I love this loose interpretation of a slipcover.

U Barba...

A reader was finally able to name the restaurant I pictured above in my October 9, 2011 posting. I quickly went to U Barba's website to view more images of the beautiful restaurant located in Milano, Italy.

Artwork always defines a space...

I love this collection of items (minus the dress form) -- but it is the artwork that really takes everything to a whole other level. Art is magic!

Skaters...

I do love a haunting photograph...

A cabin, simplified...

I love the dark moodiness in these Birgitta W. Drejer photos for Vårt Nya Hem. The rustic woods and modest, imperfect arrangements lend an almost Wabi-sabi aesthetic to this cabin located in Nordsjælland, Denmark.

Llamas' Valley Magazine...

What a discovery! The cover of Llamas' Valley magazine claims perfect places, imperfect people. Head over and view all the goodness. The piece on My Lithuanian Home is especially sweet.

Dimly Lit...

It's all about a dimly lit room at the moment.

The new "slipcover"

Own a chair with ill-favoured upholstery? More and more, I've noticed stylists using hides, furs, and feathers draped casually over the seats of chairs. Mongolian lamb is my favorite touch.
