Love these images from the last issue of Matchbook Magazine (my newest obsession). Of course you all know how much I swoon over built-in bookshelves. But isn’t the outfit just the sweetest too? Looks like the perfect weekend to me!
Speaking of weekends, and books for that matter… I plan on organizing my reading list for the summer. I just finished Garrison Keillor’s Pontoon. If you love Keillor, you’ll like it.
Here’s a few I’m hoping to ...

My love for built-in bookshelves is well documented (just try searching my archives for “built-in”). I love books in a home – a house without a few packed shelves feels odd to me. While renters or those on a budget can fake the look with Ikea or other basic shelving, there’s nothing like a wall full of built-ins – even better if there is a ladder required. I’ve been saving these ones up ...
As a Martha-wanna-be I’m always interested to see the newest and greatest info that comes about about modern and urban homemaking. While I’m infatuated with the idea of moving to an island somewhere and having a little farm, the truth is that it may be many years before that happens, if ever. For now I’m living the twenty’s life – renting and making do with a less-than-ideal kitchen, a shortage on storage space, and (on ...
You guys probably know by now my love for built-in bookshelves. After all, I’ve blogged about them here, here, here, and here. And I know there are a good chunk of you who share my obsession. Go ahead and drool. I won’t tell.

Just finished flipping through my issue of Country Living that arrived today (I always do a good flip-through before settling into the articles I want to linger on) and just adored this photo of a simple bright kitchen. My favorite part? The antique cutting boards. I love how their warm patina looks against the stark white walls. Don’t they just make you want to whip out a loaf of oven-warm french bread and cut through ...
Loving this series by photographer Laurie Rubin. As a bonafide bookworm, one of my favorite things to do is find a comfy spot and check out my bookshelves. I can stare at the titles for a good long time (obviously this only happens when I have a lot of time on my hands). I just think books are so pretty, and you can tell so much about a person by their bookshelves. I just loved ...
Am I the only person who thinks that Thursdays are just the worst? Wednesdays are typically busy but since they are the “mid-point” we start thinking that the worst is over and that we’re well on the way to the weekend. Not so. Dang Thursday just pops up out of no where. Did you ever notice that Thursday is the typical meeting day? People always schedule meetings for Thursday. It’s weird.
In anycase, this post is ...

Head over to Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle where Jackie picked my brain over what titles I’m dying to put on my shelves.
Have you read anything fabulous lately? Please share! I think next on my list is “Julie and Julia”.
Check back again later because I have more in store for you today!
Unrelated, but one of my fave photos from our Hawaii trip in 2006.
Readers,
How’s your week going? I’m getting sick but I’ve also been reading a lot and getting my apartment in shape, so that’s good.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I want my life to look when I am old and look back to reflect. And thinking about what in my life gives me joy currently. And it’s become abysmally clear that I ...
Hey everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. The weather was so nice here. Ryan and I had a great time wandering around Fremont and Wallingford on Saturday. The view of the city from Gasworks Park is so beautiful, and on a clear day like Saturday it’s absolutely spectacular (non-Seattlites would recognize this from “Ten Things I Hate About You” when they go paintballing. Not actually a paintball place, just a park).
I wanted to thank ...
