Sometimes I'm looking online or in a magazine and I come across a space that really speaks to me. This was definitely the case with interior decorator  Lee Kleinhelter 's home in Atlanta.

To see more pictures of Lee's lovely home take a look { here }. Any amazing spaces that you would like to share? I would love to see. Hope all is well. xo, Ris

Hello there! I know.  I know. It's been soooooo long since we last spoke. The new job is kicking my arse.  Luckily I met my first big deadline and I now have time to devote to my 3rd child, StyleBurbia. There has been some progression on the house since we last spoke.

Here are a few of the pretty things that I have been looking at to keep my mind off of the stressful stuff. Deep Breath! :) There is a guest bathroom off of our kitchen. I was thinking something like this would be MAJOR! Image from Town Also, loving this bathroom.  By the way, this is tile. Not wallpaper, tile! Amazing, huh? New Ravenna Mosaics I love all of New Ravenna's ikat collection . I can envision any of these in my guest bathroom. Love this Dining Room. Can you say amazing dinner parties?

HAPPY FRIDAY! I was searching through houzz.com for some inspiration for the new kitchen/sun room (See my previous post here ).  There are SO many images.  I included a few below for your viewing pleasure.  ;)  I love finding ideas there and on pinterest.com  (perhaps I should be honest and tell you that I am OBSESSED).  When you need ideas, what sites do you visit? What magazines do you read? To see more of my kitchen visions, check out my board on Pinterest called White Kitchen .  Here's to a weekend filled with much inspiration and many ideas.
