Light-It-Yourself
I was flipping through Readymade’s book How to Make (Almost) Everything and came across the project pictured above. I love that it uses recycled material, but looks really modern. The instructions can be found here but if you don’t have the book, I highly recommend buying it. This is another lighting project from Readymade magazine, [...]
Toile de Jouy
Toile. I think it’s one of my favorite words. Twahhl. The fabric can be rather matronly, though. A few months ago, I saw a toile pillow in an article on the Canadian House & Home website featuring Canadian bloggers (article has since been removed).

Photographer: Trine Thorsen
Norwegian photographer Trine Thorsen’s portfolio is absolutely stunning. Each photo makes me think, well, I want to go to there. The other day I bought a little record cabinet (for Ryan’s thinned out, but still huge, record collection) and the woman who was selling it had a fantastic vintage metal locker as well. We passed [...]
The Sincerest Form of Flattery
This photo is from anthropologie, seen here. I absolutely love the feel of this photo – the feel of worn-down vintage mixed with clean and modern. Mmm. But these items are just a wee bit out of my budget. So I decided to track down some (much) cheaper alternatives to create a similar look. (No [...]
