Fabien of the online decal and poster shop Harmonie Intérieure sent us a link to photos of his beautiful home in the country side of Auvergne, France (taken by his friend Denis Pourcher) and I wanted to share them with y'all. ( Thanks Fabien! )

Leila emailed us some photos of her ultra-gorgeous, ultra-glam, ultra-funky loft and here's what she had to say: I always fantasized about sending you guys pics of my apartment when I finished decorating it, never thought it would take over two years. I have a beautiful loft in Brooklyn but it has this windowless room that I couldn't figure out. Basically I went back and forth between wanting a guest room and wanting a home office. Well in February I got laid off from my corporate fashion job and was given a nice severance. My dream has always been to have my own line so that's what I'm doing. Made the office decision easy!

It's been a pretty rough week for me. My mom has been in the hospital since Monday and luckily she's ok (relatively). Despite this being a crappy week, a ray of sunshine plopped itself into my inbox when Alice Jane sent along some photos she had promised me. Alice Jane, a Canadian now living in Amsterdam, recently renovated some rooms in her home and had a professional photographer take some unbelievable photos of her new spaces. I absolutely adore what she's done to her home so far, and the photos show all the wonderful touches she's included. Alice Jane added some descriptions to her email which I will include below. I've got to start with the kitchen, as it is BY FAR my favourite room. - The kitchen -- The man you see in one of the pictures is Dion Roosen of Timmerbedrijf Roosen.
