Stepdad

I am one of the lucky few that have parents that are still together and still very much in love. I do believe though, that if given the chance my mother would leave my father for Thom Felicia. Nevermind the obvious differences in sexual preference or age... the man has taste! My Dad is a good guy but please - can you imagine having a partner that can pick wallpaper AND pick palettes the way Thom does? Hypothetically speaking, no one is a match for my father but there could be tremendous advantages to having Thom Felicia as my Stepdad.

I stumbled upon a new and completely senssational blog, Ampersand Design Studio. It is creatively organized and full of incredible info. I can't wait to see their shop.

Lulu

I am more than blown away by the illustrations of young German artist, Lulu. Her collages, paintings, and digital work are fluid and gorgeous.

Did you know there was such a thing as magnetic wallpaper?! I love discovering these brilliant things that I never knew existed but are such great ideas. I haven't decided how I will use it yet - but I will keep it in my back pocket.

Headlined with one of my all time favorite quotes, dress design decor is loaded with fantastic things to browse through; stunning photography, elegant fashion and inspiring interior design. All chosen carefully in a cohesive dreamy style that is nothing short of chic.

Modern Shed

If you have read my local real estate offerings, 'mini-barns' are noted as a positive asset to the property. It is my opinion that's entirely subjective. Modern Shed is offering not only aesthetically awesome storage space but living space as well. In their concise and clever modular offerings, anyone can build a tastefully customized dwelling. Wouldn't these make fantastic lake houses? I just need lake front property... and a boat.

I have no explanation for my obsession with barn conversions... they are just so beautiful! I love a great loft or brownstone, but I'm a country girl at heart. When done well, a great barn conversion artfully places contemporary and city based design against a backdrop of corn fields and rolling hills. It doesn't get any better.

Today's favorite blog...

My summer resolution to is to be better at posting when I discover a new fabulous blog. I should share with the world what I find so inspiring! But aside from being drawn to it for obvious reasons (you had me at tall, blond and pink) these girls have some fantastic resources.
