This is absolutely one of my favorite tours. It's also further proof that Irish Girls Do It Better ;)

Sweet and sophisticated, but my favorite element has to be The Babysitter's Club book on her nightstand...oh, childhood :)

@cactina, I understand wanting to "veg" in front of the computer to escape from what's going on in your life. I often do the same. But maybe if we actually took what inspires us and put it into practice, we might help ourselves heal faster and simultaneously help fill a void by accomplishing something that we did solely for the purpose of saying we did it. Best of luck as you move on in your life. Better days are on the way...

This may be one of my favorite posts ever on AP! So much good stuff here and bonus points for bringing me down memory lane. The BB books were staples in my house growing up, and I love that many of the lessons contained within still apply today. The author should be commended for using a recognizable kid favorite to convey her point. Well done!

Beautiful home. Love the quirky details and pops of color. Incidentally, does anyone else think Jamie looks a little like Ginnifer Goodwin?

A tad off topic, but my favorite summer cocktail is 3 Olives Grape, soda water, a splash of cran and a lime...in a pint glass. My friends and I call it the "Big Girl" :)

You could also substitute chopped walnuts for hazelnuts. I love the flavor combination of cheese, walnuts and spinach. Trying this tonight!

Forget about the dog. How about the man??? That Chad is a cutie, and Ricki is a doll. Their space is lovely, too.

The top of my fridge is identical to Krystal's! Eventually, I'd like to strip off the labels and spray them white to give off a ceramic-eque look. Then use the corks to create a wreathe.

Love the lightness and breeziness of this space.

Thank you for this post! I'm moving in two weeks and with funds being tight, these are great, relatively inexpensive options. And maybe I've been living under a rock, but thanks for introducing me to Wayfair! I'm officially in lust!

Dean, I love your style and sense of humor. Your home is lovely and very inspired. I completely agree with your point about holding out for something you love rather than opting for a "quick fix." Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to decorating your home, but you realize how worth the wait it is when you can stand back and feel content with what you've put together :)

@LOVEDECOR, have you tried etsy? I had been looking for ikat throw pillows forever and finally found ones that I love there. Here's a link :)

I'm so glad to know the history of this iconic image. Like many others, I had grown sick of seeing it everywhere, but now I have a new appreciation for it. It truly is a timeless phrase and one that really resonates with me.

@SHANNONTAYLOR, I don't believe the argument is whether the site should be edited. Of course it should. My gripe is more with CVAUGHN'S delivery. It would just be nice if we could keep these forums focused on the decorating tips. If any of us are that concerned about errors, I'm sure the hard-working copyeditors at AT would respect and appreciate an e-mail making them aware. And no, I don't work for AT, however I do appreciate the effort that must go into creating a site as wonderful as this.

It's one thing to respectfully call out errors within a post so that the copyeditors can make corrections to optimize content for their readers. However, if you can take the time to correct people who I'm sure work incredibly hard at what they do, then the least you can do is muster the courtesy to e-mail your comments in private, rather than posting them on an open forum. If I had your e-mail, I wouldn't have resorted to doing so myself.

After making these brownies, I never want the kind from the box again! They were a huge hit at my office bake sale. I also omitted the brandy, goat cheese and almond extract, since the chocolate and raspberry are such assertive flavors on their own.

Who are any of us to say someone should or should not decorate their home in a certain style? I say if something speaks to you, then use it to your heart's content. Judgy McJudgersons, be dammed.
