Coral???


Miss E. has decided her new bedroom colour will be coral (????). Who am I to say? I personally loathe that colour and was pleased to see that trend come and go quickly. So I googled away and not a lot out there. But here's what I found at Spoonflower, which I found I really like!!!:




John Robshaw:

Mr Ralph Lauren:

Amy Butler:

This is my fav - we'll see what she thinks. This has a younger flavour to it and I like the mix of colour here. The Spoonflower fabrics would work well here too!

Steve Jobs 1955-2011


As a fan of all things Apple, I was saddened by the news of Steve Jobs. The world has lost a legend. The apple site has a link to leave condolences: rememberingsteve@apple.com

For those who want to see a truly inspiring speech given by Steve to graduates on FB:

While I was surfing....

... I found some lovely pics at Crush Cul de Sac. I will warn you: you can spend hours there! These photos spoke to me in terms of inspiration and aesthetics. Our architect came by last night to put finishing touches on the plans before submitting to the City for permits. Yay! So we are getting closer!!!!!!

I loved this sink and country look for the mudroom/laundry room, complete with wainscotting and shelving.

There will be a sunroom and I kind of LOVE this lounger.

I have a collection of plates and always wanted to hang them up together. I think this looks so pretty!

I have always liked an open and interesting foyer. I love the tree, but of course it may not survive for long unpotted, but a potted tree will! Love the sunniness, big solid door and grounding black! 

I would say this would make a very lovely guest room.

I have been looking at a lot of white bathrooms lately and this one is white too. Look at the way the wood changes the clinical feeling of a stark white bathroom, to one of warmth and an element of nature. Fantastic!
