Orange You Lucky and The Lost Art of Matches

Pre-warning: Take anything you might have cooking off the stove.  You won't be back for awhile.

I always mean to share my fav blogs with you guys, but convince myself that you're most likely looking at the same stuff already.  Orange You Lucky!  is one of my all-time favs.  I love Helen's quick wit and her voracious design appetite - it's like she's never not looking for things.  On top of that, she's a very active/successful designer and a mom - now, if only she'd add "life coach to Christi" to her masthead... Anyway, this "Lighters Are Overrated" post is lovely and interesting and serves as great color inspiration.  Enjoy!

Making It Lovely

A really cool girl I know (you know who you are) mentioned Making It Lovely blog a few posts back and I thought I'd do a full-on post about Nicole and her husband, Brandon's, wonderful bungalow.  I first saw her home on Apartment Therapy, although I've been a fan of her creative work (Pink Loves Brown) for awhile.  Nicole has an eye for all the goodies and her home is so warm and welcoming.   Check out her blog, her shop and don't you dare miss her Flickr page of reader favs.  You can kiss me and thank me later, dolls!
