girlfriend wants a cupcake.

is it wrong for me to wish that this would magically show up in my driveway?? it would totally change my day if it did....thanks design sponge, i'm offically drooling.
**maybe this is what we should convert my bro's airstream into?!!

i need a little pink....

i adore that pink door...it's so fun and spunky....something that is the exact opposite of me today. to quote my husband this AM, he said "you look like you got hit by a mac truck". nice. i guess he isn't really into dark circles under the eyes/ side pony tails/ mascara down the face kind of girls...i pulled an all nighter w/ my sick daughter last night and boy, was it fun. not exactly the same all nighters i pulled 10 yrs ago...however, i think i would rather have a sick baby sleeping w/ me vs. cramming to finish a term paper....i should probably shower so i don't scare people :)

Nathan Egan...

there is no denying that wayne nathan and carol egan can create a dynamic interior, just check out how wonderful the images above are...based in nyc, this design firm is also the home of top design winner, nathan thomas who served as a senior designer before leaving to be a contestant (wonder if he is still going to work there?). check out their portfolio...you can see that several have a "nathan" appearance....

gourmet kitchen.....

can you guess the manufacturer of this top of the line kitchen?? how would it look in your house...unfortunately, it's got a bit extreme price tag for our household. but boy, is it fancy!

nate berkus's manhattan pad...

here is a perfect example of how small spaces can have a huge impact. w/ one day to find the right space, nate decided on this 550 sq ft pre-war apartment in the west village. he started w/ painting everything white- floors, walls, trim, and ceiling- creating a perfect palette for his collection of vintage and new furnishings. i love his eclectic style. but i think my favorite part in his apartment, are the ink blue doors and accents (this is a color that i think we are going to be seeing a lot of)... so enjoy!

suzy hoodless

i spotted suzy in traditional homes with her wallpaper line for osborne and little and i knew she would have something fun to offer....boy, was i right. i think that this quote from image interiors sums her up nicely- 'Suzy Hoodless is creating some of the most exciting interiors around with her intriguing mix of daring design and colour with amazing pieces of furniture. None of them should work together, but somehow she manages to pull it off beautifully' .

i could just love it to "pieces"....

did you see it? the new cottage living is out and while i am not quite ready for christmas decorations, i was super happy to see lee kleinhelter's newly renovated home (as if her last one wasn't good enough)! does she do anything wrong? she's cute, has a fabulous house, and has a store that is just to die for....
