Happy Friday - bright and cheerful spaces!

The sky is gloomy and foreboding here in Maryland, so I've decided to bring on some "virtual" sunshine.

Mmm...fresh produce.  There's no better feeling than cooking dinner using fresh veggies you bought at the local farmers market.  My parents sell the veggies and lamb they grow at their farm, Chestnut Creek Farm, in Carroll County, Maryland every Saturday.  They work full time jobs than spend every night and weekend working out in the gardens.  (It'd be awesome if you gave them a little love by Liking their farm page on facebook!)

Thanks guys and have a great weekend!

Gorgeous home office and organization inspiration

I have a feeling after looking at these photos that I'll be decorating my office more than working in it today!


This wall was painted with a magnetic paint

Too small for me but I think it's helpful to have a little surface in the kitchen dedicated to writing or a laptop for looking up recipes - too many times has muffin batter ended up all over it.




yay! for storage you can hide with the swish of a curtain!

color coordinating can help create visual order

This is an amazing home office. I'd love to have a comfy place to sit and go through papers and magazines.
