Happy Friday everyone! I am off work today (YAHOO) and trying to get up the strength to start some of the projects that have been on my “to-do-as-soon-as-the-holidays-are-over” list. Or I might ditch all that and since it’s a balmy day (just above freezing) I may ditch my list and go for a walk down to some of my favourite shops. While I am contemplating life (and on a serious note, thinking about the horror in Haiti and people like this who are making a difference), I thought I’d leave you all with some lovely photos from the portfolio of art director and lifestyle stylist Lucy Berridge. There’s a couple ideas here that piqued my interest – the fridge built into the wall off in a corner, the thin red trim around the door frame, the lattice on a closet/armoire…

What can you do if you’ve got a space (or in my case an entire house) that is totally lacking any sort of architectural feature? How about some beadboard, trim, chair rail, paneling, moldings! A friend at work has been hitting up my twin sister and I for some decorating ideas for her blah dining room and she mentionned wanting to do some molding on the bottom half of the walls. I told her to got for it as her dining room is a square, with a window, and that’s it. I thought I’d dig up some dining rooms that have some sort of molding or paneling on the walls so she could get some ideas on how to go about it. I’m including some living rooms too because this idea is great for any room in your home (I’m pretty certain I’ll be trying a chair rail in my main bathroom as soon as I get around to renovating it).

Continuing on the “small” theme, today I thought I’d showcase some small dining spaces. My favourite small dining space includes a built-in banquette – preferably in a nook. LOVE THAT. I am determined to one day buy a house that perfectly suits such a thing. I would spend every waking moment there – eating, blogging, reading mags etc. There’s a few banquettes below, among other seating arrangements.

We’ve gotten several requests lately for posts featuring photos of small spaces. So today I thought I’d feature some small-ish kitchens for your viewing pleasure.
