friday morning inspirations...

i went for a bit of a walkabout this morning...its nice and sunny and very springlike here in fayetteville, arkansas...

anyway...my stroll led me here...

and i found this book to amuse my designer palette...

so i found a little nook to digest my amuse-bouche...

so having lounged in the club chair for a bit i thought i'd take a few snaps with my trusty i-phone which i love dearly...here are some of the books best offerings...

"Simply Contemporary - Inspirations for the Modern Home''

from Clarkson Potter Publishers, New York

nearly all of the houses featured bear the same, stripped back earthy, retro/vintage urban chic appeal thats popular at the moment...i got to thinking if it was indeed contemporary or if it deserved another title...

but having considered the meaning of contemporary i guess the book is aptly named and deservedly so...
