oh and they came in many, many colours. beautiful.

@phillygal - that's actually not a flower...it's feathers. to be specific it's a feathered hat called a 'juju' hat. it's a ceremonial type of hat from cameroon but it's popping up more and more in ...

I LOVE Elizabeth's home and her bold use of colour & pattern; I definitely get a sense of the type of person she is which is exactly what your home should convey (I believe). I also ...

i absolutely love everything stefanie has done in her home and am a HUGE fan of her blog. it is so classic and will definitely stand up to the test of time. full house tour!

now THIS i could use. so smart!

i love hot pink and use it as an accent colour in my apartment. i have a teeny "hallway" that i did a graphic paint job on using pink and a few other small accessories sprinkled around. it definite...

luckily my rental bathroom is all white and in pretty good condition - which makes it easy to decorate and make 'nice.' - the lower half of my rental bathroom is white tiles the upper ...

thanks for sharing! i've just signed up :)

ha! my first thought upon seeing the first photo was actually 'pottery barn' based on the styling...it looks like a pottery barn room.

i think allowing a pet on some furniture and not others (ie - yes to the family room sofa but no to the formal sofa etc..) is confusing for the pet, no? i have a small 8 pound dog. he ...

lovely space. i'm curious about your bed - it's great. it looks like the same style as the ikea malm but the headboard seems much more substantial and is also in a colour i haven't see...

if it's a neutral coloured carpet i see no issue in having a carpet over it to define the space. i've seen it done tons and it looks just fine.

really great space - kudos on creating the wood art to cover the box on the wall - it looks fab. this does not look like a basement at all (i could only tell because of the placement o...
