Back To School Inspiration

TS — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:46:14 +0000

Big day today…1st day of school! There’s the squeal of bus slowing down to pick up the patiently waiting passengers & out the rolled down windows flows the chatter of kids filled with excitement and nervous energy as they drive on by. Suddenly it’s quiet! School’s in session and Mom’s everywhere get a little break. ☺ Here’s a few school-inspired, back to the drawing board interiors for your enjoyment!

Eat Pray Love…And Shop

Mega hit Eat Pray Love, based on the incredibly popular book by Elizabeth Gilbert has turned into a huge merchandise campaign that includes clothing, jewelry, candles, perfumes and home decor. It has even inspired our Etsy friends.

Here is a look at a few of daily d’s favorites…

Elizabeth Gilbert lives in a quaint river town not too far from my home. It is a place where I love to eat by the Delaware River, walk the river path and shop in all the cute stores.   In fact, I bumped into the famous Elizabeth enjoying the same path by the river not too long ago.  When she is not writing, meeting with Oprah or meeting with big movie reps…she runs her unique imports shop with hubby Jose called Two Buttons. Here is a little peek into their warehouse.

The living space below is in the city of Ghent in Belgium. It was created for a family to live while their home was being completely remodeled. They certainly took advantage of every square inch.

Not Your Grandma’s Quilt

TS — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:32:25 +0000

As we bunker down for day two of the latest snowstorm to hit our area (it’s been snowing since the wee hours of Thursday morning), there is not much to do except snuggle up by the fire with my favorite quilt, my pile of mags and a Diet Coke. I have noticed that modern design has infiltrated the quilt world. Whether hung as artwork, placed on the bed or used to snuggle on the couch quilts can bring warmth & style into our home. There are some really cute & stylish quilts that I would love to get my hands on. Here are a few of the daily d’s favorites…
