Happy Friday to you all! Whoot! Any fun plans this holiday weekend? I’m hoping to get to the pool one last time and get some more done in the family room. Otherwise nothing big planned here.  Today I’m sharing a blogger who is actually a friend of mine – and the funny thing is we live near each other have some mutual friends but only met when we attended a paint workshop together years ago. It’s so nice to have friends close by who you can talk “blog” with sometimes. :) Angela’s blog is...

Simple decorating

Simple decorating
Hello there! I got to thinking after my last post about the trip to Better Homes and Gardens -- how one of the editors made things look so effortless. She threw together a few different centerpiece ideas for us in minutes, just using regular plates and items from the store and nature. Fruit and pinecones showed up a lot. :) Simple decor really resonates with me – it’s one of the reasons I write this blog.

A Malmö home teeming with design classics
Some weeks I struggle to find beautiful Scandinavian inspired home tours to share. Other weeks they seem to fall into my lap. This week is definitely the latter - I'm so excited by the three posts I've shared already this week (here, here and here), do you find the same when you're blogging?! Today I've found another exciting space! This apartment is based here in Malmö, Sweden (who I might add, qualified for Champions League last night - amazing! Heja Malmö!). The space is teeming with real design...

Fabulous inspiration from Danish OYOY
I'm so excited to share the loveliest interior inspiration from Danish homeware company OYOY with you today. The lifestyle images were snapped for OYOY's Autumn Winter 2014 collection which now includes OYOY Mini (cue: the world's cutest cushions and blankets for children). OYOY are known for their fabulous imagery (see this and this post from previous years) and AW14 definitely does not disappoint. I wonder if they'd stop by and style my home for me?!OYOYAnything that caught your...

Better Homes and Gardens tour

Better Homes and Gardens tour
Hello all! Oh my goodness, I have been so excited to tell you about the trip I took a couple weeks ago. I was approached by Better Homes and Gardens recently asking if I wanted to help promote their products at Walmart and then TAKE A TRIP TO THE BHG HEADQUARTERS. Uh. Yes, I would like to take a trip to the Better Homes and Gardens headquarters, thank you very much. It is an honor and I’m so excited about this partnership: I took a TON of pictures and this is only half of them – but still...
