If I were still living solo and didn’t have to consult my handsome husband (I love saying that!) on bedding I would be particularly tempted by this waterfall ruffle duvet.  The classic white is my favorite with its fluffy cloud-like perfection!  Ideal for lazy Sundays during which I lounge about reading glossies…

Forgive me for being on a bit of a photography kick lately as I search for art to cover our bare walls.  These three shots by Shannon Blue are particularly simple and sweet, don’t you think?  Cherries, daisies and  Tiffany’s blue…be still my heart.

This morning I am admiring these photos from the Ozlem Haluk Boutique.  The top shot reminds me of young boarding school days (did you notice all the tiny stars?) and the bottom has a raw loneliness that evokes memories of living solo in the big city.  Simple and lovely.

English Eccentrics

These watercolor animals in British garb made me smile so big I think I may need one for our new apartment.  With a last name like “Armour” (pronounced like knight-in-shining…) our walls could use an eccentric Anglo touch!

These dark, moody shots from the upcoming Jayson Home and Garden fall 2010 catalog have me yearning for more.  I love the bold mix of peacock, leopard, and ikat.  Their stylists never fail to impress!  To request a copy of the catalog click here.
