Beautiful outdoor spaces

We are lucky here in the Boston area to have a magnificent shop providing great outdoor space inspiration.  Winston Flowers is known for modern design and impeccable taste.  A Buddha head sculpture in the garden is striking!  Here's a peak:

What's new from Thomas Paul?

Thomas Paul is one of my favorites and I'm still determined to get my hands on the Octopus Shower Curtain - it's the inspiration for my complete bathroom update!  But I just got an email from Design Public {love} and they've got new Thomas Paul goodies.  Of course, I had to check it out and here's a glimpse:

At the door and a big amount of magical

Doors that are flooded with light are a big amount of magical.  I want a fabulous door.  Where should I start?  Maybe not Home Depot.

Spring is in the wool

I made these flowers and I love the way they came out!  I put them in moss and a little dirt.

Pillows

It's not hard to find pillows, but it can be tricky finding really fabulous pillows.  Prices can range from outrageous and we-need-to-sell-the-kids to not so bad.  I have a theory that I could pick up a few inexpensive pillows at Marshalls or TJ Maxx and dress them up with trim or pompoms (a quick and thrifty DIY project) but it hasn't exactly happened yet.  But here's some great inspiration for that project.

Pictures of the IKEA PS Maskros Light

I am trying to decide what color to paint my dining room since I hung the IKEA Maskros light.  Right now I have a leftover circa 1989 teal green stripe (which coordinated with the mauve and teal wallpaper that was in the kitchen).  I have no doubt that it was smashing.... call-your-neighbor-over-to-see-fabulous.... when the previous owners hung it on the walls.  But it's time to go... and based on these photos, pale is the way to go.  Check it out in bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms and your basic party room:
