A fresh, light and airy house tour that totally has me craving spring!
Even though the winter here in Maryland has been mild, I feel like we really haven't been getting much sunshine. This morning there was a fleeting 10 minutes of bright sunshine coming in my bedroom window, so I just stood there soaking in the light and heat while I could get it. It was nice to feel a little perked up for a while, and apartments like this one give me the same feeling of spring, when things are first starting to brighten up and you can smell spring in the air.
Now that my curtains are finished - I'm thinking of slip covering my couch in a lighter fabric like this. I love the easy look of it.
Like my apartment, which is a one bedroom, the living room also serves as a dining nook and home office.
A white chair and clean-lined Parsons desk helps integrate the office space into the living space
How could pretty pink flowers not make you think of spring?!?
The more I see simple white linens, the more I want them.
What do you think, is this space too sparse and white for you, or could you feel right at home here?

Casual and easy to update look, try running some line and attaching your latest works of art with clothes pins.

Another casual look, which would look good in a home office of young person's room, is to pin art to the wall in a nice arrangement

I think one of my favorite looks might be one large dramatic piece.

A cluster of small drawings is very cute and indie

Simply leaning frames against a wall keeps things from looking too precious.

A clutter-free and warm home of a Toronto artist
It's often a bit hard to find a home that is minimal and clean but not cold or sterile. This cozy home is a carefully edited space of meaningful objects.
The artist, Cylene
She keeps a rotating art wall, and displays collections, such as the cameras you see here, but the space still feels airy.
The kitchen is so cute.
The artist also let the folks over at Covet Garden tour her studio. I always love seeing a studio because I majored in ilustration and spent many years among other artists in their studios.

A pretty home done up in shabby vintage
This pretty look is really easy to achieve with everyday glass bottles/jars and some cuttings from your garden

Tuesday Treat: A bright and airy NYC apartment tour
This apartment belongs to the uber-talented founder of Rubie Green, Michelle Adams.
This image makes me fall in love with white all over again - but boyfriend likes the darker woods.
Michelle is all about sustainable, green design. This cypress trunk side table is free of toxic finishes.
The striped modern upholstery balances out the traditional frames of the dining chairs
I love the idea of using what you already have. Under the table cloth (which is actually a drape that Michelle already had but didn't fit any of her current windows), is a sideboard that she found at a thrift store. She wasn't able to get it repaired as she planned, but instead of tossing it and buying something else, she worked with what she had and made it work. I think it looks great.
The textiles you see around her home are from her store which carries green fabrics, Rubie Green.
