Speaking of baking a cake, how cool is this stackable bakeware from Scandinavian designer Christian Bjørn!? I love it! Freezer to oven to table. Sleek, modern, and oh-so-practical!

For a while now I've been dreaming of the idea of having a lovely little round pedestal accent table in my living room. It would be a place where my guests could set their drinks (I think it's very important that everyone have an easy place to set their drink) and its lovely, curvy lines would be a nice little contrast to the mostly clean, somewhat masculine lines of our living room. I haven't yet quite found the place or the table to make my dream come true, and I'll admit that I'm a bit nervous for the actual feasibility of such a lovely little table with two rambunctious dogs always in the living room (there's no point to a nice place to set your drink if some dogs will come along and just knock it off), but I'm working on it. And after seeing some of these tables, I think I will have to work harder on making this table happen! My first love. I think this one was from Ballard a few years ago, but I can't seem to verify that. I had just saved the picture without a source. If you know where it's from for sure, let me know!  My reason for posting this morning: Martini side table from West Elm.  I just love how they styled it in this room:  Another yummy from West Elm. I think I'd prefer it in a fun color, though.  What do you think? Too dangerous with the dogs around? Or should I just make it work? :) I am so in love with that Martini side table at the moment...
Super yum! I spotted these curtains today at Anthropologie's website. I love their uniqueness and great, artistic way of showing off lots and lots of patterns and fabrics, and I love how the whole thing is bordered and brought together by the bold stripes down the sides. I wonder what else I could translate this idea to? Wouldn't it be a great way to use up fabric scraps? Pillows? Wall hangings? Dress?   Images via Anthropologie
Whew. This has been a week! My husband and I are in the midst of home renovations galore, and I do most of the work! :) I'm working on some things to post (befores and afters), but for now, I will just post some inspiration. I just got new kitchen chairs (sooooo happy) and am working on a full-wall, floor to ceiling pantry, so I am in kitchen mode.  This is not nearly what my kitchen looks like. I only wish my floors were wood painted turquoise, that my walls were shiny subway tiles, that my appliances were stainless steel, and my kitchen so bright and airy. Aaah, one can dream.
