When I was 30, my wonderful friend indoctrinated me to her philosophy: on your 30th you’re allowed to celebrate for 30 days! I still thinks it is one of the smartest things I have ever heard. Yes, I am birthday girl and I do like to be spoiled and I do like to celebrate. And […]
Early Sunday morning I got a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign. I mean there was no traffic and I was just zoned. I guess there are no breaks for tired moms! Anyway- I keep thinking what a waste of money; and I can’t seem to let it go! Doesn’t everyone have their […]
While searching for great mobiles made from pinwheels, I found some wonderful art by these simple whirlygigs. The above by Petit Collage was printed on maple veneer and is sure to make you smile.
My son brought home a sweet pinwheel from school last week. Again such a simple thing that gives so much pleasure. And they make great mobiles too. The two above are fantastic! Whether done with paper or fabric they don’t seem too complicated. There’s a great tutorial here if you are the DIY type. Mamax […]
To me; parenthood doesn’t get much better than this. The above is sweet drawing I found on flickr; when looking for my usual Friday find. I stopped at this even though it doesn’t have to do with interior design. It’s just reminded me to slow down a little. I try to get my gang out […]
My client’s daughter recently asked for a turquoise room. Her mom was skeptical at first, wondering how turquoise would fit into their beautiful historical home.

Because my 18 month old daughters will happily sit and eat whole apples down to the core. And happy babies makes for a happy mom! ( did I mention that it […]
The Cherry blossom trees are in full bloom! They are absolutely gorgeous in New Jersey. A graphic designer in LA created these simple, clean and fun prints. I am especially fond of the grey version–so serene. They are 8″x 10″ with room for framing and only $16.00! At the price you could order 9 and […]
I know I say this alot–but I absolutely LOVE this image. It’s pure genius and what a great way to perserve your childrens’ art. Don’t be fooled it’s not wallpaper–the artist painted the frames with black craft paint. She used sharpies to do the detail work. Simply spectacular. My own version is spinning around in […]
My mind has been on chic and stylish bunnies! So I hopped on over to the what’s cool section at ducduc to see what’s happening. I found a new link to a Swedish Company-PlaySam. The Swedes understand that good design is just as important as function. I know my girls would love this rocking rabbit! […]
