I discovered Lee Mathews while looking at Inside Out Magazine. I like a company that will show interesting objects in a catalog rather that showcasing only their product. The inspitation behind the clothing makes it more interesting.

like her belt

Love, love, love this fabric and that is saying a lot for a non floral print dress girl. The rust, gray on beige and the scale make all the difference. I do not know if I would wear the dress or just hang it on the wall.

I Could Live Here

Of course, Photographer Anita Calero would have to move from her West Chelsea loft first.

I fell in love with this bedroom last week and was not able to retrace my steps to find it. So what a delight when I found the entire space on Loft Life.

This room has it all: The height of the room doesn't hurt, the wall with the blackboard headboard, pair of portraits, a collection of tortoise shells, red and gold pillows, that industrial lamp...

Mid century modern is not my style, but who could help liking this room; the open space, the light, fabric on the backs of chairs and sofas, the colors, books, tables with interesting objects artfully placed on them, beautiful legs on the tables by the windows.

Poetry of Words

Valley of the Three Forks of the Wolf is so poetic sounding.

It is the birthplace of Sgt. Alvin York who was a WWI hero who was made more famous by the film "Sergeant York" in which he was portrayed by Gary Cooper.
