my kind of dining

There isn't anything about this kitchen/eat-in that I don't love - including that basketball.  A great example of mix-and-match perfection.  From RedOnline.

ann sacks tile

My favourite trend of 2011 - the return of ethnic and decorative tile.  And Ann Sacks does it best.

1 kitchen + 3 living rooms in grey & brown

Comfortable, lived-in perfection.  From RedOnline.

a place in france

I think I could handle living in this pied-a-terre in France.  From Rive Gauche Rehab.

baby blue & red

Again and again I come back around to this colour combination, to me it satisfies both ends of the colour spectrum - a little bit of cool with a little bit of warm.  This first image even makes me consider painting the walls of my apartment a soft powder blue.  I said "consider", so don't hold your breath.

a shot of red

We all know I like a shot of bold colour - and what is bolder than Red.  RedOnline [ironically] just featured a shot of red in their 10 Best Series.  Here are my favourites - you can see the rest here.  [PS. loving the pulls on those kitchen cabinets]

pass the cream

While at Michaels last night I stumbled upon this little guy - I've been wanting a ceramic cream carton for a while - and priced at only $2, I couldn't leave it behind.  Plus the "cream" writing the side perfectly matched my cookie jar.

perfectly aged

Now who didn't see Percy's before and after piece on Design*Sponge on Thrusday.  His place is the epitome of what I would love to put together.  White walls, dark floors, great vintage items and splashes of colour for that perfectly lived in space.  Check out his site - jersey ice cream company - for more of his salvaged finds.

christmas morning

Brunch Christmas morning in this kitchen would be perfection.  From RedOnline.  PS I've been eyeing those concrete pendants for months!

rust & patina

Never looked as great as in this Swedish Homestead spotted on seesaw.
