A great use for old books...

What a great idea, all you need is glue, pages from old books and... lots of patience!  This lovely idea is from the new Anthology magazine, their motto: print is not dead! Yeah!

Speaking of books, this is your last chance to participate in the giveaway for my novel at Sogni e Sorrisi, so don't miss out!

Lovely Spaces

I wish I had a closet space that was this neat!

White Magic

                                                  

I'm having a major white moment.

Seriously thinking of painting my bedroom furniture white. I'm sure it would make it look more airy and light...I feel that my home has been neglected somewhat in the last two years since I spent so much time slaving away on my upcoming novel.  I had to put aside many other interests and passions to get it completed. I'm now itching to get back into a bit of decorating!

Flea market find

Here's a picture of the table I found while shopping at an antique flea market over the weekend. It was in great condition. It has wheels and I guess it could be used as a bar cart as well. It looks a bit like the bench to the right in the first picture above ( which I believe is a picture taken in Candace Bushnell's apartment!) ...Hope you like it!

A stunning home in this month's Vogue

I nearly keeled over when I came across the pictures of the London home of the owners of the Rug Company in this month's Vogue. The colors and furniture is to die for!! This is exactly the style that I love, a mixture of bold colors, and of old and new.

Pick me up

It's snowing here in Montreal today, so I thought I'd post some pick me up images below to put a smile on your face to beat the February blues! Going shopping at a local flea market and will let you know and post pictures of what I find!

I love the little turquoise desk. It's giving me a few decorating ideas!

Lovely Attic

Happy table

I do believe it is possible to create, even without ever writing a word or painting a picture, by simply molding one’s inner life. And that too is a deed.

A dream home

This house is to die for. The white floors and walls are a perfect back drop for the colorful accessories and furniture. I could definitely see myself living ( very happily) in this space!!!
