Photo Inspiration

Sometimes the best way to inspire yourself to write is to keep a hoard of images that are unique and intriguing. One of my favorite places to go is Apartment Therapy. Check this stuff out.

I would love to have high ceilings like this. And I would fill them with books just like this person. I love the wallpaper underneath the shelves.

Large windows that let in lots of light. A green background and lots of wood. An ideal place to write or get lost in a book.

I don't need it, but I WANT IT! Kenneth Cobonpue furniture

I think I might have posted on this furniture before, but apartment therapy had it up on their site and that same guttural urge returned to me. I really like this furniture!!! I want the bed and couch for the house on my private island.

I don't need it, but I WANT IT! Chalkboard paint

I really like this chalkboard paint idea. I think it might be my literary spirit. What do you think, tacky or cool? Would you do this in your living room?

Porn for Yuppies

Boyan always gets on my case for looking at Apartments on Craigslist even when we are a. not going to be moving anytime soon and b. could never afford them. I can't help but look and imagine what life would be like in these spaces (as you can see) or the design possibilities not yet explored.

Well, today I found out I'm not the only one. This site, apartmenttherapy.com, which people in the know call "Porn for Yuppies," exhibits all kinds of wonderful places and spaces. Now, I don't know if I consider myself a "yuppie" but this stuff does turn me on. Not in a sexual way--but definitely in a lustful way. Take look for yourself.


Gramercy, New York


(I call this one Britta's room)


This one belonged to a gay couple in Chicago

They also have slideshows of some fab places like this one. And this one.

Furniture really does it for me too. Especially when Britta sends me stuff like this.



Oh fabulous furniture and apartments...why do you torture me so!
