friday favorites!

From editor Rosemary Hallmark: “Love the chic sophistication of this Houston home!” {“A Chic Houston Home” from La Dolce Vita} From managing editor Tiffany Burgess: “Project Sofa = Amazing Eye Candy. 11 fun and fearless designers have styled a classic white sofa with colorful throw pillows suited to their style. This version from Liz Caan caught my eye. Take a peek and see which one you can’t live without.” {“Project Sofa from Society Social” from Style Me Pretty} From Assistant Art Director Laura LaRue: I love all these rugs, but I think that pretty turquoise might be my favorite. Thanks for the inspiration! {“DESIGN CRUSH {Flat-Weave Rugs}” from Hello Metro} From Ellen Scruggs: In honor of the upcoming Academy Awards, I thought it would be fun to highlight a favorite blog spot, Hook On House. How many times have you gone to the movies and said, “I love that house!” , as in It’s Complicated (shown here) or Something’s Gotta Give, and wished you knew more about the house. This blog gives you the backstory with images about your favorite interiors. {Hooked on Houses} From Editorial Intern Blythe Cate: “Who says chocolate is just for Valentine’s day? I know I’ll be making this cake for a weekend treat.” {“Flourless Chocolate Cake” from Style Blueprint}
