Here is some fabulous images found on Southern Living’s website.



Southern Living Magazine has gotten a face lift. I was able to preview the new look and it looks great! I wanted to try about every recipe that I saw. Its wonderful to see a mature magazine like Southern Living get a fresh new look.

Jill Crawford….

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Jill Crawford is a LA based interior designer and graphic artist. (Read more here.) Her work does not just end with redoing spaces. She has a talent for creating gorgeous murals. Her murals started a number of years ago when she had a short-term loft rental in Tribeca (NYC). She had these massive white walls and didn’t want to spend a fortune on art since she would be moving out in 6 months, so she painted the murals directly on the walls. Then other people started wanting them too. All of her murals are painted, but there are different techniques. She currently working up wallpaper designs based on the murals, which will be available on Wallpapers To Go sometime in the next few months. Amazing work Jill!!!!!

I love these pieces but….

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Have you have ever bought something or received something that you absolutely loved but then couldn’t decide where it should go in your home? Well that is my predicament. I adore this tray that I bought at a antique sale and love love the pair of floral prints given to me by a good friend but I cannot decide where there homes should be. Without really knowing my space does anyone have any ideas?

On a funny note…

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Recently I have noticed a few misspellings of Simply Grove on some sites and blogs which please don’t think I take offense to this. I find it rather funny.
The first one I noticed was Simply Groove. It made me feel very groovy. And then there was Simply Gruve which I’m not sure how you would even pronounce that? But the best one so far is Simply Glove. Yes! I am simply a glove!! I think its clear that I need to post about a glove or gloves or how to incorporate gloves into design….you think? Nice:)
Anyhow, please check back next week for a super great Giveaway and ofcourse some more {Style Tests} and possibly a fantastic Take a Look.
I hope you all have a great April weekend! God Bless.
Love this wall via haus maus.
Fun weekend project via {this is glamorous}.

Also, enter this fun Giveaway for a fabulous Apron.
