Global Glossy...

Our apologies for infrequent posting lately. We are packing our bags for a whirlwind trip overseas and promise to return with insight on new design, color trends and tons of pictures. The bright side to long flights and cramped airports is most definitely the international magazines. With interesting perspectives, insights and unfamiliar styling, these publications rarely disappoint. We've kept this Australian copy of Mindfood among our most cherished archived magazines. Enjoy their recipe for Pregnancy Trail Mix!

50g sunflower seeds

Blue Moon...

We get all warm & fuzzy this time of year, after all it was only a few years ago we were planning a very big, life-changing event with celebrations in two wonderful cities: Key West & New Orleans. While strolling the streets for inspiration, we fell in love with the beautifully traditional porches, all with a common thread: blue painted ceilings. Memories came pouring back after seeing the Apartment Therapy post today on this phenomenon. Some believe the color wards off evil spirits, while others belive it keeps pesky bugs at bay. Whatever the reason, we love it not only for porches but for living rooms, kitchens & kids rooms. Enjoy the view!
