The NY Times today has
an article on The Selby. You probably heard of the site. It's about real people in their homes--some famous, some not. The article also went on to discuss how people can relate more to "real places" than professionally decked up places frequently featured in decor magazines, which contributes to their ever growing popularity.
We love the Selby too but in a way, it's like watching Rachel Ray cooks vs a professional chef. There is no competition! Magazines offer beautifully shot, gorgeous decor that we can fantasize about. We don't want to look at houses that look just like ours, for god's sake. For example, look at the image below from Homebodies, one of the blogs mentioned:
We want our decorating magazines back! We miss them, terribly.

We are loving this new chandelier from Barbara Cosgrove. It's so chic, don't you think?
The chandelier is priced at $925 including shipping.
The shades can also be replaced with parchment shades. The best thing is, it can be painted with any Benjamin Moore paint color. How clever!
You can find this chandelier in our
Barbara Cosgrove Lamps section.

When I first saw this den designed by
Annie Ballantine Designs (straight out of Minneapolis, yay!) I was immediately taken with the fabulous Roman shades. Not only that whimsical fabric (by
Cowtan & Tout), but the curved detail and beautiful trim at the base. Of course the wall color (Benjamin Moore Affinity “Azores” AF-495) only makes it that much better! Ooh, and that ottoman...love! Check out Annie's site
here, but for more good stuff head over to her
blog!

Talk about a lucky girl! Thanks to
Sweet Home Style, I didn't miss seeing this adorable space that
Apartment Therapy featured belonging to Mary, who is now a freshman in college. When she was young she never wanted to sleep in her own bed. As a solution, her mom and aunt decided to build her this special little sleeping nook for her 8th birthday. Even though the room has a childish feel, she says she never grew out of it. Understandably Mary was recently devastated to learn her parents were selling her childhood home, but was comforted knowing that the family moving in had two little girls who were mesmerized by the beautiful and cozy room. I don't blame them...it's truly mesmerizing, isn't it? Love those floors and ceiling too!

I was delighted to find this cute cottage on
sfgirlbybay! Another gem from
Light Locations, this little summerhouse is situated on a pond in the Isle of Wight. Ever since I was little I've wanted my own little secluded cottage in the woods, just waiting for me to escape to. This one is
perfect! View more pics
