Pretty Maps: Houston…

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Kathleen • Leave a comment

Check out the website (http://prettymaps.stamen.com).  It’s pretty cool – you can map almost anything. They have a Boston, LA and San Fran print for sale on 20×200 (along with other towns I don’t live in) as of now.  This would look awesome blown up and hung behind a modern, low back sofa, a hallway, the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Kathleen • Leave a comment

If I owned the house I’m living in, every wall would be a shade of white (until then it just seems futile.  Or after four rooms it became futile).  While the thought of white walls may seem to be the antithesis of inspirational, white is bright, clean, versatile and non-competitive; a perfect backdrop for the … Continue reading →

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Kathleen • Leave a comment

I’ve been looking into bookshelves for some time; trying to figure out what to put in my living room that won’t make the already small space look even smaller, cluttered and more congested.  While I’m leaning towards the pipe and pine bookshelf (see #3), I appreciate elements from all of the below and might incorporate … Continue reading →

Modern Vintage: Julia Child meets Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Kathleen • Leave a comment

     Another web find but a good one none the less.  (I’ll eventually post more than just shopping interests!)  House 8810 is geared primarily towards mothers with a taste for pastels, porcelain enamel and pearls on a string.  I admittedly have a weak spot for all things annoyingly cute so, although I really have … Continue reading →
