Front porches and fireplaces. Just sayin’.
I love where I live. Don’t get me wrong. But, I think eventually I want to end up in a place where I have a lot of land (acreage I used to say. Acreage, people). Pretty much the exact opposite of what I have now, but I think I’ve kind […]

The highlight of my recent dentist appt. was perusing the September 2009 issue of House Beautiful. I hate to admit that I haven’t ever paid much attention to this magazine…but this issue was gorgeous, and all about COLOR.
Things That Inspire recently completed the quiz in Last Words section of the magazine, posted her results, and […]

I was at the SF MOMA today with my lovely friend Abby who was in town. We went to go see the Richard Avedon exhibit {which was kind of small, but fabulous} and ended up spending just about as much time in the museum store, where I fell in love. With a book…and a way […]
