obsession: poppin

This is a DREAM site for anyone that loves a monochromatic look. As all of you know, I love white, and when I first discovered Poppin my heart raced a million miles a minute and then exploded with happiness. They've got every color imaginable - head on over because it's absolutely heaven!

a hint of inspiration . . .

After a weekend filled with a jaunt over to Marin for a little shopping date with a girlfriend and spent some much needed quality time at home before a busy week ahead. This week I'm inspired by layered bracelets and khaki trenches; fresh cut flowers and stacks of old magazines; inspiration boards place in beautiful workspaces. What's inspiring you this monday morning?

Have a lovely week everyone - hope it's off to a fantastic start!

beautiful bones . . .

This gorgeous 1905 Toronto Victorian home had my heart a flutter as I went from one image to the next. The color palette, lovely details, and effortless style is exactly what I look for in a home when I'm browsing for inspiration. It's perfection in my book!

office: which one do you adore?

Desks and office spaces have always been fascinating to me - you get a glimpse of what a persons style and personality is like. Whether their messy or neat, like color or neutrals, it all comes out in their workspace. I've dug up some of my favorite office spaces, both oldies and newbies to see which one you'd want to transport yourself to for a days work. It's a tough decision, but I'm going to have to go with workspace number one but with a touch of number five (the bookshelves and lounge area). I'd love to know your favorite.
