored in English but found her calling as an interior designer while working (and doing a little photo shoot styling), at Better Homes and Gardens. As you can see, she's found her...
Images from a fairy tale
Happy Friday everyone! Tuesday and Wednesday sorta merged for me, and I don't know where the week went. Anyway, I've had these images from an old ad campaign from Brunschwig & Fils, and I just love the whole enchanted look of these sets.

A great “spring” discount code for you!
Spring - I can almost taste it, and every now and then one can smell it on the breeze. Spring means more time outside and out and about and relaxing with friends. Spring means wine. And these adorable and chic wine bottle tags make any event even more special. The lovely folks over at Drink Me Tags...

A fun and eclectic home office…
...designed by the bold and fun Betsy Burnham. This is an office in a home she decorated, and was featured in Lonny Magazine's 3rd issue, which is really great by the way.I thought it had a really nice sense of personality, and it's something I wouldn't always lean to, so lately I've been into expanding my "design aesthetic horizons"images...
Oh, beautiful Paris…
It's not a new notion, Paris is beautiful, romantic, and has a wonderful touch of old-world that I don't think is going away soon (which is for the best)! Recently my friend got me a great gift - "Taschen's Paris ~ Hotels, Restaurants & Shops," and what I love about it is the inside look it gives you...
