Jkwa in DC!

I just received these photos from the lovely and magical Janice in DC of her new crib! Love the beautiful wall colors and cute details like Chinese lanterns and a ginormous stack of books! (Ginormous stack of books is an illusion created with the Sapien Bookcase from Container Store!)

Thanks Jkwa!

More from Mandi!

And here are a few more pics from Mandi's place! Sigh! I love the M collection!

Mandi's House!

So I finally made my way over to Mandi's house in NE... Oh my gosh it is a wonderland of cute mid century amazingness!!!! This house has major curb appeal, orange door, palm trees. And inside are some of the coolest light fixtures, furniture pieces, and color pairings! Total inspiration. Really makes me want a house.

Thanks Mandi!

Images from Italy! (And a couch from NYC!)

Here are some gorgeous pics from my trip to Itlay... some really amazing furniture stores & interiors! That first one though is a couch in NYC that my special friend Blake sent over to me... enjoy!

new chair, Kiwi approved!

I got my new chair! It's not quite fitting where I had actually first planned to put it, so a new location in my living room has been scouted. But as you can tell, it's Kiwi approved! More pics to come soon...

Pics from my apartment Part 3

And a few more to satisfy your curiosity!  I like to keep my take out sushi menus next to the cool anime prints.  Also check out my pimpin' big city balcony!

Pics from my place Part 2

Here are some pics from my living room and kitchen.  Featuring my beloved blue couch and my 6 ft MJ poster.  The fridge door has some great photos including my favorite shot of Ashley Olsen.  Oh yea.

Pics from my place Part 1

So after much demand I am putting pics of my place up!  Please keep in mind it is a perpetual work in progress and I did only move in 2 months ago!  The first 4 are from my bedroom and the last is a view from my balcony!  As you can see, on a clear day, you can see forever!

Give me a POUF!

Oh wow. Surfing around on the net I came across a new obsession... the Moroccan Pouf! Check out some of these beauties I found. I'd love to have clusters of them around my apartment for mini tables and guest seating. I've entered into the Must Have Zone. I'm in love!

lovely mirrors for sparkling joy!

Ohhh mirrors... I am searching for perhaps a gorgeous starburst mirror to go above my sleek new chair... I thought I'd post some mirror inspiration! First I am showing a pink gem that I can only wish for but never afford... the next are some cool beauties from Target! The 4th is one from Craig's list that I am trying to get for $10. Finally, my inspiration.

Oh.  My.  God.

I had NO IDEA there was a GREEK DOMINO magazine!  Found this online tonight.  Tried to ebay it with no luck.  The rest of these pics are some very inspiring rooms from the Domino Flikr page.... sigh...

Rugs rugs rugs!

OK, so last night I went to Ikea and was totally underwhelmed by the selection of rugs there. My goal- replace my cool offwhite shag rug with something shorter that my cat won't eat. All that shagginess can't be good for his digestive track. So I've been hunting for a super cute rug, needs to be at least 5x8'. I have 2 contenders- the DwellStudio™ for Target® Garden Pattern Rug and the Seventeen® Flirt Floral Rug. Really liking the pink one... it's so Barbie! But in a cute artsy modern way.

So I got really inspired by this framed wallpaper pic, and I want to do my own cheaper take on it by buying some panels of fancy paper from Paper Source and framing those in premade 36x24" frames! I'm thinking behind my bed for this... sound cool?
