Let the talented photographer, Nato Welton whisk you away to his magical land today, one that may not always in our reality but is certainly alive in our dreams… which is why we’re so drawn in, yes? This work space, a gorgeous necklace of pink ribbon and dainty charms, fresh raspberry pie, breakfast with a friend… brilliant.
Can you imagine enjoying your crossiant only to see a tiny guest had fluttered through the window, landing on your butter knife? These photographs are beautiful, but I’ve given you only a glimpse of what Nato can do. Please view hius online portfolio to enjoy dozens more. Each photo tells a beautiful tale if you look closely and allow your imagination to wander…

I thought for a moment we’d escape to the The Netherlands to catch a glimpse of the work and home of illustrator Myrte de Zeeuw, who is obsessed with birds. Online, Myrte is also known as Mirthquake in case you’ve seen her during your web travels – she has an etsy shop and a blog.
Myrte and her boyfriend renovated an older home which meant new windows, new plumbing, and endless amounts of time fixing things up, room by room and like all the rest of us her home is a work in process. I really cannot imagine another way to live though — I can never call my home “finished”, I wouldn’t want to, the process is organic and special to me as I imagine it is for Myrte and those of you reading.
I like this grouping of frames, it’s challenging to hang so many as perfectly as this – nice job Myrte!
I’m drooling over these vintage 30s Belgium tiles in her foyer that she found during her travels. I would never replace them, not in a million years! I’m so glad to learn that Myrte feels the same way.
The blues, yellows, greens and grays in her home really appeal to me as does the array of pattern and style — I like mixing patterns so I appreciate what Myrte is going for here. Her dining room chairs are so pretty, she reupholstered them herself (and provides a tutorial here) with Heather Bailey fabrics. She also has a lovely kitchen, I like that there’s direct access to the outdoors through a gorgeous glass doorway. And just look at all of those transom windows — are you not dying to have the same in your home? Oh my! They allow so much light in and look so, so pretty. And don’t miss the William Morris wallpaper in the bedroom, very Victorian.
Thank you Myrte for writing to me and for sharing a peek of your home with us. If you would like to view more photos of her home please visit her home set on Flickr.

This is most certainly one of those posts where most of us will feel just a wee bit out of our league… but let’s indulge in the luxury of German Nymphenburg porcelain for a moment, shall we? Nymphenburg just launched a website for the USA and upon viewing it I decided that it’s much like taking a leisurely stroll through a museym — only you can purchase and own everything around you.
Some of the pieces are more affordable than others though; I can’t imagine spending thousands on a single Hella Jongerius dish (oh but I’d do anything to own the fawn or the bird), but I certainly respect and appreciate the perfection of these exquisite pieces as each piece is thrown, cast and decorated by hand and then marked by its maker, some embellish the pieces with gold. I also imagine an assorted collection of plates adorning my dining room wall — what a prized possession that would be, huh? Dreamy!

You may find this pretty inspirational, especially to watch on your lunch break today — I sure did! I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 and so I was recently browsing the Adobe website and came across such an interesting page that I never knew existed. It’s called “Discover Your Shortcut to Brilliant” and is a section of the Adobe site where they spotlight several companies that use their software and show photos and feature videos taking us behind-the-scenes (ooooo! ahhhhh!) to show some of the projects they’re working on. I particularly enjoyed the SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) and Anthropologie spotlights.
It was fun to check out Anthro’s corporate offices (just a glimpse but still) and to see what they’re working on… always inspirational to watch others ‘in process’ I think… I hope that you enjoy this page and all the clicking around you’ll no doubt do, have fun!
