My kind of living room...

Apparently I need to find this Todd Yoggy, as everything I've seen seems to be exactly how I would want a room.  Victorian and traditional with hints of irreverence and modernity.  Wait, did I just describe me?

Found via the always inspiring Desire to Inspire.

A Modern Dose of Lighting...

I've been FOREVER on the look out for bedside lamps, and recently came across Modern Dose, a fabulous (albeit expensive) resource for chic, eclectic, and modern home decor. 

How about a Macaw lamp? 

I would love this little guy on my writing desk, offering a bit of irreverance to my traditional scheme.

 Pineapple anyone? 

 (Why am I thinking of Desi Arnaz?)

Love this Tortoise Silver Bottle-Neck Lamp

Uma Lamp

And of course....

The Owl Lamp

THE Table

This find is 100% attributed to my sister, who sent me the link late last night in an email titled, "this belongs in your home." Well, I simply couldn't agree more!

Remember when the saint JUST said he wanted to put the computer screen (aka our TV) on the coffee table? Well, Teresa found this guy on flickr who combined the OFFI Mag Table with this mid-century modern coffee table!

I have no idea how much either of these pieces cost, but you can bet your boot-ay that i am not going to find out because in my 30(+5 months) years of life, I have discovered this adage:

Money Kills Dreams.
(you can embroider that onto a pillow)
