Design Online

If you're looking for great, FREE sources for design, fashion and entertaining inspiration, you're in luck. In the past year, online magazines (web-zines or e-zines) has grown tremendously.  I, for one, am a huge fan.  These magazines are economical (most of them require no monetary subscription), convenient (items showcased often have a direct link to locate them online), and easy (no more clipping out ideas from magazines and filing them in my binders--now I just save an electronic file).

In case you're unfamiliar with the e-zine world, I'll share with you a few that you should check out. 

Rue Magazine-Full of fashion, finds and design this is "your pathway to stylish living," as they so elegantly describe themselves.  They just launched their fourth issue yesterday.  And just like the initial three, it did not disappoint.  




High Gloss Magazine-A lifestyle magazine featuring interior design, fashion, entertaining and travel ideas.  This is a pretty new e-zine, showcasing its premier issue this year.  But don't let its age fool you; it's got some wonderful inspirations inside its "covers".




Lonny-Perhaps the forefather of the online design magazine craze, Lonny has set some high standards since its launch in October 2009.  Created by a photographer and a designer, this magazine never lacks in stunning visuals and tips on lifestyle and home decor.




Ivy & Piper- This Aussie-based mag is in its infancy, but has shown great promise in its first two publications.  A self-proclaimed "fashion for the home" web-zine, it has captured its readers with beautifully inspiring spaces and finds.



House of Fifty-This quarterly e-zine (the others mentioned are bimonthly) is set to launch in May of this year.  Founded by the creator of the blog Isabella and Max Rooms, House of Fifty's mission is bring you "ideas for inspired living"ranging from interior design to fashion to organizational tips to tasty dishes.  Although the premier issue isn't out for a couple of months, you can go ahead and sign up for your subscription and receive information and surprises leading up to the launch.

New Coffee Table

After more than a year of debate, I've finally decided on and ordered us a new coffee table! As mentioned here , there were several styles I was considering.  However, in the end the tufted ottoman came out on top.  Not only was it versatile, so it can be used for years to come, but it also will be good for when we have kiddos down the road.  I can't tell you how many people I know who have had to either remove their coffee tables for the safety of their kids' noggins or have had to add those tacky corner protectors.  I did not want to invest in a new piece only to have to stow it away down the road.  So this seemed to be the perfect solution.  And thanks to my Joss & Main membership, it turned out to be the perfect price too. I was all set to order a tufted ottoman from Ballard Designs.  I had already received a swatch sample of the fabric I selected and everything.  But a few days later, I got a notification from Joss & Main of a sale event called The Tufted C

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the office sans the Fr

A Heart

Lately, baby prep has been on the forefront of my mind.  Getting the nursery ready, packing the hospital bag, washing all of her clothes, setting up a pediatrician and the list goes on.  Sometimes I have to step away from it all (literally and mentally) so as not to get overwhelmed.  I put this pressure on myself to get it all done and done right.  I tell myself that all of these things are so necessary for her to be a good place upon her entrance to the world. Sure cute, clean outfits and a nice room are nice things for your child to have, but how lost I can get in the worldly things.  More than anything else, I know that the best thing I can give my daughter is a great example of a good heart.  A heart that empathizes and serves.  A heart that loves the Lord and longs for his relationship. A heart that is thankful and joyful even on the worst days. It's a frightening thing to ask myself "Will she learn this from you?  Will you be able to be that example?"  That carr
