I have recently decided that if my friend Abby Powell's aunt wanted to adopt me for a period of time, I might just jump at the chance. Whenever Abby visits back home in central California, she photographs pieces of her aunt's house, which can be seen right here. Her home looks like a mixture of a fairy tale set and the inside of Anthropologie. I absolutely adore all of the old collections, artwork, greenery, and just the personality that seems to seep throughout every corner. (I must add, it also helps that Abby certainly has a way with that old camera of hers.)
There are few sites that manage to inspire me as much as Sunday Suppers does. From the stunning photography (by Karen Mordechai) to the styling ideas to the truly delicious sounding recipes, it's a food and design lover's dream. And bluntly put, it helps get my ass back in the kitchen.
I have spotted this house tour on a few sites this week and had to share. It is the home of photographer Anita Calero as featured on LoftLife Magazine's blog. It's such a lovely space filled with unique objects and vintage furniture- love it!
this time from Swedish photographer Anna Aden. (Check out her Flickr here.)
It is suddenly what appears to be a beautiful day here in Portland- high 40's and quite sunny with bright blue skies. I have decided to take time away from the computer for the day so I can go out and enjoy it (or just fall asleep on the floor in a sunbeam, like a cat.) See you all tomorrow!
I know I have done collections similar to this one (signage, large letters, etc.), but I can't seem to ever get enough of lettering/type in interior design...
This collection goes out to one of my dearest of friends, who appreciates bunnies more than anyone I have known. And I just can't disagree on their cuteness...
Good morning! Did any of you happen to get some sun over the weekend? Portland was terribly dreary and rainy as per usual this time of year, which means I wasn't in the best of moods. Today, though, there is a bit of sun shining through the clouds and I got a whole lot of sleep, so let's hope for a good start of the week.
Whenever winter hits full-force, all happy/uplifting music seems to get ignored by me and I tend to stick with beautiful, yet rather sad songs on repeat. And really, who does it better than Elliott Smith (whose early death magnified just how sad his songs were)? I remember watching this performance, a cover of the song "Thirteen" by Big Star, on a videotape many years ago and found it so very beautiful and almost haunting- I just have to share (plus, it includes snippets of rainy Portland, which just seems fitting.)
so I am posting them today. A new collection from Rifle Paper Company, this time featuring lovely hand-designed valentines. Cute as a damn button. ($4-$16)
