I first discovered the 10 Cent Designer, Lori Andrews, on flickr about a year ago; and was totally inspired. Her rooms are bright, modern, and usually have a quirky twist. I realized I have never mentioned her on my blog, what a crime.
These next ones are from her own home.
Links
I'm feeling a little lazy on this Friday morning, so here are some links I've been loving around the design blog world recently.
Kevin Sharkey's apartment featured on Apartment Therapy, including his unbelievable closet pictured above.
Michelle's cute and budget friendly bathroom makeover. That ceiling is amazing.
Cute and creative tiny birthday party. I am definitely game for anything that gives me an excuse to eat miniature food.
I would never have the patience, but this painted wallpaper is pretty impressive.
And completely not related to design, this video is pretty much my favorite thing that has ever been on the internet, ever.

Entryway Light
My entryway is in dire need of a new light. The current one is from the previous owner, it's too small and too ugly.
Here are some lights I am eyeing as possibilities to replace it.
Pottery Barn - $199
Maybe a little too rustic for my house.
1 Stop Lighting - $95
I like the shape and the price, but I'm afraid it might look cheap in person.
Home Depot - $229
Pretty, but do I want to spend that much?
Top: Home Depot - $153, Bottom: Lamps Plus - $197
These last two are probably my favorites. I like the Lamps Plus one more, but it is a little smaller than the Home Depot version (pictures are not to scale), and more expensive. Decisons, decisions.
And for good measure, one of my most favorite entryways and entryway lights of all time - the work of Lauren from Pure Style Home.

Room Board : Living Room
Here is a room board I did recently for a client who had a very large living room to fill.
One of my favorite finds from this room board is the anchor pillow. It's from Bed, Bath, and Beyond; and is only $20!
If you'd like a room board, e-mail me for more info!

Clean
I'm feeling drawn to really clean and simple rooms lately. Maybe it's because I wish I was still relaxing in a hotel room.

Vacation
I'm off to San Diego for the weekend, see you on Monday!
While we're there, I'm hoping to drag Zach to some decor shops featured in Grace's San Diego Design Guide.

Kitchen Art
My friend Malia is wanting to make some changes to her kitchen, so today I was browsing some artwork for her - and decided to share my finds with all of you too! All of these prints are affordable and I think would look great in any kitchen.

Nurseries
Loving these two nursery designs that have popped up in the blog world recently. And both were done on a budget!
Penelope's Nursery by Melissa.
James' nursery at The Scoop.
Totally dying over that paint color.
