Take That West Elm

I love getting the West Elm catalogs in the mail.  So much inspiration and drool worthy stuff in there.  I was looking through one day and noticed these baskets.  In the picture they have them holding plants.  Pretty neat idea I thought.  Seeing that they were $99.99 a piece, I moved on and didn't dwell on them too long.  We were in West Elm one day and they were on sale (don't remember how much)

Escaping to The Village of Islands

I want to say a heartfelt thanks to all of The Library's beautiful readers, and especially those who have taken the time to post thoughtful comments these past two weeks. Reading them has made my heart sing as we've travelled through the US. I also want to apologise for the pathetic lack of posting from this end.

Even though the Jays lost, it was a fun day trip. Don't blue jays have the most beautiful colour pallet in their feathers? Sometimes the most

It's been really busy on the work front, but when work means meeting up with lovely clients, in their gorgeous homes, I'm not complaining. Over the past weeks, I've taken a couple of road trips to the beautiful Byron Bay region.

Striped Curtains In The Office

Since the beginning of the office project, I have wanted bold patterns and colors.  The grey wall is the perfect background to add pops of bright colors so it doesn't feel too dark.  This office space is for both of us so we are having to compromise on some things.  The things I like, he doesn't and vice versa.  We've been bouncing ideas off each other until the both of us agree it's a design
