so, I just found these!!

and these!!

and these . . .

and, maybe best of all, these

and I adore both of these, but they're a little more than I'd like to spend.

all from Visual Comfort.

Security System

I was thinking about one of these just inside the front door to ward off intruders.

more kitchen beauty

These sconces

maybe not quite this blue, but everything else is pretty close. Love the painted floor again, just not sure I could bring myself to do it to wood. But it's so gorgeous!! Dark walnut island, light (probably not marble) countertops, blue perimeter, clean whitewashed wood plank walls, and something lovely and lit above the island.

the laundry from the Green Home is fabulous!!! Brilliant "built-in" washer-dryer. Why has no one done this before???!

So, I was originally thinking of raising the ceiling in my kitchen/dining all the way to make it cathedral (although chapel is a little more appropriate). Then I ran across this pic which is basically just raising the ceiling to above the collar ties and painting it all and I think it gives a nice architectural look without the expense. Plus leaves lots of attic-y crawl space for insulation. Hmmm . . .

I think this is a pretty cute shower stall idea. Just not sure about the framing of such an item . . .

Bright ideas

i think i need this. in my powder room. maybe two.

Where are you puppy dog?

I know you want me to use this fabric somewhere in my house!

Martha, Martha

Gorgeous bedroom colors!

How adorable is the plaid rug, and especially the tiny little upholstered chair!

Love her or hate her, you can't deny she has great taste . . . although I did come across a bathroom pic on her site which featured a very pink tiled shower . . . .
