I have a confession to make. Monday night I came home and had the house all to myself for the evening. I didn't have to make dinner and I was procrastinating on all those pesky household chores. Two of my favorite magazines had just arrived in the mail (Elle Decor and Coastal Living) so what did I do?! I plopped down on the sofa, turned on HGTV, poured myself a glass of wine, enjoyed an entire box of macaroni and cheese all to myself while I indulged in some glossy paged goodness. My downtime is pretty limited these days, so it was nice to get a break from the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life and take a moment (or three hours) for myself. How divine!

Room of the Day

I'm loving this indoor/outdoor space with its sleek, modern furnishings and loads of light streaming in. And who doesn't love a surf board propped in the corner?!

Overstock, why do you keep teasing me?!

I have tried ordering this rug for my living room twice now (at the amazing low price of only $129 for the 9x12 size) only to be a day late or a dollar short! Either it's out of stock, or the price gets raised to $176 at a blink of an eye. I just can't bring myself to pay the higher price, but the $129 price tag is very appealing! Should I keep checking back to see if the price drops, or should I just bite the bullet and pay $176? Decisions, decisions. . . my birthday is coming up, maybe I will have to drop a few hints with a few special people ;)

Home Design Furniture

Frederiksberg, Denmark witnessed the birth of furniture designer Finn Juhl on January 20, 1912. The son of textile wholesaler, Finn Juhl enjoyed the Royal Museum of Fine Arts and could be found there quite often. He wanted to be an art historian, but his father’s practical thinking prodded him into attending the Royal Academy of Arts instead. Often looked upon as a very quiet man, Finn Juhl earned himself an architect degree which he later used to design interiors such as those found in the chambers of the UN in New York City. His furniture designs, especially his chairs, are what he is truly remembered for and secured his place in modernism design.

Finn Juhl worked in the offices of architect Vilhelm Laritzen for 11 years, learning what it was like to be an architect and giving him the experience he needed later down the road. He won an award for designing his own home in 1942 and while working for Laritzen, Finn Juhl had the opportunity to also work with Viggo Boesen on Broadcasting Corporation’s Radio Building. Finn Juhl is not credited for designing this building, but every aspect of design – especially the interior – was heightened in , leaving his mark on it for evermore. had been exhibiting his own designs prior to leaving the architect firm, including one in conjunction with cabinetmaker Niels Vodder that was displayed at the 11th Annual Copenhagen Cabinetmaker’s Guild.

Finn Juhl liked organic looks and feels and this style was pioneering in the 1930s. His furniture was designed using various structural elements that showcased the tensions and forces that acted upon the furniture in a dramatic light. His trademark was the showcasing of the differences between the framework of the piece and the areas that supported the body. He also enjoyed the way wood could be sculpted and many of his pieces – such as the ‘Pelican’ chair – were inspired by ethnographic primitive mystique, surrealism, and the passion to create products that were unique yet functional.

Finn Juhl’s designs eventually turned towards mass market appeal that was beautiful, classic, sturdy and affordable. Many of those pieces were produced by Niels Vodder who worked with Finn Juhl for 22 years after their initial collaboration. won Finn Juhl 16 different guild competitions. He became well known in the United States and he began lecturing on interior design at the Frederiksberg Technical School.

Easy, breezy sunroom

I am loving this space featured in BHG. The cool color combination of aqua, orange and white with pops of yellow is simply divine! A sunroom is ideal for entertaining, or even just relaxing, all year round.
