Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 4:46PM With glorious, warm weather on its way, we can't help but feel nostalgic for all things spring. The best part about this time of year is getting to spend more time outdoors, especially after being cooped up inside for the winter. We love tree houses because they offer a great way to get kids outside, even if the weather is not cooperating quite just yet. Check out these digs...

Friday, January 27, 2012 at 4:54PM When we are looking for inspiration for new designs, displays or patterns, one of our favorite resources is a Norwegian blog called Norske Interior Blog. Although we can't read Norwegian, it is clear from the images that the featured designs on this blog are simple in concept, functional in use and cozy in aesthetic.
One way in which Norwegians achieve their hallmark style is with the surprisingly common use of wall paper. It seems that many Americans hesitate to use wall paper, perhaps believing it to be a dated way to decorate a space. In fact, many wall paper companies are now referring to their products as "wall coverings" to steer clear from its unfashionable reputation among Americans. We can certainly sympathise with anyone who has ever had to remove wall paper from their own walls. Nevertheless, our favorite Norwegian blog demonstrates that wallpaper can transform a room by adding a pop of color, great pattern, or subtle textured look to a wall.
While taking a tour on the Parade of Homes in Minneapolis this past year, we discovered one line of wall paper called Arte that stood out to us as beautiful, clean and modern. Take a look at how wall paper adds so much to these cute nurseries.
Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 2:05PM We've seen some adorable children's portraits out there. We do, after all, work with Ten Tiny Toes Photography. Last year, however, we stumbled across images that were taken by wedding photographer Jason Lee. Mr. Lee has two adorable daughters that he has photographed in the most creative and humorous ways. If you just look at the concepts behind the images, you can't help but laugh.
Find more information on Mr. Lee and more fun images here.
