Favorite Blog: How About Orange

August 23, 2010

This blog is certainly a favorite of mine and is one of my go-to reads. It always has wonderful ideas and DIY crafts. Plus they always have free printables and downloads! The designer is Jessica Jones and we most definitely must be kindered spirits– her favorite color is ORANGE too!!!
One of her most recent posts is AMAZING.

Free canister decals by Cathe Holden that will make your heart flutter!
ENJOY!

Fabric LOVE

August 22, 2010

I am OBSESSED with this fabric by designer Seema Krish. Seema (located in Boston!) brings her Indian heritage to her gorgeous textile fabrics. All fabrics are handmade and can be custom made to order. One day, when I have copious amounts of money (HA ha.) I will line my couches with these pillows and cover my beds with these throws.

really beautiful stuff!!

domino.

August 15, 2010
Being home this weekend has been amazing.
I love visiting here for many many reasons, but one in particular is my mother’s decorating book collection. One step into my childhood house and you will instantly know where my love of decorating comes from. From patterns and knick-knacks to bookshelves and quilts, my mother has it all.

One book I have been devouring over the last few days is this one from the editors of the domino magazine. Unfortunately, this magazine stopped it’s publications a little over a year ago, but this book is a decent replacement with over 250 pages of decorating bliss. Domino: The Book of Decorating

the good old days of Blueprint

August 11, 2010
Do you know what I really miss?
Blueprint.

Does anyone else remember this positively perfect magazine?
It was Martha Stewart’s magazine for twenty-something home decorating/organizing lovers such as myself. It had adorable (and inexpensive!) ideas for making your home (or apartment!) just as put-together and stylish as can be.

Does anyone know of any similar magazines out there today?
I suppose design*sponge and apartment therapy can feed my hunger for now, but sometimes I just want to hold paper, turn pages, and read in my bed with a low light next to me. Ya know?!

Oh Blueprint, how you are missed.
