Flower Mirror

Remember when this mirror was featured in Domino and caused a craze in the design blog world?

It's from High Fashion Home Home and carries a hefty price tag of $599.

Well turns out PB Teen is carrying a similar version now for $169. Not too shabby.

Nurseries

Loving these two nursery designs that have popped up in the blog world recently. And both were done on a budget!

Penelope's Nursery by Melissa.

James' nursery at The Scoop.

Totally dying over that paint color.

Bachelorette Pad

I had fun with this room board for a single lady's studio apartment.

Chevron Pillows

I'm still loving the ever popular chevron trend. The cheapest pillow I've seen is from Twinkle Living for $50 bucks.

Until now my pets:

20" Floor pillows - $35!

Tart House Design : Client's Living Room

This is a living room my mom and I have been working on for the last few weeks, and over the weekend we did the final install. Our client and her cute little family were such a joy to work with. I love how the room turned out!

Kitchen Art

My friend Malia is wanting to make some changes to her kitchen, so today I was browsing some artwork for her - and decided to share my finds with all of you too! All of these prints are affordable and I think would look great in any kitchen.

Vacation

I'm off to San Diego for the weekend, see you on Monday!

While we're there, I'm hoping to drag Zach to some decor shops featured in Grace's San Diego Design Guide.

Clean

I'm feeling drawn to really clean and simple rooms lately. Maybe it's because I wish I was still relaxing in a hotel room.

Room Board : Living Room

Here is a room board I did recently for a client who had a very large living room to fill.

lynette's Room

One of my favorite finds from this room board is the anchor pillow. It's from Bed, Bath, and Beyond; and is only $20!

Entryway Light

My entryway is in dire need of a new light. The current one is from the previous owner, it's too small and too ugly.

Here are some lights I am eyeing as possibilities to replace it.

Pottery Barn - $199
Maybe a little too rustic for my house.

pendant 1stoplighting 90
1 Stop Lighting - $95
I like the shape and the price, but I'm afraid it might look cheap in person.

penant home depot 229
Home Depot - $229
Pretty, but do I want to spend that much?

pendant homedepot 153pendant lampsplus 196
Top: Home Depot - $153, Bottom: Lamps Plus - $197

These last two are probably my favorites. I like the Lamps Plus one more, but it is a little smaller than the Home Depot version (pictures are not to scale), and more expensive. Decisons, decisions.

And for good measure, one of my most favorite entryways and entryway lights of all time - the work of Lauren from Pure Style Home.

Links

I'm feeling a little lazy on this Friday morning, so here are some links I've been loving around the design blog world recently.

closet

Kevin Sharkey's apartment featured on Apartment Therapy, including his unbelievable closet pictured above.

Michelle's cute and budget friendly bathroom makeover. That ceiling is amazing.

Cute and creative tiny birthday party. I am definitely game for anything that gives me an excuse to eat miniature food.

I would never have the patience, but this painted wallpaper is pretty impressive.

And completely not related to design, this video is pretty much my favorite thing that has ever been on the internet, ever.

The 10 Cent Designer

I first discovered the 10 Cent Designer, Lori Andrews, on flickr about a year ago; and was totally inspired. Her rooms are bright, modern, and usually have a quirky twist. I realized I have never mentioned her on my blog, what a crime.
