505 Square Feet

Does anyone else remember this teeny tiny Swedish apartment featured on Desire to Inspire last year? I'm always so inspired by people who make the most of small spaces, whether with white walls and pared down furnishings or mirrored surfaces and effective storage. The wallpapered room divider is so chic! Do you think you could survive in 505 square feet?

With Bated Breath

Words cannot describe my excitement for the January launch of Matchbook Magazine! I find daily inspiration in the blogs of Katie Armour, Jane Lilly Warren, and Fallon Hogerty and, if these photos from their recent trek to New York are any indication of what's to come, I have no doubt that their collective effort will knock my socks off. Until then, I'll be content to follow their adventures on Facebook and Twitter in anticipation of the big day!

I've Been A Busy Bee...

...because I also dreamt up a little gift guide for A Lovely Escape! Audrey explained to me that she and her boyfriend exchange gifts by category:
* Something you want
* Something you need
* Something you wear
* Something you read
...which I thought is just brilliant! So brilliant, in fact, that it's how my boyfriend and I will be doing our holiday shopping this year. Thank you, Audrey, for having me and for the inspiration you've imparted! Please go check out my sparkly picks for each category.
