Lilly love...

I just stumbled across these images of the newly renovated Lilly Pulitzer store in Ardmore, Pennsylvania... My favourite part of the store is the incredible toile scenes painted by the extremely talented Paige Smith who is a print designer. The last image above of one of the dressing rooms leaves me speechless!!!

Creative space {No. 2} ...

Following on from yesterday's post on creative spaces, the above design studio belonging to Betsy Burnham {as featured in Lonny magazine} is one of my all time favourite office spaces. For me, I love the simplicity of the storage from the white boxes stacked on shelves to rows of ring binder folders - both in simple black cupboards, yet the effect is stunning. A central work area I think works well in a small office where the team can collaborate on various projects. The varied mix of fabrics & accessories brings the office to life and creates a personal yet stylish look. Even though the space is comfortable and practical, it still manages to be beautiful and inspiring!!!

Fab family...

After stocking up on some magazines again yesterday {I have been slack & haven't read some of faves for a while}, I came across this groovy family featured in the Dec 2010 Living Etc. The article is on Ottilie Stevenson {a textile designer} and her Georgian farmhouse in Suffolk. I was smitten - this is the coolest looking family ever!!!!!

Designer faves...

I am often revisiting designer's websites to see if there has been anything updated or added to their portfolio, and I came across Krista Ewart in my files. Even though some of her work has been shown extensively around 'blog land' {and rightly so}, I couldn't resist posting a few of my favourite pics!!!

White out...

Sometimes when things get a little crazy in your life, it's nice to unwind and relax in a tranquil space. These above images instill a sense of calmness and serenity and offer a peaceful place to escape the world. As much as I love colour, it would be nice to have some 'white out' time.
