I found this incredible Manhattan apartment today thanks to Elle Decor. It was recently completely redone by acclaimed interior designer, Steven Gambrel. To say that this home is beautiful is an understatement. There isn't one room that wasn't done to perfection. Enjoy! : )

My friend, Whitney, is a Pinterest-aholic. She is always Pinterest this, Pinterest that and for good reason. If you haven't checked it out yet, I suggest that you do. Pinterest describes their site as an "online pin-board community" where anything you love, find interesting or beautiful, places you want to visit etc. can be Pinned to your boards and shared with everyone who follows your boards. I have seen so many great design ideas, fabulous recipes and such; it's fun. If you know someone who is already on Pinterest they can send you an invitation or you can request an invitation through the website. Check out some of the Pins.

Today, while on Etsy, I came across the cutest shop!! It's called Jenzet (aka The Little Illustrator) and in that shop you will find some of the most original and adorable prints! The original pictures were done on a real sheet of paper with a real pen (by Jen of Jenzet) and then digitally colored. The prints available through this shop look great and have such sweet images and messages; I just love them. Also, Jen can do custom prints for you, you need only talk to her about it. AND, did I mention that she is right here in H-Town?? Enjoy! : )

I don't know if it's just me finally starting to notice or if wallpaper has always been so great looking? I bought a copy of House Beautiful the other day and really loved a lot of the wallpapers used in the featured houses. Then today I checked out Elle Decor and saw more neat wallpaper. I think wallpaper is an easy way to add personality and color to a room. Here are some good examples.

I saw this house while checking out Southern Living. The house is so classic and beautiful on the outside and it just gets better once you walk through the door. I really enjoy the different prints and colors used throughout the house. Love it.

The people over at HGTV have done it again!! They have already given away the 2010 Dream Home, located in Sandia, N.M., but have a "green" home up for grabs. This years eco-friendly cottage was built in Plymouth, M.A. and looks like a comfy and environmentally conscious way of living. The sweepstakes for the Green Dream Home ends June 4th, so check it out! Who knows, you might win and/or learn new environmentally friendly ideas that you can incorporate into your home.

This is real. Someone took a vintage Vespa and made it into a child's rocker. I am so freaking jealous. Check it out at Ohdeedoh.

Due to my ever expanding family, and my pathologic need to buy them gifts, I've had to cut back on my spending in the friend category, but I still like to create a little something to let them know I care. Maybe this would fit the bill?

I found it over at Twig & Thistle. Everybody likes a little something sweet and who doesn't have fond memories of roasting marshmallows for S'mores? I love an easy, creative idea.
