 ...a perfectly colorful chair for lounging on the beach. Or even just on my fire escape.

Available at Anthropologie

 ...my friend's creative use of frames in her adorable Williamsburg apartment.

...as well as her fire escape balcony. (Like Nicole's, her mint is taking trying to take over the largest flower pot.) I think it's high time for my fire escape to get a green facelift!

...the dreamiest spot for a nap I've ever seen.

...this gorgeous new Jonathan Adler turquoise desk. I've been on the hunt for a while now for a desk or console to fill a void in my new bedroom and I'm head-over-heels in love with this one. (Although not, sadly, with the price tag.)

 ...a wine barrel turned flower planter. Those tiers, those colors! Do you think it would fit on my fire escape?

...a clever way to make frames personalized and use one of my favorite decorating tools, chalkboards.
