Monday, Monday.. and Late Weekend Links

My name is Rachel, and I'm a bad blogger. Hope you didn't miss me too much, last week was just a haze of craziness and deadlines, awkward situations and a heavy and unwelcome dose of cold. Not ideal blogging situations. Hope your week was better than mine, but a Friday night date-night with flowers and plenty of champagne, Saturday afternoon brunch followed by a crazy night out with my favourite ladies (one of whom was dressed as a pumpkin.. no, really) and a lazy Sunday in bed with more food and films than you can imagine has me in a far better state of mind this morning...

Inspired Interior: Eco Chic

My somewhat unhealthy obsession with this glamorous Arkansas space, which interior designers Chris & Anne Laidler call home, is sort of justified with the fact the building materials & furtnire were all sourced locally or made domestically. Items that they didn't need were donated to Habitat for Humanity. The results? A home that is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) platinum-certified yet still looks stylish. Obsessed.
