[LINKED] We Get Around

Here's some links to lots of cool shit all over the interwebs, cause, well...sometimes we're too friggin lazy to just write our own:

+ My blogging BFF @DecorDemon has a new killer DIY vid on @HGTV with instructions for how to make your own fab photo collage backsplash. A. LOVES IT! and B. Doesn't his hair look good? [HGTV]

+ Here are 5 Workspaces We Love From Famous Designers. My own isn't included, of course, cause I'm not at all famous and also my "workspace" is a couch. [Unplggd]

+ Things Organized Neatly? Not in my apt, but still...[Lemondrop]

+ Not really surprising, but apparently I really like painted ceilings. I realized this after clicking through this entire insanely annoying slide show gallery: Painted Ceiling Inspiration Gallery [Apartment Therapy]

+ Charles & Hudson needs a Fall intern to help out in their LA office...and Emily Henderson, former Design Star contestant and current HGTV Secrets From A Stylist host superstar also needs some interns for her show (and also in LA)  [Charles & Hudson and Style by Emily Henderson]

[AYFKMWTS] Mountain-Top Estates

So remember how I'm kind of obsessed with getting a weekend "country house" up in the Catskills?

Right, so this obsession manifests itself probably once a week or so, and when it does, it generally results in one to 9 hours (oopsie...I couldn't sleep that night) of online real estate research. During my latest real estate porn bender, somewhere between drooling over a cute little cottage in Phoenecia within walking distance of Sweet Sue's and a cabin in Woodstock that was only 45k but had no bathroom, I came across this place.

[WHO GIVES A SHIT?] What Do You Splurge On?

I'm def very much in the hi/low camp when it comes to decorating (mixing nicer pieces with less expensive pieces), though aren't we all? I mean, unless you're super, duper, mega, rich (in which case, HELLO! Let's be besties and take trips to the Amalfi Coast together!) then you probs do the same thing in your place.

I mean, I've got shit from ABC Carpet AND Ikea. Tarjay completes me, but also I love my Frette robe like it's a family member.

So, if you're not a bazillionaire, what do you think is worth splurging on in your home?

[MAKE EM] Souvenir Travel Boxes

I'm immeds stealing this idea from November's Country Living mag. Well, at least the next time I take a trip.

I mean, how adorbs are these little boxes?

The basic idea is that you cut out a map in the shape of the place you visited, print out a pretty label, and then slap it all on cute little box. You can then use the box to keep all the shit you collected on your trip and don't know what to do with cause you think scrapbooking is totally ghey.
