next stop wonderland.
oh, how i love the look of this whole place i saw over on emma’s design blog a while back, from a feature in hus & hem magazine. i just can’t get enough of the Scandinavian design sensibility and this is a great example of that easy-going, effortless eclectic style. i can’t read a word about it, since hus & hem is published in finland, but i can soak up all this pretty inspiration. emma always finds the best of this look, so for more inspiration, pop on over to emma’s design blog.

sunday in the city.
i spent this sunday at the alameda flea market, and a good time was had by all. it was my friend suzanne’s first visit, and she was my little good luck charm — we scored so many awe-inspiring finds. here’s a peek at our sunday in the city.

at home in Edinburgh.
i was checking out inspace locations for some inspiration for around my house — that darn living room of mine is still a work in progress otherwise i’d share — but i came upon this wonderful apartment in endinburgh, scotland and fell in love.
i like the eclectic mix of natural woods and woven rugs and a quilted collage of pattern and textiles, along with loads of fresh white. the modern furnishings and quirky pieces, like antlers and unexpected chinese lanterns, co-existing with older antiques looks quite smashing, too! and that view of Edinburgh is awfully charming, as well. love it all!

vintage finds for a modern world: mirror, mirror on the wall.
i love the look of vintage mirrors, even when the glass is old and distressed and my reflection is a little off (sometimes, that’s a good thing!). i saw this photograph that one of my favorite artists, sandra juto took (above) and it gave me the idea to share with you some decorating ideas using beautiful antique mirrors. mirrors are wonderful for making a room look larger, adding depth and reflecting light and shapes. here’s a peek.

sunset special.
i was eating a yummy lunch a few weeks ago at outerlands (with artist leah giberson while she was in town for her show at rare device) and we popped in next door, to the General Store in the outer sunset for a bit of browsing. i love the vintage vibe of this sorta surfer-chic shop, well-curated with loads of unique home accessories, objects d’art, books, jewelry, clothing and a load of really cool succulents.
there’s even a wee greenhouse designed by visual artist jesse schlesinger out back, that owners serena mitnik-miller and mason st. peter appear to be constantly upgrading. the general store is one of those shops you just want to support and frequent often, a very ‘mom & pop’ local feel, and tons of great gift ideas, and complete with the sweet resident dog, macy. check out their news section for upcoming shows and events.
