Glass Lanterns

Pretty, vintage-y alternative to a chandelier. From NYMag.

inspired

I received the beautifully photo-filled Design Sponge hardcover for Christmas and can't wait to spend some more time with it. Grace Bonney's enthusiasm for the non- traditional approach to design is obvious and the images are fun and inspiring. Makes me want to do some redecorating...

Available on Amazon.

Mason jars

These are so cool! Love mason jars, love chandeliers in a tent, outdoors, anywhere they are unexpected. Not sure if these can be lit though? 100 layer cake.

DeCesare design

I took a closer look the design group that did the studio I posted yesterday and thought I would post some of my favorite rooms from their portfolio. The copper bathtub got me, as did the pendants in that kitchen and the chandelier over the built in bed. All three photos from different homes. DeCesare design group.

Studio space

Loving this room, especially the giant sliding doors on the right. via black*eiffel.

Wood pallets and rustic rope

I popped by West Elm on North Ave last week to visit this mirror (again) and am loving their creative visual merchandising with wood shipping pallets and rustic looking ropes. A little bit trapeze-esque!

Texture and white

The white is so beautiful and still.

Weathered ledge

Love this ledge from Pottery Barn. It looks substantial enough to make a statement or create a focal point for a room as well as store/display candles/photos etc.

Glam master bath

This bathroom makes me swoon. Gorgeous tub, huge dramatic windows, relaxing green walls, and a heated floor.

*via house beautiful

Love the clean design of this kitchen wall, especially the fresh herbs in cache pots. Everything is out and handy, but very neat and uncluttered. via simplygrove. These rails are slightly different, but similar system available at Ikea.

Hopscotch

I've been looking for a small rug for our office/guestroom and I think this one is pretty fun...

Furniture factory cart

I really like this furniture factory cart from restoration hardware as a vintage coffee table. Think santa can fit one in my stocking? Restoration is having a friends and family at the moment and the postcard said pass it on, so I am! 20% off, Dec 11 to 14, code F2P2009. While you are shopping, you might want to pick up this funny accessory for cold weather hand holding.
