Can you tell we're on a bit of a succulent kick lately? If you have one of those awkward balconies that isn't quite wide enough for a chair but still deserves some attention, why not emulate this look...

Flickr Finds: Skinnylaminx's Couchscape

Sometimes a sunny spot inside is a perfectly adequate substitute for the luxurious outdoor living rooms we're seeing in every magazine and catalog. This "couchscape" of colorful pillows calls to us....

Flickr Finds: Potted Succulent Garden

Flickr Finds: Candles in the Garden

Candlelight against lush green foliage is always a little magical, and we usually see it used on a table top or along a garden pathway. We were intrigued by this variation, which sees slim, birthday...

Flickr Finds: A Simple Outdoor Space

Flickr Finds: Cigar Box Planters

This inviting patio caught our eye with an intriguing little detail: each sitting atop a tiled and a wrought-iron garden stool, two cigar boxes used as planters. They look like little jack-in-the-bo...

Flickr Finds: Spare Room

Flickr Finds: Media Shelf Room Divider

Flickr Finds: A Simple, Bright Bathroom

It's probably just us, but we might get a little freaked out by a bathroom with two large windows in it, for privacy reasons (we know, curtains, shades, but still). But the upside is a spot to get r...

Flickr Finds: *lalaurie's "Hobbies Room"

click thumbnails for larger pics Craft spaces have a special appeal: while computer work stations tend to shine when they are spare and uncluttered, the workspace of the crafter is most awesome when...

Flickr Finds: Small Portland Kitchen
