Blissful bedrooms for a particularly bad case of the Mondays...

Oh man, I have a bad case of the Mondays. What I wouldn't give to just curl up under my fluffy down duvet...

so glam and pretty...

Bright, airy, and beautiful spaces to brighten up your Monday

Ugh - I'm feeling this Monday pretty hard. I'd love to just layout in a chaise on my balcony and read and nap. I thought these white and bright images might be a little pick-me-up...

How pretty is this hammock?

Two fashion designers, two different homes...

I love checking out house tours from other designers. Since they have similar needs, and these two happen to work from home like me, I always get some great ideas for improving my workspace. Enjoy!

I love that this space is super feminine, but the brick walls balance it out with an industrial element.

I really want a dress form - I'm finally going to have space to have a dedicated space for my sewing machine, too.

The home below belongs to a lingerie designer.

love the saw horse desk

Interiors in red, white, and blue

Monday is independence day here in the states, which usually means lots of yummy cookouts, days at the beach, and fireworks! Have an awesome holiday!

A great, fail-safe way to mix patterns is to do it monochromatically. This red bed is a beauty!

I adore this real bedroom from a Baltimore apartment.  The exposed brick and the blue go together really well. Love that dresser too!

You can't get more white than this dream-from-heaven of a bathroom

A red bison and a blue vase on the mantel add a patriotic touch.  I also love the fireplace surround and the toadstool sculpture!

Lovely apartments from my future city

As some of you might already know, in August I am moving to DC because my boyfriend will be attending GWU in the fall to get his masters. While I grew up in MD, I only ever went to DC for school field trips, so I don't really know much about the different neighborhoods. So yesterday before attending Manvi from Mochatini's fabulous tabletop decorating how-to party, which I'll be sharing pics from later, I drove around and explored some recommended neighborhoods. I checked out Columbia Heights, Shaw, Foggy Bottom, Dupont, Silver Spring (MD suburb), and Capitol Hill. It's ultimately going to come down to the $$/space ratio. Anyway, enough of that - here are some fab. DC apartments...


The vintage chic split level apartment is in Cleveland Park.
