Casual Kitchen

A narrow kitchen is not what I consider ideal, but I could totally live with this little galley of sorts. The geometric runner is a perfect pop of color and I love how bright the space is - it's casual and fun {did you see all the wine storage?}

Monday Inspiration

Design comes in many forms and sometimes it's the little things that excite me most...like this mug that has a special place for a cookie, biscuit or {in my case} biscotti. So clever.


What a fun holiday gift -- tied together with a sweet treat of course!

HomeGoods Fix

I had a craving for Home Goods and what a nice little shopping escapade...I arrived right when it opened and only a few people stared as I clicked away. Great finds and good deals {as always}.

This chair made me smile.

Could be a cool entryway piece.





I tried really hard to find a reason for these to come home with me....reason number 534 why I need a house!

Wow, what a great find.

These are Ralph Lauren...major crush.





Close up of the rugs...exquisite.

I need these, So do you

I stopped in my tracks when I saw these in the new J.Crew catalogue...aren't they fabulous!? Some things you just "have to have" and I believe this is the case with these stunning bangles!

My favorite!!

Modern Cottage

From the outside this cottage allows you to imagine it's cozy interiors, but not so fast...it is sleek, chic and a bit sexy too. This Alabama home is occupied {and created by} Designer Betsy Brown and I love that it isn't your traditional southern decor. A crisp palette and contemporary flair make it totally unique and memorable.

Gorgeous entry...it totally sets the tone.


Contemporary sophistication.






Not your typical basement.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this.

Sitting area in the office...It's so stylized I just adore this space.


Serenity.

Pondering a Kitchen

Pat and I have been on the house hunt for almost 10 months and even though I'm getting antsy, patience is a virtue {as they say}. I'm crossing my fingers that when we do find the right place, it will need a kitchen re-do because I'd love to go the non traditional route and forgo top cabinets for shelves or glass doors...

A few kitchens that I've flagged for inspiration...
