Font Friday – June 11
Today's post is alpha-chic - 26 typographic chairs designed by Roeland Otten. These ABChairs are literally an alphabet to sit on, or if you're like me, a life-size game of Boggle. //Read More
Remembering Italy
It has taken me a while, but yes, I'm finally getting around to telling you about my trip to Italy! My family and I went for the first two weeks of April and toured Rome, Florence, Venice, Bergamo and Milan. We started off eating fabulous olive bread, pizza, gelato and ended the trip with a bit of a twist... eating green tea Kit Kats... //Read More
Recover: Not your Grandma’s Wallpaper
Wallpaper has been around forever (it sometimes seems to last forever) and it's definitely made a resurgence back into homes over the last few years. Typical wallpaper is made from vinyl with lots of chemicals so what about eco-friendly options? Funky Little Darlings has got it covered. //Read More
Meri Meri
Ever since going on a diet, I've become obsessed with food. I salivate when I see food magazines. I'm watch the Food Network when I work out and lately have become fixated on stainless steel cookware sets and kitchen gadgets. I'm sure armchair psychologists would have a field day with me!

This is a fantastic idea and I love wall decals myself (there's a huge one on my living room wall) as it's an easy way of changing the space without the hassle of painting. //Read More
Measuring Up
Can you believe next week is March already?! I have a feeling this year is going to fly right by. Spring is for fresh starts and to prep for the summer that's just around the corner I'm embarking on a new diet and fitness plan. This means lots of food measuring to watch what I eat. Blah! //Read More
Library of a Modern Girl
With the way technology is going, the cries of, "Print is dead!" can be heard. While I love my Apple products and dare I say, even those e-readers (despite my initial reservations) there is nothing like holding a book in my hands. I find filled bookshelves quietly comforting and curiously appealing. It's like a million different lives sitting and waiting for me to dive into. The space is limited in my tiny apartment but in the home of my dreams, I have a library. And these books would certainly be part of the collection. //Read More

My Starbucks travel mug has finally found its match. Or...ahem... its superior. KOR ONE Bottles are now the new conversation piece at work, the lunch table and the workout room. Water redesigned and beautified. //Read More
