Friday Fun Stuff-Colorful Spaces to Brighten Your Day
I used to do a twice-monthly post called Friday Fun Stuff. I would post some favorite links or whatever "fun" stuff I had on my mind. If you seem to enjoy it I am going to give it another shot. Pinterest is a constant source of inspiration for me. I use it for client projects, and ideas and personal inspiration. We have had so much dreary weather here on the Central Coast I thought we could use a little Friday Fun Stuff, Colorful Spaces to brighten your ...

I love Anthropologie for their interesting, artsy, outside of the box separates, shoes, and accessories. I find that some work for me and others don't it is hit or miss. However, Anthro days make me happy because I can give some of these things a try. Here are some of the Pretty Anthro Finds-It's Anthro Day and that means everything is 20% off (yippee!!)

Currently Obsessed-Jeffrey Dungan The Nature of Home

Once when my design obsession Beth Webb came out with her book, An Eye For Beauty and the other when Howard Backen's inimitable book From the Land hit the shelves. I am currently obsessed with Jeffrey Dungan The Nature of Home. I seriously cannot put the book down. The house on the cover is a farmhouse in Alabama. When the clients contacted him all that stood on the property was the ...

Beth Webb “An Eye for Beauty”
Today I am doing my "happy dance" Seriously If you have read my blog for long, you know there is one designer whose work I am totally in awe of. There are always new designers whose style I love but none whose work I respect and admire more. I have written posts about Beth’s work here and here. I have been praying for a long time that she would write a book. I popped over to her website and guess what? She has and it is available for per order on Amazon ...
