{ Matchbook }

The latest edition of Matchbook is out and it is fabulous, as expected.  I think there are some really stunning photographs in this issue, and it's worth a peek for the photography, let alone some of the noteworthy finds. A taste of what's inside...

{ Show me Art : Show me Hope }

The disaster in Joplin, MO is very close to my heart because I've planted my roots here in Kansas for the past 7 years.  As with any tragedy, it's hard to imagine the devastation and daily impact for those who have lost so much.  I was delighted to find these lovely prints being sold by moosylvania, with 100% of the proceeds going to the southwest missouri chapter of the united way.  You can contribute and make your purchase at the moosylvania Art for Joplin shop.  So sweet.  Show me Art : Show me Hope.

{ be still. }

Found some charming handmade pillows over at be still. on etsy...and oh, yeah...totally want to buy them all.  I need to find myself a pillow-sugar-daddy...seriously :) .  Check out the full be still. line here, you will not be disappointed.

{ Surprised? }

Out of character for me, but I am totally into this interior...this mis-mashy hodgepodge of crazy patterns is fabulous and totally confusing all at once! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and you are inspired and confused by something surprising as well!

{ Stenciled Floors }

I've been loving the stenciled floors I've been seeing for quite sometime, so I thought I'd see if I could round up some images to share.  There are so many possibilities for stenciling floors, and I am liking what I am seeing...just not sure if I have the energy, but gaaahhh...these are gorgeous!

{ Oh My, Ms. Cox }

Courteney Cox's Malibu home is featured in Elle Decor and it's quite stunning.  Very understated and open, modern and simple.  If you haven't seen the article, go here to check it out.  It's always fun to see celebrity style.  Here's a taste of her relaxing retreat.

{ In Love With... }

These photos by Anna-Malin Lindgren from Simply are gorgeous!  Stumbled across her site and am in love with her eye and aesthetic. I definitely appreciate her style, and you must check out her patio, because I would love to be relaxing there at this very moment.

{ Here's to Daring Adventures... }

Found this image over at design darling and thought it was quite a beautiful photograph.  A good piece of inspiration to be reminded...

{ Layla Grace Playtime }

Just playing around with some fun pieces from Layla Grace.  I love the mixtures of traditional and rustic that they offer, but think it's even more fun to mix them unexpectedly and see what you come up with.  I need another home with many rooms so that i can express all of my different tastes and ideas!
