A classic, inviting, and functional foyer design generally includes a bench or console with a mirror on the wall. These foyers share common elements: a wood bench/console and a large round mirror. It’s a great combo!
I adore Julia Leach‘s home in Los Angeles (as seen on Cup of Jo). I love homes like this one which is overflowing with books and art.
I have been doing what I can do avoid getting sick. I’ve upped my intake of tea and vitamin C, and I’ve been getting more sleep than usual. I’ve also bought a Costco-sized package of Ricola. I’m keeping them in a “candy jar” on my counter, so I’m easily reminded to take one to help my throat.
On another point, I took out these watercolour paints over Christmas, but I have yet to actually paint. Sometime soon, right?
I have yet to tire of white bathrooms with lots of marble in them. If you look through my blog archives, you’ll see that I have been featuring white, marble bathrooms since I began writing about design over 10 years ago.
Large slabs of marble mean there are few grout lines and a lot of continuity. Alternatively, classic rectangular marble tiles can be laid down in a herringbone pattern (see final image below) to add more interest to a space. In my home, I have marble herringbone in my foyer and marble counters in my kitchen.
1.News. What else is there to say about the devastation that we have seen? I encourage you to donate even $1 to support our friends in Australia and to learn about the people who lost their lives in the Iranian plane crash. So many people’s lives have been affected and so many will need support to move past the trauma in the future.
2. Fun. With so much bad news in the world, it’s nice to see moments like this. Apparently two grandsons wanted to prank their grandmother, but she had other plans!
3. Advice. 30 rules for living well.
4. Video. Blow torch and hair dryer popcorn. I won’t admit how many times I watched this, but it was more than once!
5. TV. I finished watching season 3 of the The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I just loved it!
