The ladies over at moggit absolutely crack me up. They find ridiculious design/decor and make fun of it in a snarky way. They really are "the guilty pleasure of the decorating world."

Have a Happy Halloween Weekend everyone!!!

This park is home design. Tham and Videgard, Swedish Architecture Firm has successfully completed a project called House Garden. This house was built on an area 180 meters square in Viksberg, Sweden.

The owner wants a beautiful garden as part of their home, and the reason why they decided to move from their duplex apartment in central Stockholm to the rural location in the lake Mälaren. To meet customer needs, we propose a house conceived as an integrated vertical additions to the garden, where indoor and outdoor space gradually mingle and interact.
Triangular foot print is the result of a steep slope diagonally across the site. With one of the long facade facing south, we also managed to eliminate the pure north façade. This further helps the idea of climbing plants on trellises oversized high that covered most of the windows so that by the time they will be hidden in the greenery.
A double height winter garden also serves as a natural pre-heating fresh air. Roof terrace offers views of a very long above the nearby hills over the lake Mälaren. Construction is all wood, both structure and finish.

Love, love, love these original photographs digitally mixed with paint. Pole Rouge by Lobokoff is available at Etsy for $30 per square and signed! Mix and match your favorites.

Target has this very sleek looking (and functional may I add) chair that unfolds into a twin sleeper. The sleeper lounge chair is dark grey, very urban looking and only $150 - which is cheap for an oversized chair, let alone one that acts as a bed!

Ohhh, I'm seeing this gorgeous blue chandy in a room with crisp white walls and vibrant colored artwork...

ORANGE. It brings to the mind fall and pumpkins, perfect for an October topic. While a comforting color, it can be tricky to use, especially as a predominant hue in a room. How do you do that tastefully you ask? Here are some tips when using orange and inspiration to get you started.

Some tips when decorating with orange...
*Use shade variations of orange in one room

*Start with an accent wall, tie a matching or complimentary shade of orange in the curtain fabric, upholstery, or accent pieces.

*Good complementary colors to add to your orange room are teal, purple, brown, and pinks (as shown below - orange and fuchsia are a very striking combination!)
