Mug

It's getting chilly...which makes me think of tea...and mugs. Big mugs. Llestri Cymreig.

A New Take on Antlers

I spotted these antlers by Luke Bartels on Remodelista. 

Unlikely Treasures

A feather, a stick from the garden and a piece of string...may not seem like treasures to many but that's what makes them so special...don't you think?

Bike: Madsen

 
I know these bikes were all over blogs ages ago, but I think they're worth revisiting...and with summer around the corner all I can think about is being outside...in the sun...on a bike...with a humongous bucket.

Sofa: BOYD

The perfect curl-up sofa by Pinch.

Wobbly Plates

They're thick as pancakes, vivid and textured, and charmingly WOBBLY...

All The Pretty Horses

I'm recently quite obsessed with horses...and I love this mixed-media collage by Dolan Geiman. I'm sure I could find a wall...

studio bon: TEXTILES

When we were living in Fort Collins, one of our neighbors had two wingback chairs sitting in front of her house with a little sign that read "free." Chris and I ran home, hopped in his old trusty pickup, threw them in the back, drove them home and plopped them in our very sparse living room. They're quite ratty and covered in a hideous old peachy upholstery...and I'm desperate to get them reupholstered...to look exactly like this!

Fabric wall paper

Right now we're living in a rental house and it's hard to put any personal touches on walls when you're worried about your damage deposit. However, I think I've found an answer: fabric wall paper. The DIY Network has a great post on easy-to-remove fabric wall paper that you can stick to your walls with...starch! I think I might use this fabric - Peonies in Green, from Heather Bailey's new Pop Garden Collection - on a wall in Sylvie's room.

And she's off...

This blog has been a long time coming...I am so excited to finally get this going. Since I had Sylvie in December 2007 I've felt this overwhelming urge to get creative, get crafty, get going. So this is it...and she's off...
