Oh how is it Monday once again?? What I would not give to have a (clean) office that is this fabulous! Today is the day to get my ducks back into rows and get moving forward. Last week seemed to fly past me like a freight train, so please forgive any unanswered emails or phone calls. I have a new intern starting today and I am hopeful she can get me back on track here!
Wishing you a wonderful day of taking care of business!

It is so nice to realize that I am not the only one who needs to collect things like vintage textiles, and cameras and all kinds of other little goodies that are unnecessary to everyday life..
What about you what do you collect? Have I asked this question before? I need to know- it helps me feel more normal!

Grey and lavender is a combination I don't think we see enough of. I just love the soft combination!
This is a great way to treat an offset mantle also- they can always be so difficult.
Happy Thursday already, I am not sure where the week disappeared to but thank goodness it is almost the weekend again!

This house is a great transitional mix. The layering of dark grey and light grey is so relaxing.
Have a wonderful Saturday...

I know it's almost Christmas and this is in no way a wish list or a Christmas decorating post... but I liked it...
The windows and chandelier are to die for!

This does not seem completely practical for actual work but I like it. The floor is amazing and the lights are very very cool!

The contrast here is so perfect! I have been leaning towards softer greys as of late and this just brings me back to the dark with a lot of contrast. The details in the mantel and the door paneling are so perfect. Sometimes I wish I lived in a home with such history and detail. But it is not meant to be right now.
Someday maybe.
I am looking forward to the weekend it is supposed to rain a bit here so another few days of relaxation I hope. I am starting to read Gone with the Wind for the first time and I am hoping it will entertain me for the weekend. Have you read it? What did you think? I know it is a classic and I had to pick it up when I saw it the other day.
Next week I have a lot coming up here on the blog, another giveaway and some great pics to post!
Have a wonderful day! It is 11/11/11 so cool!!!!

I love this little corner of this room. Can you even imagine what the rest looks like? I think that the dark finishes against the dark paint is just the perfect amount of an accent and could not have been done better!

Can you imagine reading the day away on this yummy sofa with all of these amazing books.. I just need a fire and a tall glass of water to make it all complete. I hope your week is moving along nicely!

So I have decided that the greige fairytale series has run it's course here and I need to move onto something new! Any ideas?
I have a few but would love to hear what you think and what you would like to see.
I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! This porch makes me think of lazy Sunday afternoons spent reading a book, an actual paper book with real pages, imagine that.
Don't miss our giveaway enter

I love the idea that design would be unplanned.. I guess that then you would call it something else right? Because Design is really the idea of planning out the space..

Love the simplicity of these shelves and the color! Oh the possibilities... and all of the goodies I could have a place for.
I am excited that it is Friday again! Seems to be happening faster and faster.
What do you have planned for the weekend?
Soccer is in the plan for the weekend here.

When I came across Dana's work on Houzz I was in love! Her use of texture and color layering makes for the most beautiful spaces and her home is by far my favorite.
Check out her

This bath is so simple and calming. I wish my bath could be so easy to manage, but we have all of those real life things that we have to hideaway so more storage is definitely needed.
