Congratulations Design*Sponge!

Good news. A Design*Sponge book is in the works. I need to start making room on my crowded shelves for this.

Project Garden

Inspired by a weekend trip to the Botanical Gardens and this post from Design Sponge on how to make a homegrown pharmacy, I have decided to tackle the unruly planting bed in front of our condo. Currently it's just the not-so-pretty ornamental plants that came with the condo and some dill we planted at the beginning of the summer that got a little out of control. I picked up some chamomile, curry, purple basil, golden sage, goldilocks, oregano lavender and rosemary plants at Garden District and Ginko Gardens. I'm so excited to finally have a beautiful garden to look at and to be able to step outside when I need something fora recipe.

Here are some other inspiring garden pics.

Adorable store design

I spied this sneak peak of the interior of Enjoy Cupcakes in Los Olivos, California over at Design Sponge. I love how bright and inviting it is. I must remember some of this ideas for when I design the interior of my store.
