Oasis

I guess I'm dreaming of the beach this week. I love love love sunrooms, and this is an especially nice one from Better Homes and Gardens.

I love the color of the blue sofa and, of course, all those window to let the sunlight spill in.

Beach Living in Georgia

What a perfect room - light and airy, but with furniture you could really sink into.

And those shades on the window? They totally make the room. Their color and texture are perfect for grounding the space.

The Happy Home

Happy Day!

Everyday with you is a celebration!

Beachy Blue

Now I know I'm usually a huge fan of all white kitchens, but this blue kitchen

with a view of this ocean-front porch

would suit me just fine!

I love the artwork over this fireplace...

You do, don't you?

This is an excerpt from the new book Restoring a House in the City. Which I heard about from Aesthetic Outburst.

A Virtual Plethora of Patterns

Have you heard of Spoonflower? It's this wonderful sight for patterned fabric. You can get almost any weight you want, and you can even design your own!

These are just small sampling of the many different patterns to choose from.

Now I'm off to get my husband from an auction, where I will get to bring this home to live with me!

Happy Yellow Stripes

I came across this bedroom a few minutes ago, and I love that it's exciting and calm at the same time.

I found it over here. I've only read the first page of her blog so far, but love it!

Etsy Shop: Sweet Treats

When I found this shop today, via my daily Etsy e-mail, I fell in love. She makes the most adorable little felt items. Like this camera case...

Not in the market for a case? How about the keychain?! I'm LOVING it!

Then there's this adorable brooch. It comes in so many different colors....

Oh, and this one's really useful - a needle organizer!

There's even more, so visit the store and see for yourself!
