Across the street...

There is something inspiring about being able to catch a glimpse into real peoples homes. I love that everyone has there own unique style to offer. It challenges me to think outside the box and design spaces that are me. Below are a few new furniture purchases and lovely room setups by some of your favorite bloggers. Enjoy....

Anna Spiro from Absolutely Beautiful Things purchased these pretty pale pink roses and displayed them on her chest of drawers in her bedroom. What a great scene to wake up to in the morning!
Jennifer from A Merry Mishap bought this swivel based Herman Miller chair for her nursery. I cant wait to see more images of her nursery in the future!
Don't you just love this Le Souk pendant?? Danielle from The Style Files recently added this to her newly renovated home.
I am very pleased with Urban Outfitters right now. They have been selling some great stuff for the abode. Jennifer from Made By Girl just received this couch for her office. I love yellow!!
Trina from La La Lovely bought this child's chair from Euro Trash and re-upholstered it. It looks great!

Spotlight.....

Here are a few products that are pretty fabtastic. (I know, that's not a word. Its my own personal word!)

This lovely wall graphic comes from Loxii, a community based wall graphics business.
'maigrau' is a new design brand established 2007 by the designers Nik Back and Alex Stamminger. They design some incredible pieces including this light.

You can find this here. Teo Jasmin has some ultra fun stuff.

The dresser of all dresser drawers......

Did anyone adore this dresser that was seen on Apartment Therapy back in January? Well I apparently did because I am bringing it back 5 months later:) Has anyone seen a piece similar to this lately?

A little yellow....

....because its lovely.

I like to call this image a cozy summer sipping iced tea moment.

Exclusively Home....

Here are a few great new items from SG's sponsor Exclusively Home.

Some fantastic finds...

I was way behind on my Google Reader so when I finally caught up today I found some fantastic finds to say the least. There are so many creative people out there and so many fabulous spaces. When you start to think that everything has been thought of you seem to find something lovely!

Pre-War Apartment...

Sorry about being slow at getting a post up. My kids and I are moving at the speed of turtles today. I hope you all had a great weekend. I know I did!
Read more about this amazing apartment below here and here.

On a funny note...

Recently I have noticed a few misspellings of Simply Grove on some sites and blogs which please don't think I take offense to this. I find it rather funny.
The first one I noticed was Simply Groove. It made me feel very groovy. And then there was Simply Gruve which I'm not sure how you would even pronounce that? But the best one so far is Simply Glove. Yes! I am simply a glove!! I think its clear that I need to post about a glove or gloves or how to incorporate gloves into design....you think? Nice:)
Anyhow, please check back next week for a super great Giveaway and ofcourse some more {Style Tests} and possibly a fantastic Take a Look.
I hope you all have a great April weekend! God Bless.
Love this wall via haus maus.
