Don't you want to see more of this delightful small kitchen? You could stand in one place and pivot. I'm guessing the stove is to the left and the refrigerator is opposite the sink. It's a nice simple design and you know I love the marble counters.

Delightful Illustration
Pretend this is your window. Wouldn't it be nice to look outside and see geese pecking around in the snow? Don't you love the Gothic arches in the picture window? Artwork found here.

Don't let this scary face keep you from watching this film about legos. Everybody knows somebody who was once obsessed with these small building bricks and maybe this little film will bring them back again. I don't see the young children I know playing with them these days and it's a shame because legos are the best toys for budding architects and inventors. Watch and laugh and pass it on.

Tulips of Gold
The black background in this photograph reminds me of the darkness outside my window just now as I write my last post of the day. I'll say goodnight with golden tulips.

The only things that would make this picture more perfect would be reading lamps attached to both sides of the bookcases. Agreed? Dibs, this room is mine because I love it the best. The natural light even comes in from the left when you are in bed. Swoon. found here
Bring Back This Stove
The oatmeal ran over yesterday morning (don't you hate it when that happens?) and made a big mess that I didn't have time to clean up because I was running late. I was wishing my stove had a rolltop device for hiding the the puddle around my big burner and then I ran across this photo. All stoves should be made like this. When you aren't cooking you have another work surface too. Older is sometimes better.

It's been a while since I published a page from Life's Little Instruction book. Sorry. I won't wait so long again. I know you love reading this man's advice to his son when he went off to college. Always inspiring.

Another beautiful and peaceful photo to start or end your day depending on your timezone. Tuenola, Finland is the spot where these 8 swans are swimming. So still, so serene, so beautiful! I hope your day is that way too. "The Swans of Tuonela" is the title of the picture which refers to an opus by Jean Sibelius. photo credit

Chic Paris Apartments
French interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch’s duplex overlooks one of Paris’s most exclusive addresses: the Élysée Palace, once home to Mme. de Pompadour and now the official residence of the French president. “The view is the highlight of the apartment,” he remarks. A window in the master bedroom, above, frames the Eiffel Tower perfectly. In this room, the designer lined the walls with Italian brown cashmere and opted for dark colors and darker woods to bring a sense of intimacy to the space. The watercolor of lions (circa 1920) is by Paul Jouve. (Published in Architectural Digest September 2004)

I absolutely love the hanging cupboard over this desk with all the slots and cubbies. I once had one in old red paint and I've always regretted selling it. Isn't the vellum indenture hanging on the wall fabulous? I just picked up three from an estate sale; not quite as elegant as the one in this photo.
