{ Bodo Sperlein }

Found these interesting items at Bodo Sperlein.  Love the unique simplicity of the items for sale...definitely take a peek at the shop here.

{ Lesley Dilcock }

Wanted to share the fabulous work of Lesley Dilcock, a UK stylist who specializes in lifestyle and interiors.  Lesley was a fashion director and contributing interior editor for Marie Claire, UK edition.  She now works on a freelance basis...here is some recent work, and a few from the archives.  She definitely has a unique vision for space, and I love the controlled chaos she creates.

{ Casual Ease...}

Taking a look at Steven Alan...loving the Spring 2011 lookbook, because it's all about comfort...like wearing your pajamas in public...only not...su-wheet!

{ Wallpaper Fun }

Found these great graphic wallpapers over at Hygee & West.  Julia Rothman and Oh Joy! are a few of the fabulous talents that have contributed their work to the collection.  These could be very fun in an office or kid's room.  What a happy little find.

{ Something About Seafoam... }

{ A Sweet Easter Surprise }

Poppytalk has a very cute DIY tutorial for this fun Easter gift.  Although, the presentation is so cute, I'm not sure I could crack it open...ever.

{ Stylizimo }

Stumbled across Stylizimo blog, and wanted to share Nina's sweet black and white living room.  AND...her post cracks me up about changing the styling of her living room 3 times since January...using her neutral staples and swapping out pops of accent colors. I laugh because if I had the funds, I'd redecorate non-stop!  Her apartment is pretty adorable and I appreciate her minimal style.  And check out Stylizimo.com, a home decorating community to share inspiration, DIY projects, and interior design.

{ In Love With West Elm }

West Elm has been making me very happy lately...

I love my friend Tobe's blog Because It's Awesome, and I am loving her I Am Project that she is getting going over there.  Take a look here and check back over there to see the revolving ideas in the series.  It's a very talented group of gals and the idea is pretty awesome...because it is...

I thought this was an incredibly unique and sweet idea from Kozue on etsy.  For $35, she will take a photograph of you and your partner and create a hand crafted stamp!  This could be a fun purchase for wedding invites, or just mail in general!
