Remembering Deborah Mitford...
Those who love literature – and literary families – will be greatly saddened to hear of the death of Deborah, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (also known as Deborah Mitford), who passed away on Wednesday morning, aged 94.The youngest daughter of the Mitford siblings – arguably the defining family of their time – Deborah may have, in her early years, been overshadowed by a highly creative, highly
Weekend Sales
One of the things I like to do on the weekends is go shopping. Whether it be in store or online. Here are a few sales going on this weekend.RUGS USA is having a major sale! Up to 80% off all rugs. They have such a huge selection. You are very likely to find something you like. I love this trellis one. Would love it for the living room but I realize it looks so similar to the one in the
New Girl's Desk
I guess it's time to show you the desk I picked out for my daughter. I wanted something small and functional while still being cute and easy on the pockets.We ended up with this combination from Ikea. It's the white Linnmon top with the silver Adils legs. It's so simple and fits perfectly in the space in front of her window. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on this piece because I knew
A Beautiful Story of a Lost Garden
I want to tell you a story about a garden. It's a good one. You'll like it.In June, I was visiting some of the rose gardens of southern England when I heard about a garden called Heligan. Or more accurately The Lost Gardens of Heligan {LINK HERE}. Some of you may have heard of this place, just as I had, but I didn't realise the depth of sorrow that's buried in its flower beds. Heligan is a garden

In my Sketchbook: Living Room by Sarah Richardson Design
As you might have guessed from my post about 3D CAD rendering, I'm at a point in design school where we have moved away from hand rendering and into digital rendering. I love hand rendering, however, and in an effort not to lose this capability, I have started sketching some of my favourite rooms designed by some of my favourite designers.Today's room was designed by Sarah Richardson and was
Get The Look: Basement Family Room
I know we all want spaces where we can lounge with the family. This basement family room is great for that. There's a large sofa for watching movies and a table area for eating or doing crafts. I love the pop of color in the accent wall.sourcesectional: Overstockchandelier: Targettv cabinet: Ikeaottoman : Wayfairwall shelf: Ikeaarm chair: Targetshelving unit: Ikeadining table: Ikeabench:
Glamour In Manhattan: Travel Insights
Unlike Paris, New York doesn’t seduce you with its Haussmanian sophistication or its seductive wardrobes and ways. It doesn’t have the history, dignity and grace of London, nor the sunny glamour of Sydney—although it does have its own unique sheen. What it does have is confidence and unending energy, and with that drive and determination New Yorkers have built one of the most thrilling and
Personalized Pencils
For a long time I've wanted cute, personalized pencils. My initial idea was to get a set with a cute/quirky saying on them, but when I saw that A Blissful Nest was having a sale on completely customized pencils, I knew that I wanted to get some branded with the name of this beloved blog. I decided to go with two sets, one in white and one in pink. They look so cute in their jar and I've given my
Gardens, Glamour & Getaways of the US East Coast
You know how some places in the world sneak under your skin and into your heart and never really leave? Well, I have a few of those, and particularly in the US. There are some corners of America that are so startlingly beautiful – so unexpectedly beguiling – you can understand why some Americans don't feel the need to travel far.In fact, when my two kind-hearted but slightly bossy business
Hello Sunshine + Printable
Since my daughter got a desk I've been thinking of ways I can style it without taking over a space that is supposed to be hers. Also the cutesy things I see for a desk I know will end up on the floor. I made a simple printable for her desk and stuck it in an Ikea frame. I want her desk to be a happy place to sit and be creative and I thought this was the perfect little touch. Here is the
Travel Tips, Part 5: Hotels, Flights, Luggage
I've often wondered how middle-class people (such as my parents) are able to afford to go overseas every year to places as exotic and as far-flung as Patagonia, Alaska, the Arctic Circle, the Galapagos, Africa, and remotest parts of Asia?Answer: They're not only frugal; they're also savvy travellers. Here are some tips and tricks to travelling in frugal glamorous style on a great budget.ONE
Orb Chandeliers

Hospitality Project: Boutique Hotel 3D Rendering
It's been a little while since I've shared a school project with you. This term I did one that I'm very excited about, so I thought I would post about it! Our studio this term was hospitality, and as groups we designed a 7 storey boutique hotel. As a boutique hotel, we could go a little more themed compared to most projects, and my team decided to create the atmosphere of an old magic show with
Painted Ceilings
After seeing this painted ceiling last week, I was amazed how much drama it gave the room.It got me thinking how I never think about painting the ceiling. It technically is a wall and can be painted.I like the dark blue in this dining room.I love the added pink to this girl's room.The pale blue ceiling in this sunroom is calm and looks like the sky.I really like the painted ceiling in this
New at CB2
CB2 is on of those stores that I like to window shop. They carry pretty modern home decor and they are just pretty to look at. Some of their items can be affordable but some of them are more than I would like to spend. I have a store nearby I can go to but if I'm shopping online they have flat rate shipping for $4.95.How fun is this bed set? I like the pops of red in this great burst

My First Vlog: Top Five Things to Bring to a Blogging Conference
Well, well, well, look who finally held up one of their blog goals that they've had for the past TWO years. It's me! Coming at you live through video. I'm so glad that I was finally able to put a quick video together.

Napkin Pillow Covers
I've been on the search for new pillow covers to refresh the family room. I showed you some pillows last week and I've saved some on Etsy. None of them I've pulled the trigger on. Last week I made a run in Target and came across these clearance napkins. There are four in a pack and are 20 inches squared. I knew I could make pillow covers from them. They were the color I was looking for and

West Elm Inspired Side Table
I like to look at the West Elm website and catalogs and drool over the nice tables and accessories. I like pretty things but don't think I should pay a fortune for them. I do have things from West Elm but they were on sale and I never pay full price.You may remember this red side table from the living room. I've always like the shape of it but the love affair I had with it was fading. I was
