What A Way To Start The Day!

I sat down to do a little morning blogging, and found this great sneak peek from Design Sponge. I would love to start every day in this fresh and fun bathroom. The vanity is so creative and practical too.

OOOh!

I love, love, love this room! The wall color and bookcases are wonderful. This is a Design Sponge sneak peek, of Jenifer Altman's home.

Madeline Weinrib Rugs.

The red "Emma" rug was listed on Design Sponge's rug roundup. It is made by Madeline Weinrib, along with the other rugs pictured. I think if I could make the perfect rugs for myself, they would look just like these.

Houston Guide on Design Sponge

I'm very excited about the Houston Guide on Design Sponge...written by yours truly. Finally, I could put all my shopping knowledge to good use :) I would also like to say thanks to Courtney for helping with the Heights' restaurants. That is her turf, so I knew she would be a good person to ask. Anyway, you can see the guide (Here).

A Little bit of Satisfaction-Sheila Bridges on Design Sponge

How is this for a coincidence? Right after my gripe session about "Trading Spaces", and wishing for better design on televion; I find Sheila Bridges on Design Sponge.
Sheila had one of the few programs that really portrayed what good design can be. She gives a great interview on D.S., and come to find out she has a blog of her own, called The Nestmaker.

Sheila's blog is streamlined and smart. She answers questions from readers, invites guest bloggers, has a monthly newsletter, and even has informative videos. Although, television has become a poor source for the latest in design, we have great blogs look to for inspiration. Maybe, I should watch less t.v.

Speaking of great designers, check out Paloma's article about her husband's encounter with Nate Berkus!!! Wow!
