Need a little extra wardrobe space?

I saw this in issue 3 of Lonny Mag and I really thought it was a cool idea. We could all use a little extra closet space - but what I really like about this is that it shows you how to create a little extra space for your accessories. I know I would love a closet specifically dedicated to shoes, handbags, and jewelry.

The wardrobe they use in this demonstration is called PAX from Ikea.

So nice!


I like the idea of adding a mirror to turn the wardrobe into a little vanity.



Go Lonny Mag, Archive, Issue 3 to see the project in the magazine.

Designer Portfolio! The elegant and chic work of Sara Gilbane

Probably the element of Sara's work that I appreciate the most is how practical it is! It's not so matchy-matchy that you can't add your own personal possessions, and it looks comfy but also has personality.

Do you agree?

The color of that bench next to the turquoise tables is perfect. I'm a big fan on fuchsia right now




Loving the ethnic, old world character of this room

Modern elegance mixed with 1940s glamour

Not too many of us are blessed with the means and circumstances to live among such decadent furnishings, but we can dream! And besides, that's what the glossies are for. So when I was flipping through some of last year's magazines I rediscovered Ralph Lauren Home's 2008 "Mayfair" collection. In fact, I'd posted some other shots from the Mayfair ad campaign in the August 2008 post here. I think it doesn't hurt, especially in this season of giving to others, to give to yourself a little - even if it's just for a moment, in one's imagination, drooling over the keyboard.


oh that bed...that vanity...

I really like the clear to black candlesticks





I wear this same outfit when I have to go to the post office

A sad day - and a loss for the web

This morning I went to check on the Domino website and it was gone!!! This is devastating, as I wasn't finished collecting images! I've been in denial for so long. A moment of silence my friends.

My favorites from this month's Domino - what are yours?

There was one piece in particular I really loved from the February issue of Domino. It was a piece on flowers as decor and the photography and styling was particularly beautiful - and achievable! What do you think - what's your favorite "flower style"?

Modern rustic?


Romantic sophisticate?


or Exotic bohemian?

There was also a house tour featured which had some nice photos:

Love the black for the bathroom walls, and the framed detention paper!

Picture Potpourri

Every now and then I accumulate a bunch of images that, for some reason or another, didn't make it onto a post. That doesn't mean they're lacking in anyway, they just didn't fit into a theme. So I thought I'd just make a little potpourri post to share them with you. Some of them I was bad and didn't remember to source them, so please forgive me, and let me know if you know the source!

I believe these two images are of a remodeled barn- what a cool fireplace!
