Favorite images from my favorite blogs

I haven't written up a favorite images post in awhile so I thought I might today. Enjoy the eye candy!

I love that soap in the "milk" scent. A bar might cost you $7, but it lasts me a whole year!


These images were all shot by the wonderful photographer, Lara Rossignol - and from her wonderful blog, Piewacket.


Poppytalk features many "real artist studios," which I love. It is inspiring for me to see how other artists work. It's also nice to know that real studios don't look like perfect magazine offices!

Check out my friend Van's house in World of Interiors

Posted by Mr Wong at 3:33 AM 0

Van's home was featured in the November 2004 issue of World of Interiors! She was kind enough to share it with me and let me post it on Decorology. Van is one cool lady who has lived and worked all over the world and is known as the "Zing Girl," and is a branding and design guru. As you can tell from these photos - her husband's (a sculptor) studio is also their home. Pretty cool!


oh Brooklyn - how I miss you so!




Loving this little nook and the salon style wall.

A little showcase of artist homes

Wow. What a long week it has been. On a whim I was looking at some artist house tours and decided to share. Have a great weekend!

Creating a "Universe of One's Own"

I was lucky enough to stumble across the interior design of Ludwig. These rooms can't help but evoke passion and a little bit of mystery. Ludwig designs for period properties but does so in a way that could be lived in now. I really don't need to say much - you'll see for yourself. Enjoy :)

From my library - small space living

I thought I'd share from you some of my favorite images from one of the very first interior design books I ever purchased. It's always fun to look back!

I love these wooden floors - and the fireplace!



charming - and checkout the blue floor!


It would require a lot of tidying - but I really like the glass front pantry. Check out the mix n' match table and chairs.

I liking the look of art leaning against the wall more and more. I also really like the fuchsia carpet and the retrained fireplace decor.

I love old houses - and when a renovation includes old architectural elements I don't mind "newness" so much.

A really good way to divide spaces in a studio - this solid screen acts as a wall/headboard.

A romantic treehouse retreat...
