Here are some coffee table books that have grabbed my attention lately...For a great post about the following book visit Nest Egg
For those of you feeling crafty this weekend (myself included)
Okay this one is not for the coffee table but I think it would be great as a quick desk reference...
Do you all have any of these? Any others that I should check out? Have a great weekend!

Today I am wishing I was working from one of these offices.....
Now, if I had an office that nice I would definitely need a new phone. In real life I cannot have an iPhone due to my uncanny ability to drop my phone 52 times a day, every day. However, since I am dreaming let's pretend I am also getting an iPhone in addition to the office. This would be great because then I could use the Benjamin Moore Ben Color Capture App. This app lets you take a picture and then it will match colors in the pictures to actual paint colors. Give it a little shake and coordinating colors will pop up too.
Here is a little demo.....


Does anyone have this app? How is it?

Why stop with the tape on your pillows? Although this is a different type of tape it is the same idea....Via InStyle...I think?

The committee was meeting ALL night so I am going to start out with something short and sweet. I pulled this out of a magazine because it made me smile. As a child (and even an adult) this would have been my dream field trip- closets, organization, storage, clothes, shoes.....

There is nothing like a quick face lift, when it comes to pillows at least. Sometimes when clients want a quick change, or need a somewhat solid pillow but don't want it to be completely plain I will add a tape to the face.
Little designs add to a pillow can make a big difference...

We added a neutral trim to the front of this floral pillow for a client because we wanted to bring a little twist to a traditional fabric...
It doesn't have to be just pillows though, these chairs are inspiration for quick tape updates..
Love this slipcover from LEE. Em- I am thinking about you with this one....
MJ Trim is a great place to start when looking for a little something to add to pillows...


Of course it does not have to be a trim/braid/band, it can be ribbon too...

Which makes me think of this book, which brought me to this picture....

Which brought me to this, the cutest school house I have seen!
I know, somehow my post on quick fixes for pillows lead me to a cottage I adore....


What is your favorite quick fix?
