Lili Diallo's Interiors

Apartment Therapy featured this stylist's interiors today and I took note. I love looking at home interiors, but so much of what I see online and in magazines resemble stage sets. Beauty with out substance, No art, no soul, no history. But then I come across a space like this that feels real. I love the restrained and effortless use of color, the mix of materials and styles. I feel like I could move right in. Visit Apartment Therapy for more of Lili Diallo's interiors.

Played hooky this afternoon I took the boys out for a ferry ride on the San Francisco Bay. Lovely.

Cakewrecks

There was a period of time when I was a little girl that my sister and I had a cake decorating kit. I don't remember the details, maybe we had a pan shaped like a bunny, some tips and colored frosting. Being creative kids, we enjoyed making and decorating the silly cakes. (Of course, at the time they weren't silly.) Since then, I've always been amused by silly cakes. (The Last Cake Standing on Food Network is really great for cake watching.)

So, when I came across this site today, I bookmarked it instantly. From this resignation cake, to a nose cake, to a vasectomy cake, and standard decorating gone awry, it's all there.
