I found the Atrium House, by MESH Architectures, via Design Milk today. I love that the house was built with a courtyard right in the middle of it. The Brooklyn home also has huge windows all around and big folding glass doors which bring in so much natural light and allow for views of the pretty courtyard.

I have been looking at a lot of purple lately so perhaps that's why this blog post came about. I found lots of fabulous examples for using purple in a room. It really is a beautiful color and is both bright and warm. Enjoy!!
(FYI, the reason for all the purple exposure is because it's my daughter's favorite color AND she wants to be a purple bat for Halloween so mommy is making it happen! Bought my purple fabric today! Thanks High Fashion Fabrics.)

No, my name is not Stella but I do love furniture. More importantly, I love great furniture pieces. I came across the furniture creations from Stella Love today while checking out a new (to me) blog by Second ShoutOut (SS are passionate about vintage contemporary pieces and will have their own online marketplace soon). I adore the Stella Love creations (available through Nube Green)! She uses plaid fabrics and vintage Swiss Army blankets to bring life to these old furniture beauties.... (she also makes clothes!) Enjoy!

I would first like to thank Contemporist for sharing houses like this one. The first picture I saw of the Dune House (by Jarmund/Vigsnaes Arkitekter) had me hooked. It's so different looking on the outside. It's lines are not perfect and it actually looks a bit weird at times but it's striking, unexpected and interesting. The inside design is very minimal but beautiful and the decor is kept simple but comfy.

I absolutely LOVE Halloween and it's only 2 weeks away!!! This is my favorite time of year and I have decorated for Halloween since I was a kid. I was searching the web a little while ago to see what great decorating ideas and fun stuff I could find and wanted to share some of what I found with you. SO FUN!!

I found this house while browsing freshome today. I love the clean design and easy furniture pieces. Plus they seem to have a thing for alternating the colors of the chairs. Interesting. And the backyard is FANTASTIC!
