This animal is called a Quokka and it is the happiest thing on the planet. It smiles 24/7. Such a sweet looking animal. Two more photos here. It's from Australia and is about the size of a domestic cat.

The Eyes Have It.
Whooooo is looking at you?
Have you ever seen such an amazing grouping of owl eyes? I haven't. What a nice family portrait! The parents have very long moustaches and beards that completely hide their beaks. Wonder why? via
Small Cooking Space
This is a very well thought out small kitchen. I love the charcoal wall and the stainless steel island. Very nice indeed! via

Foggy Morning Walk @ My Cottage
The pea soup fog is getting worse as the day progresses because the air temperature is so much warmer than the ground. There are still some patches of snow here and there where people had it plowed but none here. It was fun going out with Webster the wonder dog. Are you having a nice weekend? I'm looking forward to the Golden Globes tonight before switching to Downton Abbey.
Waving to all of you before going inside.
Can A Basement Laundry Room Be Beautiful?
This transformed laundry room is in Norway and the website is in Norwegian. Thank goodness for Google Translate!
The original basement laundry was dark and dreary. It had the only the washer and dryer but no storage or work space. The room did not have a sink with running running water for hand washing sweaters and such. It does look pretty dismal doesn't it? The couple kept the original cement floor and painted it with a checker board design.
Don't you love the hand-made linen closet? Instead of spending a lot of money on new furniture, the owners chose to invest in recycling. Two old doors they found in a thrift store for building materials were the starting point for the custom linen cupboard. The hull was made of particle board and moldings were used for trim. The large cabinet holds a lot and is one of the things the owners are most satisfied with in their laundry room. More photos and text here. It's amazing, isn't it?
