Sarah Jane Studio

I love her illustrations. Perfectly adorable.

Little Dress

from buis jesen beugels

I love this little dress, especially the huge flower. Someday when I can really sew. . . .

Here are a couple of cute ideas for painting some relatively easy things on a children's or playroom wall. I like the lines drawn on the wall in this first picture. The sheep look pretty easy to paint. Another idea would be to paint simple shirts or pants on the lines like a clothes line.

The tree is an idea someone used for a "family tree." But I think it would also be very cute without the family tree part. Maybe just a couple of trees with the bed in between.

Back Patio

We need a nice outdoor curtain like this on our back patio . . . and I'll take those two lanterns too while I'm at it.

Happy Red

I love rooms built into the roof lines. The photo is from heather ives photography. I love seeing all of the creative photography out there. I would build a room like this around that photograph.

Library Inspiration

Ah. . . Glorious built in bookshelves. I love them. I want a house full of them.

Elephants on Parade

An elephant wall decal and it's BIG--like four feet. It's around $140 if I remember right and you can order it from lavish. Would be pretty darn cute in a kids room or playroom.

Floral Supplies

Very good prices at jamali garden on floral, garden and entertaining items--pots, urns, trays, bowls and more. . .

Armoires

I always thought I loved this armoire from anthropologie best. That is, until I saw this one (on bottom) from oly a few days ago. I think it's my new favorite.

Bedding

I have always loved the bedding collections from pine cone hill. I also am liking the HUGE stripes on the wall.

What is it with me & yellow?

Enough already. I know. I just keep finding yellow things I like. I like whimsical things used sparingly. That is why I love doing children's rooms. But I might possibly like this in my dining room. From parc monceau.

Light & Airy

I am in the mood for light and airy and found these two things from pottery barn as I was looking for a new rug for my family room. I think I'm going to go with this very neutral jute look. It's such a good foundation to work from . . . and most important it's not rust colored. And I like this pendant light. Probably because I love grid patterns.
