I love a white kitchen, in any sort of style. They always seem so welcoming, bright and cheerful. This white kitchen is that of interior decorator Holly Mathis. It is stunning, and has a casual elegance about it that makes you want to pull up a stool with a cup of tea and breathe in the apple pie smell coming from the oven. Yep, I can smell it….

I do. I love you David Ross. Everything you photograph makes my heart sing.

If you would like to send me photos to include in next week’s pets on furniture post, please ensure your photos follow these basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, if the photo is too dark or unfocused it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net. Thanks!

It was suggested to me that I should contact you to enter this cute pic of my 3 month old pup Faora for your Pets on Furniture article.

This chair belongs to my Family since I was a little child (long time ago), and it’s was the first place chosen by Frida to take a nap, when she decided to explore the house.

Here’s a few shots of Miss Indigo. In the first she is sitting on ‘her’ ladder, I suppose as far as scratching posts go it’s not bad. The others simply show her following the sun.

I took this photo Thursday, the day before we left for Montreal to pick up our new dining chairs. Phoebe and Felix were wondering why in the hell I was crouched down in the corner of the dining room. 

If you’re looking for cool artwork, funky throw pillows, a duvet cover that did not come from Ikea, an original tote bag, then head on over to Redbubble – a diverse creative community and marketplace offering more than ten million pieces of everyday art that have personality, wit, soul and meaning. Redbubble connects more than 350,000 artists with people in more than 150 countries across a variety of canvases – from apparel and accessories to wall art and more. There is so much to choose from it’s sort of ridiculous. And so much fun. 

Art prints – they are 100% cotton rag Giclée, printed on stunning 240gsm natural white archival paper with archival inks and floated so they fit all standard frames.

Throw pillows – one thing most art has in common is it’s quite dangerous to hurl at other people. Until now. Welcome to Redbubble’s Throw Pillows. As soft and comfortable as an alpaca full of marshmallows but considerably better looking. 🙂 They’re 100% spun polyester pillows that come in 3 sizes, with the design printed on both sides. 

Tote bags – made from a durable, poly poplin fabric, double sided, full bleed printed….with a comfortable black cotton shoulder strap and available in three sizes.

Duvet covers – available in twin, queen and king, these are a brushed polyester printed topside with a soft cotton/polyester off-white underside and a concealed zipper and ties for securing your duvet inside.

I went through many pages looking for some that caught my eye and there were sooooooo many – and such an incredible variety of styles. Here are several beauties that I really like…

The last few days have been a little crazy. I thought I was going to rescue kittens on Thursday but the plan backfired. The husband and I drove to Montreal Friday to pick up our new tulip dining chairs (and ended up also bringing back a headboard and bedside tables), then we spent the evening at Ikea because we found out one year that Halloween is the BEST day to go. I bought a new desk there that turned out AWESOME (photos to come soon). Yesterday we went to the Third World Bazaar, which I should point out is only open for a handful of weekends around Thanksgiving every year so there are only 2 left, and I scored some gorgeous kilim rugs to hide my icky yellow/orange stained hardwood (photos of that soon too). Today I have to paint the living room alcoves (I was supposed to start yesterday but ran out of time) and then it will finally be finished! 4 freaking weekends! AAGGHH!!! Needless to say I only had a few moments to spare to find something to blog today. I came across this apartment and had to share mostly because it is a chair porn extravaganza! The space, located in New York, belongs to stylist and designer Marcus Hay and was featured in Architectural Digest Russia. Marcus is a collector, and he is very smart about grouping his collections in small vignettes so the compact space doesn’t look overcrowded.
