A house shaped like an acorn? The decor is very eccentric and very British (it even has an AGA stove). I love it!

Emily Henderson decorates a sunroom. Skinny sunrooms can be very tricky. We had one in our last house and we couldn't figure out what to do with it. Emily turns this one into a breakfast area/children's playroom. It's so pretty and creative.

A vision board by designer Samantha Gluck. I really have to make one of these. This one looks great!

How to build a haunted house attraction. Interesting article. I didn't realize this was an industry.

A tablescape for a book club meeting. This is beautiful. I'm googling World Market for crocheted table mats right now. Here's a Christmas tablescape, also featuring books. Very creative.

Jennifer Crusie on creating exciting antagonists.

Deb Werksman on how the print book isn't dead.

A fall sangría: Honeycrisp Apple Sangría. This looks delicious.

Tour the House from The Witches of East End - Part I - Kitchen and Dining Room

I watched the Witches of East End this weekend. I loved it. Julia Ormond and Madchen Amick are fabulous as bickering sisters. The plot seems pretty standard for a paranormal show, but it has a couple of cool twists. Most, importantly, the sets are to die for. I guess I have a new favorite show now. 

The show feels a lot like my old favorite, Charmed. It even has a gorgeous Victorian house.

Adorable isn't it? The interiors aren't as quaint as in Charmed, but they're still lovely.

Great Goodreads discussion on favorite contemporary romance themes.

Anthropologie's visual director shares her workspace. I love the industrial desk chair and the branchy wallpaper. So cool.

This house is gorgeous. It was built in 1870 by a Spanish family that made its fortune in Cuba, and it's a mix of Cuban and Catalan decor. The vaulted ceilings (very Catalan) are so pretty and the encaustic tile floors (a Caribbean touch) are amazing. Via El Mueble.
