Sometimes I run across a portfolio of an interior designer that stops me in my tracks. The work of Australian designer, Anna Spiro of Black & Spiro Interior Design made me do just that. Each of her residential projects are filled with such wonderful layers, color and life. I’m sharing some of my favorite images from her newly designed website, but you will have to drop by to see all of her gorgeous portfolio. You will love!

As you may well know, I’m addicted to Pinterest. The images that cross my screen inspire me daily. So, I thought I would share my Pinterest favorites from this past week.
I don’t even eat sweets, but just loved the color combo of this mint & pink layered cake.
I’ve had my eye on Serena & Lily’s chic nesting tables for some time. They are full of function and style. Love!
I’ve always been drawn to a pink bathroom, so had to pin this bath with Guadeloupe wallpaper from Thibaut’s new Jubilee Collection. Simply gorgeous!
I pinned this sweet breakfast nook because I loved the U shaped banquette and the storage drawers. Such a cozy spot for all members of the family to enjoy!
Love this quote. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball or two. I’ve learned not to sweat the small stuff and focus on the joys life brings.

Michaela (the fab design student who interned with me last summer) is interviewing several design blogger today and I was thrilled to be included. She asked us a few questions on why they began blogging, how it’s changed since we started and what has come of this awesome community. It’s fun to know why these other ladies took the leap into the blogging world.

This month’s Matchbook Magazine is not to be missed. The issue features interviews with several inspiring women entrepreneurs including Dabney Lee Woglom (home product designer), Kayce Hughes (fashion designer) and Erin Fetherston (fashion designer).
My favorite however an interview with fashion designer, Elizabeth McKay Jenkins. The Parson’s alum founded the Elizabeth McKay clothing company with women of all shapes and sizes in mind. It’s been a huge success. Matchbook also takes us on a tour of her family home. It’s adorable.
I love all the patterned wallpaper, chinoiserie fabrics and pops of color she used throughout. How cute is that crib for her baby girl? Love!
Drop by Matchbook Mag for more!
