I was clicking around in my bookmarks and I came across the Bluelines blog (sniff) from the now closed Bluelines magazine (sniff, sniff). They still have a few house tours on the Martha Stewart site that were featured in the magazine. My all-time favorite was the tour of Joelle Hoverson's Brooklyn apartment (purl and purl patchwork in soho). I never get bored of looking at the photos. Her home has a homey, yet refined feel to it.
The purl and purl patchwork shops in Soho are just as lovely. I'm not a quilter but the shop makes me want to be!
Just thought you all needed a little reminder about this one. :)
I wish I had a storefront like that! I love the character!! And her home is lovely. I'm glad someone else collects soft animals like I do!!! ;)

I think it's appropriate to collect soft animals at any age!

I just stumbled across your blog today...and love it! You're one of my new faves. As for today's post: I 2nd the sad face regarding Blueprint magazine. My friend Christine used to work there (and also has a blog: mystylepill.com); it was such a fabulous magazine. And Purl SoHo...I'm not a quilter either, but I frequent their shop (I live in Manhattan). It's serious eye candy and great inspiration--they also have wonderful (and affordable) fabric too!

I like the warm neautrals in the living room. Looks like a relaxing space.

Love your blog. It reminds me of the Domino magazine I so miss! Loving the mix of vintage and modern.

Thank you, Allie! I love mystylepill.com! That is very cool that you know Christine. I get a ton of color inspiration when I get to visit Purl. You are very lucky to live in nyc. I miss it sooo.

warm, neutral, relaxing. Perfect words for that space! I agree.

Robin, Thank you so much for reading. I know we all miss Domino so much. There really is NO other magazine out there like it.

The living room design just works, I don't know how to explain it. Looks very cheerful, bright, and organized.
