Interior design eyecandy
I'm a happy girl today because my boyfriend finally returned from his seemingly never-ending vacation to Chile. However, since it is rainy today, and, well, it's Monday - why not some gratuitous prettiness? Enjoy!

Spring clearing - the dining room (lots of dining eye candy too!)
This room will probably be one of the easier rooms in your home. With the uprising of eat-in-kitchens many of us find our dining rooms not used. Save this room for a day when you don't have a lot of time or pair it with another task.
• Dust down the ceiling and corners
Consider if the walls in your home need to be washed. Check here for information on how to clean different wall surfaces. Don't forget air vents and switch plates.
• Dust and clean all wall art. Be careful when cleaning framed art and photographs. Never spray cleaner or water onto the frame. The liquid can seep behind the glass and damage the pictures. Instead lightly wet a clean cloth to wipe the frame and glass.
• Clean the Ceiling Fan.You know what's worse than a fly in your soup, a large chunk of dust from your ceiling fan in your soup. Dust the fan and fan blades. You may need to use a gentle cleanser like Murphy’s Oil Soap mixed with water and a cleaning cloth. Take down light fixtures and gently wash and dry them before replacing.
• Take down draperies and curtains to wash or have cleaned according to the directions. Dust down any blinds and other window treatments. Dust down and wash window sills and corners. Wash the inside and outsides of windows. Take down and rinse off screens, before replacing.
• Wash down the dining table, chairs, and any other furniture thoroughly. If you have wood furniture that needs to be oiled or waxed, do this now. If your chairs have an upholstered seat, spot clean the seats.
• Clean the carpet and rugs. You can choose to use a carpet professional, rent a cleaning machine, or vacuum and spot-treat according to soil level.
What You Need:

Wallpaper divinity! Which is your fav?
I was so excited when I got a little surprise "e-troduction" in my inbox last week from Elli Popp. Their wallpaper is so luscious. I think my favorite design is Esmeralda's Reverie...but it's so tough to choose!
Oh yes, all orders place before the end of April get 20% off!
Foxy flowers?
Esmeralda's Reverie?
Crazy Ostrich?
Just Around Midnight?
Haiku?
Dede?
Butterfly Valley?
Marlene?
Bebe Palm?
Bebe?
Baroquette?
Most of these patterns come in 3 color options, and you can see those and more patterns at the Elli Popp site.
I'm liking wallpaper more and more these days...

A sad day - and a loss for the web
This morning I went to check on the Domino website and it was gone!!! This is devastating, as I wasn't finished collecting images! I've been in denial for so long. A moment of silence my friends.
