Happy {Labor Day} Weekend.

With this being Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer, the seasons are about to start changing. And with that a few things are getting rearranged around here as well.

I asked and you answered – Mad Props will now be included in my end-of-week Happy Weekend post. That means weekly roundups of goodness instead of monthly! It also means that the This Weekend: section of the post will be relocating itself to the Monday Goodness post. Got all that? Good.

And don’t forget to enter The Honey and Pig Shop giveaway before Tuesday morning at 9:00 CST! You have a change to win an adorably frilly hair piece.

Portrait Mugs.

The ultimate way to make sure no one ever steals your coffee cup again. Why? Well because your portrait is on it of course! House of Harriett handpaints them – cute or kooky, you decide.

Bodum Bistro Toaster.

Bodum’s new Bistro toaster is serious. It has adjustable slots and a built-in warming rack along with all the usuals we expect. I’d buy it just to be pretty counter candy though, the design is a spot on mix of retro and modern. I’ll take the white one, please!

Inviting Nook.

This room looks just like Saturday afternoon to me. Open windows, a stack of books and lots of light. I love the open airy feeling of this nook with hanging lanterns and a wall covered in art with ornate, monochromatic frames. I can just imagine myself curled up with a good book and a mug of coffee. And those really are the best rooms, aren’t they?

Crackery Crockery.

Castoff plates are one of my favorite re-purposed things. Crackery Crockery gives them new life by filling the cracks and chips with 24K gold, then embellishing them with hand-made enamel floral transfers that “grow” out of the damaged crack.

Classic Modern Office.

Where can I even begin? This office space has it all. The dark wood flooring with the striped rug, the credenza and the tabled desk. The romantic Baroque mirror paired with the modern pattern of the wallpaper. And that skylight setting everything awash in sunlight during the day. Completely and utterly inspiring.

Ambiguous Living Room.

My favorite thing about this room is that it’s really hard to discern whether a male or female lives here. It’s perfectly ambiguous and very well designed. The chocolate brown walls, the white Barcelona chairs and the accents with modern lines all come together to form the perfect end result. The shaggy throw is just the unexpected icing on the cake.
