I'm really into collections lately. And so I am loving this collection of folding mirrors. I think the presentation could be stronger and more organized, but a cool idea.

One more. Though I like the metal one more...

I love the industrial horizontal cabinet as a coffee table. I really need to get one of these to hold my prints.

I like the juxtaposition between the all glass wall and the solid wood door. It seems like this somehow gives you more privacy than the glass paned doors, but maybe if the visitor is only standing right in front of the door. So maybe just an implied privacy?! Anyway, there would be gorgeous light in this place.

Another sweet mobile made from ribbons and paper.

I am loving the bathroom on the right, with it's scientific drawing of weird sea creatures. If we go with urban nautical, this would be a great idea for a kids/guest bathroom. It is crazy busy, but in a way that works.

I think this was saved by Dave, who is dying to have his own private dock. I agree that it is awesome, especially if we could childproof it somehow. And no, tying the kids to life preservers doesn't count.

Awesome closet.

I had previously denounced the cribs that I think look like orphanage cribs, but I love this little orphanage bed. For some reason it's much cuter for an older kid. Maybe because it's black.
Someday when we're rich I want all of our windows to be this kind. Maybe with these shades, even though I can never make them work.

I love this mobile. The person who made it used some bird ornaments from Anthropologie. I think it is gorgeous. But do mobiles just entertain kids instead of helping them sleep?
We have agreed we both love tree lined streets and weeping willows... So here we have trees overhanging and growing together. I usually don't like the white twinkly lights, but I think this is gorgeous. I love how the leaves are lit and the ambiance it makes.

Is it trashy to have your Christmas lights up all year if you turn them on all year too? Because this would look pretty cool with those big colored bulbs from the 70s too.
