I have seen some pretty images (that I think I _can_ share).
Love this sofa from Anthropology. Unfortunately it’s no longer available, but I love the modern meets classic design. And, of course, green!
And speaking of green, I’m totally loving these amazing “Beetle” chairs from Conran’s in the UK. They come in table and counter heights and in several different jewel tone colors.
I love a great mix of style and function and these cabinets featured in Midwest Living magazine are a great example. Love, love the little pullout shelf (with cute little supports) when you need a little extra surface space.
I also wanted to share that I’m re-introducing my E-Design service (aka Virtual Interior Design). I’m currently working on the materials and service offerings, but am looking at doing offerings that include a design plan for an entire room (or rooms, of course) and also how to pull together a room to make it complete for those who have a lot of what they need but can’t figure out how to make it all work, and a floorplan offering for those who just need help with space and functionality – which is the bedrock of any design plan. So, more on that soon!
Oh, the photo at the top is one I just came across in my archives of a project I did several years ago. These were some of my favorite pillows I handmade for a client for the master bedroom of their seaside home here on the South Shore in Massachusetts. Coastal living at its best!
Have a great weekend everyone!
I am so sorry this happened to you. I have heard it several times from other bloggers. I have often wondered how people get away with this. Since I am not sure what the criteria is for being able to use others’ photos, so I just don’t anymore. If one were to stop to request permission every time you use a photo to illustrate a point, there would be no time at all to write posts because you would be spending all the time chasing down sources. At any rate, I do enjoy your blog.
Thanks so much Ellen! Basically, the criteria is that all photos require permission. But figuring out that can be a can of worms. Oh well!
That’s really sad, Linda, when we know how many use photos all the time with impunity. This blogger told her story last year, very similar circumstances, and she explains what “fair use” really means. I always thought if you were using photos to inspire, educate or critique, it was okay as long as you provided attribution… a big no-no.
