So Much To Do, So Little Time

I've been dying to get an invitation to use Spoonflower, the wonderful place that lets you design and they print YOUR FABRIC. It's the awesomest idea ever. In the meantime, I've been envying Jessica Gonacha's creations. Fabulous.

A little bit of eye candy...

I bought this book, The New French Decor, a few months back and have to say the pictures are amazing. For anyone who loves French Decor or if you're just plain eclectic, this book is a coffee table must.

Inspiration for Today

Design Sponge is doing a series of webisodes entitled Design by the Book in tandem with the New York Library featuring five awesome artists faced with the challenge of creating something inspired by the Library's abundant collection resources. It will be fun to watch this project unfurl. I also think it would be incredibly interesting to give each artist the option of randomly choosing 5 books from a specific section of the library and seeing what they come up with as well. The possibilities are endless. We may be watching the budding days of the next new reality design show. I'd most certainly watch.

Another Cheap and Somewhat Easy

DIY Thanksgiving placecards. All you need is a $1.99 pack of Fancy Feathers Grey Duck Wing Quills (they come 22 to a pack and can be found at your local craft store), some acrylic craft paint (I used grey, of course :) and a fine tipped paintbrush. All it takes is a steady hand and wa la. Fairly easy and very Thanksgivingy. (new word) :)

Field of Purple

by Julie Ann Scott.

Purple

For some reason the word purple makes me smile. It's sort of a silly sounding word. I'm preparing to change my little girl's room into a big girl's room and purple it will be. I'm not looking to do some big acid tripped out purple room, but rather something more subdued and stately, like the room below. I like the thought of lots of white with purple and brown and chartreuse and perhaps a hint of autumn orange in a painting somewhere. (image via Nuevo Estilo)

Love this shirt dress via k i m e n n a. Add a long sleeve scoop neck underneath, a great pair of jeans and some knee boots and I'm in heaven.

sinead o moore

Sinead O Moore's tealights are covet-worthy. I wouldn't think of marring them with wax. I'd love to own a set simply for my own viewing pleasure, although I'm sure I'd have a difficult time deciding which ones I want since they're all so fabulous, but I am particularly drawn to the set below. They remind me of speckled eggs.
