GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

The magazine serial is a lost art form these days. With websites, Twitter, moment-by-moment news updates, and yes, blogs, who can be expected to remember what happened yesterday, much less in last month's magazine? But serials used to be the lifeblood of magazines and newspapers; Charles Dickens published many of his stories in serial fashion, and crowds would throng the docks in America for the delivery of the latest installment of his stories from London. So kudos to - of all publications - a home decor magazine for experimenting again with the serial. House Beautiful's monthly installments of Frances Schultz's East Hampton's cottage makeover are as charming as the house itself. Here are a few snaps from this month's update (more here for last month's living room makeover).

Ms. Schultz's challenge was to combine two small bedrooms into a pint-sized master suite:

The new study includes work space and a cozy spot for guests. The lacquered blue walls add light and dimension to a small space.

Turquoise Accessories

I need to purchase a turquoise/teal/aqua (somewhere in that shade) accessory for an upcoming family photo. We are all trying to coordinate. I am wearing a simple black dress. Which of these necklaces do you like better? After hours of searching stores and browsing Etsy, these are the finalists.

Custom Baby Blankets

I'm a big fan of modern blogs (I am the Modern Mormon Mom after all). I just discovered Modern Parents Messy Kids which is a site full of resources for playful families. Isn't this custom baby blanket adorable?

Modern Floral Light Fixtures

Who knew Target had such hip home furnishing?

You can also check out the lighting selection at Ikea. There prices are very reasonable, but the products usually all require some assembly.

TWEEN'SPERATION

Apropos of nothing, I was wandering around the Pottery Barn Teen website the other day, and marveling at all the great designs they have - an adult would envy this bedroom:

Coraline Canopy Bed, $999 +

The furniture leans toward country chic, but I loved this little Minnie Stool, also available in blue and green, at $299.

Mother nature should be so lucky - how cute is this rug? Also in blue, black, and pink, starting at $299.

Acrylic spruces up a classic fixture; De-Lit Chandelier with ribbon trim shades, $159.

Calling Mary Mcdonald... Upholstered Headboard, $299 +, in a variety of patterns.

A hint of chinoiserie in white or Tiffany blue, the Pop Up Storage Bedside Table, $199.

Zig zag goes to Palm Beach. Zig Zag pillow covers, $12.99.

Monogram Pillow

One of my super stylish friends posts her crafty ideas on Gracie Lou's Quilt Shoppe. Every Tuesday a new tutorial is posted. Last week she posted a tutorial for stuffed owls (thanks again for the inspiration) and previouly she posted a tutorial for this fun monogrammed pillow.

 There are so many projects I want to do...and so little time.

MAGIC BY MARCHESA

Design house Marchesa has long been like the runner-up for best supporting actress:  stunning and never quite taken seriously. For years, Marchesa's creations have been passed over as so much eye candy. Stars love the gowns, but the fashion elite have been much more reserved ...Marchesa is Hollywood courted, but never haute couture. However, a few forays into Indie style (body suits?) and their long term staying power may finally win Marchesa the Oscar. And based on the Spring 2011 collection, I think it's time to say, "the envelope please!"

Stuffed Owl Tutorial

Via How About Orange, I found this simple tutorial from Hammer & Thread on how to make super fun stuffed owls. You could make these in a variety of fabric choices to match your decor, or to customize for a boy or girl.

Thanks for the inspiration Nakole!
