Home Office Design Ideas

How adorable are the above series of pictures with Jenna Lyons and her son. Made me think about how her son picks out her shoes for her everyday. Children are the most brilliant creatures.

Also I guess I am not sick of chalkboards because I really enjoyed the one in the above room...perhaps the orange velvet couch helped to up the chalkboard's stock.

I am so ready for fall.

speaking of textiles I am test driving the below 2 pillows. I am feelinf they might

There are not enough hours in the day I say.

Can't seem to keep on top of things.

That's OK though because I just found the most wonderful lacquered trays and boxes from Home Goods that look just like this and that. They are really quite lovely so I would not blame you if you headed over to your nearest Home Goods. I could think of a few friends right now that could REALLY use the them in white and black.

Also I really quite enjoy the above fabric that I ordered swatches in all of the colorways. Fabric via Lewis & Sheron.

When I catch up I will be back.

On occasion I get emails from my readers that are coming to visit the The Valley of the Sun wanting to know good places to eat and shop. Usually I just feel like I want to direct all of those inquiries here to the real expert but without a doubt I can tell them to visit Found. The owners Kristen and Dan Alber are not only such nice people but have a beautiful shop where they have hand picked so many of the items that go into their shop. Oh and if you can't make it to their shop then perhaps a little visit here will help satisfy that something, something.

However the current foreclosure crisis has made now the perfect time to invest in a beautiful piece of beach front property. In today post I don’t want to suggest you to buy a beachfront propriety, but I would like to show you a collection of amazing bedrooms that provide a panoramic view of the ocean, images of clear blue skies and beautiful tropical blue beaches. Some are fortunate enough to live by the ocean and get to enjoy it’s beauty year around, but for those of you who don’t have this privilege here are some amazing bedrooms and of course some amazing panoramic ocean views.

Still from Sydney, Australia, we will be taking you on a architectural frenzy holiday with us to the Queens Park Residence designed and built by CplusC Architects and Builders, an Aussie based architects. The home design itself is based over the idea of being a good wood. So as expected, it displays the firm’s love over wood which makes it warm. The house strongly shows that it is modern architecture housing. Taking the first step inside, the main hallway is comparable to a tree trunk, lined with a rich wood floor and ceiling. Into the heart of the house you will find an open concept kitchen, dining and living area and out into a rear courtyard you will enjoy the wood deck which encircles the pool. Get ready to swim around the house designed by CplusC Architects and Builders.
