Trays are awesome. Tray tables are even better. But an elegant white table with fretwork detail and a mirrored tray that looks like it should cost way more than $69.99? Sign. me. up.

...if I wasn't the ONLY girl who lived there. Somehow, I don't see my husband or my muddy boys working in these gorgeous spaces. Too bad for me...
Since I wouldn't be the woman I am without my three boys, then I'll just need to slip in some pink and green where I can...

I am so done with rectangular placemats on my round kitchen table. It drives me nuts. Just NUTS. But a standard issue round tablecloth is a no-go either with my two jumping bean boys who would most certainly rip the thing off, dinner plates included, the first minute I put in on. But a chalkcloth tabletop? I could get behind that.
Spotted two weeks ago on one of my daily reads -- Sweet Sweet Life -- I haven't been able to get the image out of my head. Amy just bought some yardage from a local Etsy seller and cut it to size.
Voila! Table covering and kid distraction all rolled into one.

The first time I spotted the Linnea Calendar at my local Paper Source, I was instantly drawn to it. I love woodblock prints, and although I wasn't sure of the technique that was used, the calendar reminded me of one of my very favorite artists, Sabra Field. But like most fabulous things I see when I'm and about running errands with my children, I promptly forgot all about it.
So this past weekend while I was catching up on my Google Reader, I came across a fabulous mood board that used a Linnea poster...so excited to discover these again!
As it turns out, the Linnea posters, calendars, cards and more are created by the mother/daughter team of Linnea Asplind Riley and Johanna Riley Kriesel, who specialize in "bright, bold graphics with images that appeal to children and adults alike."
You can say that again.

I've been in love with Madeline Weinrib's sophisti-casual rugs for as long as I can remember, but with price tags in the thousands, Ms. Weinrib's rugs will not be part of my reality anytime soon. Luckily there are some terrific floor coverings inspired by Ms. Weinrib's work without the accompanying price.
Problem is, my favorite rugs are her pink beauties, none of which I've been able to find in an inspired-by-and-therefore-less-expensive version...
...until I got the new Garnet Hill catalog this weekend!
