Nice Gallery Wall

I could go with less stuff on the table but I like the arrangement underneath and on the walls. via

Wonderful Soapstone Sink

You know I love laundry rooms and I'm mad about this one with the soapstone sink. Isn't it clever the way the cabinets on either side are arranged. The deep one has a counter top that goes over the sink and the shallow one on the other side butts up to it. How charming!

So Simple, So Nice

The ottoman I would need was probably pushed out of sight for this simple, chic, perfect photo shoot. I can't read a book for any length of time unless my feet are propped up. I love this nook with the wonderful view, don't you?

Wiped Out Puppy

Poor little guy. He's so exhausted. Don't you love his puppiness? I looked it up and it's a real word in the Urban Dictionary: The feeling of unbearable joy brought on by the appearance of puppies. A fluffy, happy feeling of adorable joy from the undisputed masters of cuteness, puppies.

I hope this image gets your day off to a wonderful start or end depending on your time zone.

Karl Lagerfeld Liked Books Too

That looks like Karl Lagerfeld in the photo so I assume this is his quote. Love it! I too am the happy victim of books. via

The Logic Behind Midnight Snacks

I found this quote and it made me laugh. I played around with it and created this illustrated quote to make you smile too.

Black Bookshelves


I like the black bookshelves in this room. The whole design just "works" so well, doesn't it? You know how much I love floor-to-ceiling bookcases. via

Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencils by Dalton Ghetti



Dalton Ghetti (a carpenter by trade) uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. He even refuses to use a magnifying glass and has never sold any of his work, only given it away to friends. He said: “I use the sewing needle to make holes or dig into the graphite. I scratch and create lines and turn the graphite around slowly in my hand” Click on the link to see many more photos of this Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencil by Dalton Ghetti

Night Sky in Spain | Perfect For Perseid Meteor Showers

This beautiful dark night sky in Spain would be the perfect place to watch the upcoming meteor showers. The 2010 Perseid meteor shower – August’s famous ’shooting stars’ – will peak this coming week, on the mornings of August 12 and 13. Any night this week, you might see the heavens filled with flying meteors.

Orange Office

This looks like a happy place to get some quality work done, doesn't it? I have an orange desk lamp like the one in the photo that makes me happy. I love the wall color too and the overall design of this modern workspace.

Antique Marbles

I opened a drawer in my studio and found a pile of old marbles I've collected over the years. These are Bennington and clay marbles from the 19th century photographed on an old coverlet.
