Forget just one book shelf! These wall and walls of books are amazing!!!

I need a new desk so naturally that got me thinking about and looking for.... desks. So, here are some wonderful options from High Fashion Home!!

They just lay there and let us walk all over them! Yes, I'm talking about floors. Very often floors are just left plain but why not jazz them up?! Here are some pics of truly incredible floors.

I'd like to thank Elle Decor for sharing the lovely Ojai home of Reese Witherspoon with us. I love the mix of old and new and the subtle, lived in style of her house. Reese and her friend, designer Kristen Buckingham, worked together to create the beautiful interior of this Wallace Neff designed home. I love all the arches and the woodwork is gorgeous. And, I love this quote from Reese when referring to the history of the home, "When you buy a beautiful piece of art, you don’t really own it. You're just the caretaker."

I always loved watching my grandmother put her make-up and jewelry on at her vanity. I have very vivid memories of sitting on her little bench (once she was finished) and going through all her lipsticks and earrings, rings and necklaces.... what fun! Now that I'm a grown-up (haha) I would love to have my own vanity that my daughter could play at when I'm finished decorating my face. Here's some vanity inspiration (mirrored vanities are very popular) -

I have always thought that living in a round house would be neat! Today I saw this little blurb about round houses on MSN. The Monte-Silo home they listed really caught my eye and I wanted to share it. It has a very unique exterior (the house is made from 2 linked corrugated metal grain silos), a beautifully interesting interior and it's located close to the Provo River in Utah (beautiful views!).
