Keri Russell stepped out earlier this Spring with a casual hobo bag slung over one shoulder. The fabric for the bag was designed by one of my favorite Midwestern fabric mavens. Can you guess who designed the fabric for Keri's bag?
In case you haven't noticed, it's Spring! Isn't that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!? Yes, it is. So, it's time to lose a few pounds — and I'm not suggesting you get in shape for the beach.

Show off all of your home updates in my group on TeamSugar called Su Casa, where readers can share snapshots and stories related to home decorating, crafts, organizing, and gardening.

His projects have been built and published worldwide, and he's won 114 awards for excellence in design, six of which are National Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects and 20 from the professional journal Architectural Record. Jacobsen graduated from Yale’s School of Architecture in 1955, held an apprenticeship with Philip Johnson, and then opened a practice under his own name in 1958.

While I've always been the first in line to whip out the paint brush and slap on a coat of deeply saturated blue or green, lately I've been rethinking this strategy. Doesn't this bedroom look like the most serene, lovely sleeping space ever? Maybe white is the new It color scheme . . . Source
