As an apartment dweller myself, I am always intrigued by what designers come up with to create a stylish yet functional living space when working within a small foot print. This morning I was going about my usual blog stalking when I saw Philip Mitchell‘s kitchen on The Zhush. I had torn out a photo read more…
Hello 2012
Happy 1st Monday of the year! I don’t know about you guys, but 2011 is a tough act to follow in my book. Here are some shots from our New Years dinner at Mom and Dad’s house.
Happy New Year!
