Holiday Fete Decor

This year we embraced plaid in a big way. Holiday inspirations: tartan, Harry Potter, Wind in the Willows, European hunting estates...



There's nothing better than a cozy comfy room in the winter. In an ideal world, we'd have the space to add a suit of armor, a roaring fireplace with some dogs lolling by the fire, stuffed hunting trophies, silver cups, and Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries lining the walls.

Elle Decor House

I'm a sucker for decorator showcases. Sometimes the design ideas are fantastic. Here are some images from the Elle Decor Showhouse in San Francisco:really great closet bar.framed rob photo in the teen room. LOVE.what girl wouldn't love this pink room and the keep calm wall art?Loved this room's color scheme and airiness. Fantastic little vignette. I love old typewriters and the looking glass is so great too.

I saw this photographer featured on Creature Comforts and fell in love. He reminds me of my trip up the CA/OR coast.

Miz Manatee's Favorite Room: The Kitchen

I've decided that if I ever buy my own place (ahem...when...WHEN... I buy my own place), the first area I need to decorate and furnish is the kitchen. It doesn't have to be huge, or even that high tech. I'm really loving the look of retro refrigerators, especially those that come in pretty Easter egg pastels. The SMEG fridge [above] is one of my personal faves, as well as the Big Chill fridge [below].

Loving the look of this eat-in kitchen. Tons of light, a touch of color, and a cozy country-retro atmosphere. Such a happy kitchen.
