Hello Lovelies! Forget christmas, forget Valentine's day. They are some things that I just want to be gifted now! So... Gimme gimme gimme some bugs-in-a-box!

Hello Lovelies! I really like the color combo in this house: This is Catherine's place, and you can visit it thoroughly here. Since I love white flowers, like the ones shown above, I love a quite dark background to befit them best. Here we have a touch of (dark) orange and other autumn colors. Love! enjoy! -Beautymist.

At least this makes an occasion of taking fun blurry pictures of the countryside, through the bus window. Do you feel the urge and rush? So, that being said, I want, starting this coming Monday, to analyze in-depth 30 tricks for small spaces, courtesy of Marie-Claire Maison magazine. They have just published a booklet on the subject, and I want to... [Lire la suite]

Hello! Another AT House Tour not to be missed! I especially loved the art Michelle hung above the couch in the living-room... Amazing, isn't it? Love its soft greys... The art is by Scott Benedict. Here's what Michelle says : "the paintings are by an American artist - Scott Benedict. I bought them about 8 yrs ago from a small chelsea gallery called Zieher Smith www.ziehersmith.com. They might still be able to find you some of Scott's old work and if not, perhaps you can track Scott down directly on artnet.com" ... [Lire la suite]
