Mr. and Mrs.

My friend Malia is addicted to buying dishes; mixing bowls, glasses, plates - you name it. I've never really shared her enthusiasm until now - I'm obsessed with this Mr. and Mrs. glass set. Wouldn't they make a great wedding present?

New Bookshelf

This is the sad little bookshelf I had in my office that I've been needing to upgrade.


Well on Saturday my mom and I went to Ikea to shop for a client, and I picked up this little ditty for myself. Went with the tried and true Expedit.











I'm feeling much more organized.

The Garage

Whenever I talk about sprucing up our garage my husband roles his eyes and says, "It's just a garage."

But look how pretty it could be!

Room Board - Bathroom

Here's a little bathroom room board I did recently for a client.

Cherry Branch

I'm usually not a fan of wall murals, but this cherry branch silhouette over at House Tweaking has changed my opinion. Dana and her husband created it using an overhead projector.



Apparently I've been living under a rock, because I just discovered Dana's blog today after Apartment Therapy posted her house tour. Here are some other great spaces from her home.

Storage Idea

Loving this stacked crate storage idea from Real Living.

Chezerbey

What I love about architects is they have no shame focusing on the smallest of details when it comes to their home. Which is why I love Chezerbey, "a blog about the adventures of two architects and their 1910 fixer-upper." They've devoted entire posts to things like trash can organization and bar stools.

If this picture of their organized and hidden trash system makes you weak in the knees, we are kindred spirits.


Impressive before and after of their home's exterior:


Beautiful!

Their finished bathroom. Sometimes I am a true minimalist at heart so I'm loving this.


More drool-worthy organization:
