Bold Vision : Anne Sage
Have you ever found a blogger that you really wanted to know in "real" life? Anne Sage is the bold vision behind The City Sage, and she is one of those people! I truly love visiting her blog for inspiration. She is real and always delivers quality posts.
Not to mention she is cute as a button!
I had the pleasure of asking her a couple of questions
to get to know her better:
What made you begin The City Sage? "I began the blog after applying for a zillion magazine jobs, all with no success! I figured, if no one will hire me to work at a magazine, I'll just start my own! I pay the bills by working as an organic chef at a small tech start-up here in San Francisco but eventually I would like to write,
create, and blog full time.
Tell me something your readers may not already know about you: "My favorite color is mauve; my favorite fashion designers are Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang; my favorite way to de-stress is to read a drugstore romance novel.
Check out her lovely Valentines post today!
Thank you Anne for sharing your bold vision with us!

Home Renovation : Bulletin Boards
Still collecting inspirational photos for my Art Studio. In addition to my pegboard idea, I am also going to need a very large bulletin board such as this one to keep my life organized!
I am in love with everything about this work space. Look how the bulletin boards match the wallpaper!
Katie's husband of katiedid made this for her! Perfect spot in the kitchen for all your important to-do lists. See the white framed trim around it? It gives the board a finished look.
I have this entire wall to work with for my pegboard and bulletin boards. Whew...Still lots to do!

Home Renovation: Window Seats
I have been gathering a folder of beautiful window seat areas to provide inspiration for our third floor addition. As mentioned previously, we added three double dormer windows to bring in the sunshine! To hide the duct work, we will have wonderful bench seats under each window, and a long bench covering the whole side of one bedroom. There are endless possibilities to make these comfortable with a decorated flair! Below are some of my
favorite sunny spots I have found.
What ideas do you have for this long bench?
With some pretty fabric, we can make cozy cushions to sit on.
Beautiful Sponsor: Artigiano Jewelbox

Life is Good
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are
something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Bold Vision : Jen Ramos
Jen Ramos is the bold vision behind MadeByGirl. I am inspired by her ongoing creativity and her zest for life! Her successful cards and prints line and popular blog are truly an inspiration to us all! On a personal note, she recently got married. I asked her how married life has changed her, and she replied, "I feel a sense of wholeness that I didn't feel before. That makes me even happier! Oh, and he calls me his wife now....so cute!"
Her colorful Love prints are ever so popular, and I am excited to present two of her latest prints just launched: Love languages and Hello languages
