Sometimes I Just Say "Chip It"

These are some very dear plates from Anthropologie and a very good reason to say "Chip It". That is, you can upload this image to Sherwin Williams' program by the same name and voila! you will receive paint chips of the palette. In fact, you can do this with just about any image. How many times have you tried to memorize a combo of colors that you think would be awesome for a room only to forget it... love, love, love this tool! 

Time for Some Magical Thinking

'Raise the Roof Red' Jay McCarrol Fabric found on Bon Bon Atelier

I came across this quote by Editor-in-Chief, Amanda Dameron in this month's Dwell magazine and loved it. "Start with empty space, honestly assess how you want to live, make thoughtful choices, and you'll find yourself at home. No strange alchemy or occult intervention required." I can't begin to parse all the ways these words apply to living well within the self. No wonder I am so thoroughly obsessed with the idea that our homes are external novellas to our internal landscapes. All inextricably intertwined.
