I am liking the gallery walls full of framed pictures. This one has quite a bit more punch to it than the others have shown.

I could live in a house made out of multiple little rooms like this. One for eating, one for reading, one for drinking hot chocolate while wrapped in blankets just after dusk, one for growing poppies in mismatched pots.
I love the little cobblestone walkway with the grass growing around it- not completely straight and tidy, just charming.

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.

Kids Bed ...

So I really like this bed. I think if our kids have a shared room, something like this can give them a real sense of space (if we can't get them into a dormer bed). I like the beadboard ceiling, the light, the trim in the corners, the stairs and shelving, although I might move the stairs to the side. I would probably add a curtain track all the way around the interior.

So this floor is made from wine crates. And though I am no connoisseur of fine wines, or bad wines really, I think I love it. We could also make it out of apple or orange crates or something that actually has meaning to us.

My love for mismatching grows. I love the idea of having kitchen chairs which match in structure reupholstered in mismatching vintage fabrics in a color key.

Minus the pale tan of the walls, I love the colors in this room. Overall white, but each accent color is so bold and used so sparingly. The blues, reds, greens, and oranges are the same vividness and work so beautifully together.

How awesome are these little gondolas strung across the ceiling? My Swiss Miss heritage is gushing. Also, it's just plain cool.

All right Dave, is this too girly?

If I had found this headboard on the side of the road I would have been all dramatic and made gagging sounds, but refurbished and decorated in the after picture- I kind of love it. Maybe it's the dark gray paint (Honestly, I'm a little obsessed with the gray lately. I think I blame Washington. Zing!), but I want to climb in this bed and watch The Royal Tennenbaums or something.

Dave, what do you think of these chairs with the new kitchen table? Granted, they are Ikea, but they are very country-ish, but with a touch of modernity, too. Thoughts?

When we first moved into our Water St. apartment the previous (and horribly dirty) tenants had a low rack of lockers that they used for a coffee table/shelf. I thought it looked awesome.

Oh how I love these colors: the bright yellow, medium and light blue, with touches of orange... Though those Lucite Queen Anne chairs make me want to puke a bit.

Charcoal grey cabinets... (See, Dave, I'm not the only who likes them). And notice the apron sink with the metal front. Also cool: the butcher's block counter, the plank ceiling, and the tile floor (travertine?).
