I am in LOVE with this space!!!!!!! Nicola from Concrete and Honey gave me the exclusive on her beautiful abode. Nicola resides in Sydney and always features such pretty things on her blog. I now know why it is so easy for her to blog beautiful things. Her style is impeccable! Please enjoy and don't forget to go say hello to her.

Take a look.... Christopher

You never know who you are going to meet on Twitter. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Christopher's office on Twitpics so I just had to see the rest of his home and the rest of his home matched up with his office. The first photo I saw was his dining room with the plate wall and you know how much I love plate walls!! Take a look for yourself and enjoy.
This dining room table has been in his family for 4 generations.


What a great butterfly gallery wall! I have another butterfly wall to show you later this week.



Great use of color in this room.



Thanks Christopher!

PillowHappy...

The name of this Etsy store says it all. Pillow Happy!!

Read it vertical....

I wanted to change up the built in shelves in my family room and give it a fresh look so I removed all books, pictures and knick knacks and replaced the books vertically. I also grouped them in families of color. I found new homes for the accessories so that the shelves felt more neat and clean.

I really like how it turned out. I only photographed one side of the built ins. The other side is exactly the same but with other colors. I would love to paper the back of the shelves so if you have any thoughts on some fun paper shoot me a message!
Also, check back tomorrow for a fabulous giveaway that all bloggers and business owners will love and want!!

{Style Test} Joanna

So I am finally finishing up my last batch of {Style Tests}. (If you are still waiting for yours its coming!!!) This {Style Test} comes from Joanna who is a magazine editor. She is engaged (Congrats!) and will be combining households soon. I hope that this led you in the right direction Joanna!!!






Joanna's Style- Eclectic Mix of modernized country, rustic, Mediterranean and total chic! 

This style is a complete makeover of style present and past. Contrast is a must and textures range from soft to sharp. Dark goes with white, metal and wood are best friends and statement pieces are enjoyed. Unafraid is the name of this game!
