I don't want people to feel awkward or avoid visiting because they're constantly afraid of breaking something or getting stuff dirty. I know a lot of people like that - and even family gatherings become stressful for everyone, hosts and guests alike.  |
so true.
have a clean house..but practical. it bothers me when people decorate/freak out over cleaning so much that the people who live in the house feel uncomfortable 
clean and decorate, but dont go over board

I just had a bunch of old links stored in a note in my BB, so I was digging them out.

I'd hit that.
Minus the dark floor - I might replace it with light bamboo flooring.

My mom has a whole big fat pot of jasmines growing on our deck. I might be able to send you some the way they came into the country - rolled up in a ballpoint pen.

Re: Homes & Interior Design
Surprisingly, I this this kitchen is so kick ass: House of the Year 2008: Kitchen Details - Country Living
I LOVE this by Country Home Magazine, " We designed the ultimate “drop zone” in our 2007 Portland show home, a catchall room for paying bills, crafting, doing laundry, washing the dog, and so much more.
Make your primary desk work overtime by including a bank of wall cabinets. The mix of open and closed spaces allows you to organize paperwork behind doors while putting pretty stationery and journals in plain sight."
The cabinetry is beautiful.
I would LOVE a laundry room like this- hell I even love the flooring [which I normally don't], it goes so perfectly:
I love flock storage containers:
Really cute kitchen but I'd change the cabinetry:
I'd change the bench fabric of course but this is a great space-saving idea:
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I wouldn't want this for my house, but I do like the look:
