Yes, please
I have concluded that for me the most important feature of a home is good light. Good design is probably a close second. This kitchen appears to have both. Maybe one more set of windows on the left exterior wall to achieve absolute perfection?
Eames Elephant
If Baby Girl inherits the guest room furniture I might need to splurge on an Eames Elephant to add a little fun and whimsy to her room. She is an animal lover after all!
Fabric Scrap Memory Game
I don't have fabric scraps, but this has inspired me to put together our own version of a memory game in the near future. We spend so much time playing it, we might as well add a new dimension of fun to the game...1/13/09
More Evie
I have grown rather fond of this little angel.
I've never been a big fan of pictures like this, but seeing a baby fit on my shelves was kind of funny.

Deck
I like that the deck has its own little nooks and walkways that provide some separation.

Sleeper Ottoman
It looks like the infrequently used guest room might become T's quiet in-home office (which means I get to take back the main floor office!) so I am back to casually looking at hidden and visually appealing sleeping situations for guests that can be used by us the 345 days of the year no one is visiting.It looks like 'A' will be inheriting the guest room furniture when she finally moves out of her crib since it would just wind up in a corner in the basement. I love the set, and it will be fun and interesting trying to make it a bit younger and girlier for her.

Light
No, I wouldn't want this wall of windows if it faced my neighbor's house, but with this lovely view I would take it in a heartbeat.ZeZe Flowers
This is the most stunning floral arrangement I have ever seen.

Simple Geometry
Don't you feel like you are about to enter a secret garden?

New Year's Grapes
"In Spain, revelers mark the new year by quickly eating a dozen grapes at midnight. The fruit is said to be a predictor of the year ahead: Each sweet grape represents a good month, each sour grape a less-than-lucky one. "
Martha's idea of threading grapes onto skewers, and serving each in a glass of something bubbly just before the countdown is going to be added to our New Year traditions.
(If any of us stay awake that late.)

Native Landscaping
A beautiful example of embracing the natural landscape instead of covering it up with evergreens and shrubs. I am swooning over the door/gate on the right (custom designed by artist Ned Kahn).
These steps look wonderful for playing or mingling.scanned via Nov/Dec 08 Garden Design mag

Crazy, crazy weather
We went ice skating this week...
...In the middle of our street.
Weather is a fascinating thing.

Taken out of context, but universally true
...I can’t help but reflect on what, in my view, is the most important rule of business in today’s integrated and digitized global market, where knowledge and innovation tools are so widely distributed. It’s this: Whatever can be done, will be done. The only question is will it be done by you or to you. Just don’t think it won’t be done...
-Thomas L. Friedman, NY Times
Lollipop Trees
I just nabbed this unlabeled photo off a friend's blog and have to guess that it comes from the creative mind of Amy Atlas. The table is pure delight at first glance, and then you notice that the stands in the background are little trees, but not just any trees, they are growing lollipops!Suddenly you realize you might have died and gone to a very aesthetically pleasing and detail-oriented heaven.

Luck vs. Work
"I'm a great believer in luck
and I find the harder I work,
the more I have of it."
Thomas Jefferson
T and I had a discussion about hard work vs. luck this week and this quote is a good conclusion . The timing in reading this was perfect, or you could say it was good luck!
Indoor Climbing Wall
We know we should choose stairs over elevators to get a little more exercise, but using the rock wall seems like an even better choice...
This room would make my monkey-kids so happy, and I would appreciate the good night's rest the exertion used on this wall would provide. You could always keep the rock wall close to the ground when kids are little and add more climbing holds and height as they grow older.

If this nightlight were on my child's dresser we would dream up an imaginary fairy family and create all sorts of nightly adventures for them.

Cupboards or Drawers?
I think I like the look of "horizontal cupboards" on top and all drawers on the bottom.(Don't you love my technical terms?)
