sit in sleek

As I try to find chairs for my lonely dining table, I'm still not sure where and which ones I will decide to get. Obviously, if you haven't guessed, I need something remarkably affordable, and on the other hand, I came across these chairs, but what am I doing? I need stools! I have a bar-height table...any ideas? I have one chair, but need 3 more....would like them to be all different too.

Pheww, these days...little kids are wrecking it up with style.

...i love olive tan skin against brown threads. Very adorable.

a kid's room...when the paint of an entire bedroom is coated thoroughly over these old radiators, it makes the room look so much sharper. Aged and well polished.

a pile of warm laundry, for some

In the suburb of Sutton, just outside of London, locals voted and decided upon protecting Banksy's mural...the majority decided onto keeping it and as soon as the vote was completed the mural was ruined with thoughtless marks. Which isn't surprising considering the fact that the mural was obvious in suggesting those that do mindless graffiti.

And those who covered his mural are too weak and took revenge. They wonder why their not able to get a vote on? Hmm....

A vintage calendar from France. You're able to turn around these 56 windows to reveal the dates, month and day.

A book, Heart of Mother from Portugal about a little boy and his love for his mother. I love the simple blue mom and boy characters, they seem fun.

Both the calendar and book may be found from London's Present & Correct

These bright yet soft and fun clutches are all handmade by Emma of Barcelona, Spain. The visual excites me even more about the clutch itself. Each one is placed on the chair delicately as if you can press your hand down into it and it would deepen like a down-feathered pillow. I think of folding my warm clothes out of the dryer. That's it. Those colors excite me. Check out her other goodies via Mia Accessories

Not the girls, not the Marc Jacob dress, but the stuff in the background. The Confetti? Yes, the Confetti. These sparkling, garland-making artist duo, Confetti System have been giving us the joy of glisten & gleam...not surprising, their makings are spectacular.
