You may be wondering why I’d love to own this house. It might not scream love to anyone else in the world, but to me it begs for someone to snatch it up and nurture it back to life.
Is anyone else dying to find a fixer-upper of their own? If so, check out an Hip House Girl’s Blog. She just bought a 1926 fixer-upper of her own!

I love this house. Peter and I are not moving and we’re not in the position to buy a house (yet), although I can’t help but look at some of the fabulous houses that are on the market right now. This one is a ways out of our price range for a starter home but I love the Victorian style.
Isn’t the delticate wood work absolutely swoon-worthy? And look at this porch. It’s fabulous!
Our first house will be much more of a fixer-upper but I’ll take this as inspiration any day. If you are in the market for a beautiful home in Grand Rapids, Michigan then check this one out.

I am in love with the wallpaper in this bathroom. It reminds me of an awning in a Parisian cafe. What an elegant way to unwind from a stressful day! I especially love the copper tub that accompanies the wallpaper. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tub like that. How beautifully unexpected. I only wonder–do you think the metal in the tub would get so hot that it would be uncomfortable on your bare back?

Peter and I are trying to quickly make some Halloween costumes, so for tonight, I will leave with this incredible before and after by Ruthie Sommers. Her eye for design is inspiring. I hate to say it, but I’m sure if I had seen the before piece for sale I would’ve walked right past it.
Head over to Apartment Therapy to see some more of her fabulous befores and afters.

recently happened across Jessica Hische’s website, Daily Drop Cap. Hische does her part to beautify the blogging world by posting an illustrative initial every working day. She’s already made it through the alphabet and now she’s heading back through it again. I don’t think the drop caps really fit our blogging style but they are a lot of fun to play around with.
It would be a fun idea to take one of her illustrations, blow it up, and frame it in your home or as part of a wedding decoration. Can anyone else imagine tables lettered with these beautiful illustrations rather than numbered? It seems very Anthropolgie-esque to me. What do you guys think of Jessica’s work?
Here are some some others just for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to check out her website.
