Some gallery walls by photographer Kristofer Johnsson; I particularly like the grid that combines different sizes frames to make one large rectangle. Lots more of Johnsson’s work via Desire to Inspire.

I just got lost in the virtual house tour of the gallery/museum Kettle’s Yard.
This was my favorite detail:
One of the founding principles of Kettle’s Yard is the significance of natural objects as tokens of the Divine perceptible in everyday life. In 1958 Jim arranged these near-spherical pebbles in a spiral resembling a mandala, the Buddhist ritual figure that serves as an object of contemplation and representation of the universe.
Throughout his life Jim collected shells, pebbles, bones and other natural objects. This was no casual activity. As he wrote, ‘we find a perfect pebble once in a generation and once in a continent … Perfection in nature varies for each person – it is something created between the thing experienced and the person experiencing. Yet I know when I meet perfection immediately. I will discard 10,000 pebbles in my search for one whose outward shape exactly balances my idea of what a pebble is, and I do not believe that this discarding is arbitrary – we all know by some unwritten law what is a well-shaped egg.’

Maybe it was the snow or the sudden cold snap, but, I’m suddenly really looking forward to the holidays this year. Cookies and lights and greenery and being together.

I could spend my whole life in this Union Square loft. All those books and that cozy reading nook. Found via 16 House. Originally posted on At Casa.

<<1>> Blue walls, mercury lamps, old wood. Oh, and vintage postcards. Country Living had me at hello.
I’m spending lots of time on Pinterest these days. I only wish that Google Reader and Pinterest could make a beautiful baby together.
<<2>> I can never get my cutting boards to look so well aged. Love the faucet, the window and the rug.
<<3>> This is a kitchen to feed an army! Side by side ranges! Kind of like the Downtown Abbey kitchens, modernized!
<<4>> I love this color scheme for a boys room.

Eleanor Lanahan and John Douglas, Vermont artists, built an addition with a bridge to maintain their private space while living together.
This is fantastic. What married person hasn’t dreamed of this situation at some point?

This is the sort of room I plan to grow old in; comfortable and not too proper; full of books and the spoils of a life well lived. I love the WASPY touches; the dogs, the bar, the eagle mirror.

Loving the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living. This chic pop of paint on the edge of the door would be so easy and a fun detail.

I’m thoroughly charmed by Keith McNally’s summerhouse on Martha’s Vineyard. See the entire house at Elle Decor. PS remember McNally’s dreamy kitchen?
