Have you heard of Wish magazine? From the publisher, "Wish magazine is the Canadian woman's Shopping List for Life, offering shortcuts, time-saving tips and the best deals and trends in fashion, beauty, food and home." I don't have access to a hard copy of it, and only recently discovered it even existed through Apt #11, a Flickr contact and fellow design nut. Wish does have a website though and on it you'll find lots of quick bites covering topics from styling to staging your nest. Here are a few helpful articles that you may find useful plus some pretty pictures to inspire you today. Enjoy!

The folding screen shown here behind the bed with wallpapered inserts is a great budget idea to add color and pattern and the cement block bookshelf is another good idea, especially when styled as nicely as this one! Refer to: 27 Designer Organizing and Home Staging Tips.

And finally, Bohemian Bedroom Styling and 6 Parisian Styling Tips. I just love the idea of bamboo picture frames (bamboo is slim not chunky) as shown in the bottom right photo, only in lacquered colors like sunshine yellow, black, white, or navy blue. I'm also liking that pink chandelier (shown further up), the things you can do to transform black wrought iron!
