Treasures

by rosedeniz September 28, 2008 nesting

Tweet treasures, originally uploaded by ATLITW. The small treasures in this photo are so diverse and beautiful. What is it about collections of things that drive me wild? Here I am, on a Sunday night attempting to declutter my studio (my magazine stack to throw away is 30 high), and yet, I see little piles […]

30

by rosedeniz September 26, 2008 nesting

Tweet Today is my 30th birthday. Lina is on the couch breaking smiles at me after a long nap.

I’m going […]

Tweet The first coat of paint went on the walls of our bedroom last night, and well, how can I say this delicately?… it looks like pink insulation. It should be called Styrofoam Pink in the catalog. This little diagram below should explain pretty clearly: It’s been plaguing me all day. Of course, it is […]

Lists again

by rosedeniz September 22, 2008 design

Tweet I’m testing the PictoBrowser for Flickr photos with my mother’s lists from a previous post. It’s nice not to have to add every single picture and allow easy browsing.

Anna Maria

by rosedeniz September 21, 2008 design

Tweet This Radiant Pillow ($84) is exactly what I need on a rainy Sunday evening like tonight. The beautiful bursts of pink and yellow feel both warm and cozy and energetic at the same time. Likewise, the Eccentric Warm Studio Half Stack of fabrics is absolutely delicious. I love the names Anna Maria has chosen […]
