The 3 F's: Fun and Fancy Floors

EVERYONE NEEDS A FLOOR. IF NOT, WHAT WOULD YOU DANCE ON?

I have all of these shipping pallets and nothing to do with them... Oh, I know!
I'll turn them into my new wood floor. This design is not only stunning, but
kind to the environment by using recycled shipping pallets. Brilliant!

I get a lot of emails from vendors peddling their wares, but very few make me shriek

with excitement. This company is one them. Now I just need to find a client willing to

give it a whirl. Any takers?

the rainbow at your fingertips give you a wide range of options.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: Seven

GIRLS IN WHITE DRESSES WITH BLUE SATIN SASHES

SNOWFLAKES THAT STAY ON MY NOSE AND EYELASHES

SILVER WHITE WINTERS THAT MELT INTO SPRINGS

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

This floral pillow from Company C makes me feel all springy inside.
It's the best I've got right now. Stupid snow in March.

Don't you just love this photo from Little Paper Cities?

Lego Taxidermy is the only form of taxidermy I can get behind. Well played.

This painted fireplace with the white surround on Houzz is pure genius.
Another clever way to draw one's attention to the focal point.

I know I'm not the average party hostess, but these Pet Fish Soap in a Bag would
make one hell of a hostess gift.

Pink, beautiful interior and Dior. Just lovely, Dior Bebe for Autumn-Winter 2011

Glitter Sneakers by Miu Miu, I'll take two pair. Thank you.

A pink chair. I don't think I need to say anything else, Apartment Therapy.

One of my favorite girls! Miss Nancy Marcus at Marcus Design
is one talented lady. Be sure to check out her blog.

The Great Wall of Pretty

So many options and so little time. It seems that practically every day there is something new popping up in the world of wall options. Makes me wish I had enough homes to do one of each. Since that isn't an option, yet, below are some of my faves at the moment.

Not just for the 70's anymore.

miniatures

For as long as I can remember, I have loved anything and everything miniature. There is just something so precious and adorable about an object in small form. So, you can imagine my surprise and delight when I came across prd miniatures a couple of years ago.

I have yet to take the leap into miniature house decorating, due to the lack of even a minute of free time. But I vow that someday I will own a mini-home of my own.

PRD (Paris Renfroe Design) Miniatures was started in 2008 when owner and designer, Paris Renfroe, began to market and sell 1:12 scale models of his full size modern furniture.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that sectional is the same one I got for a client last month and mini-magazines. This guy is killing me!

Paris also began to build 1:12 scale shipping containers called “M112 Pods”
(M-modern 112- 1:12 scale).

Here are some of the many amazing miniatures in prd's line. I'm pretty sure I'm buying that Ghost Chair just because. I mean, it would be a super cute little what not to have, right? I swear, if you didn't  know these were minis, you would think you were looking at a home store catalog.
