Blogs We {Heart}

In fact, we {heart} them so much that we do a little sum'thin sum'thin to keep 'em in business. And in return - they send their fabulous readers our way. It's a win-win all around.

You know about John and Sherry over at Young House Love, yes? Oh, we heart this little family a lot. I read them every day. In fact, I (far too) often say to my husband: "Well, John and Sherry did this" or "John and Sherry found that here" or something or other.

And there's Remodelaholic for great ideas for just about anything - for example, I recently sourced great tips for our St. Patrick's Day party and more inspiration for our new boys' room.

And now, Catherine and Derek of your modern couple are the newest addition to the gang. I'm diggin' their site design for sure and I love pretty well everything they post - from design and fashion to home and life.
And, check out the intro post they put together for us here ("The Writing's on the Wall" - isn't that a perfect title?).
So do yourself a solid and have a visit. Browse around and feel free to ooooh and ahhhh to your heart's content. Trust me, I know there are thousands of fabulous blogs to be reading (my blogroll and favorites links are ample proof), but these guys really are special (and not just 'cause you'll find our ad on the side). You won't regret it - but beware, they can be addicting. Enjoy!

Bwed: Custom Design

When Alexandra of Bwed contacted us with a custom design project, we were thrilled to help. (Because, as you know, custom projects are our favorites!) Alexandra was full of ideas and we were more than happy to accomodate. And so - voila! The logo - and inspiration - for her new exclusive wedding blog was born.

Fabulous, isn't it? It looks even better integrated into the blog - which, by the way is chock-full of lovely images, designs, ideas, hints and wedding bliss. Her tagline is my favorite (and sounds like a wall quote design waiting to happen, no?)

"The greatest love story ever told... is your own."

Alexandra wrote a lovely thank you post featuring Belvedere Designs this week. Check it out - and while you're there, have a look at all the loveliness happening at Bwed Exclusive. Enjoy!
