Outgrowth with a Frameable Family Tree
Choosing, printing, and gluing pictures to this frameable family tree (which fits in an IKEA Ribba) is so much more fun than just scribbling in the names.

Fill the wolf’s mouth with red lights for Halloween. Otherwise, let it glow with white bulbs all year round.

Fashion Meets Decor in Shades of Purple
No matter how you use purple in your wardrobe or in your house..when you do so, you use it make ready to make a statement.Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. It is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance.
I’m in the mood for this kind of happy, soothing color. It’s the palest of the pale lavenders — a petally color, a flower color. I think it’s very pure and fresh. I’d use it in a bedroom, where you could mix it up with everything from mirrored furniture to pale wood furniture to dark mahogany.” – Pittsburgh Paints in Orchid Petal
Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.
California Paints Faded Lilac 7490W, used in the bedroom in this picture.
Purple makes for the perfect accessory for your outfit or for your bedroom.
It’s the color of a spring crocus. Bold, but not too sweet.
Love this intense deep violet pink. I’m dying to use it, but it definitely requires someone who’s willing to take a risk.
Now, if you want to make a statement either by walking in a party or for the perfect dinning room, dark purple is the way to go.All the dresses and accessories are from Net-a-Porter.[Images via House Beautiful & Domino Mag]

Take a look at Matthew McConaughey’s Airstream Trailer
Matthew McConaughey’s Airstream trailer has been his home/office for at least the last 4 years. The trailer is parked in Malibu, with “surfing right down the street.” And I have to be honest I have been extremely curious to see what it looked inside. He started his media rounds promoting his new movie “Surfers, Dude” and I guess as part of it he finally opened the doors to his Airstream house on the road.
“I’ve always loved driving’,” he proclaims in his Texas twang. “Driving’ is, number one, where I get some time with myself. Number two, it’s the main place I catch up on music. And number three, it’s the best way to see the country. Matthew McConaughey customized his 2004 Airstream International CCD 28 with a practical mind-set. “If it looks good but it’s not functional, then it’s not worth anything,” he says. And it shows..the decor is extremely simple, you would never guess it belong to a two figure salary actor..but then again that is what it is always so charming about him…he is true to himself!!! Keep reading for pictures of the trailer.
Those 28 feet encompass a living area with a banquette and a dining table/desk; a streamlined kitchen; a toilet and shower; and a snug bedroom that the actor refers to as the Honeycomb on account of its rounded ceiling and golden hues. “It’s got a great window right above your pillow, so when you wake up in the morning, you’re looking right at the ocean or wherever your backyard is that day,” he says.
I named the Airstream the Canoe. I mean, the highways are like river ways, they’re just concrete.” Over the years he’s personalized the Canoe with a satellite dish on the roof; a barbecue in back; book racks and ceiling netting to hold travel literature, journals and scripts; and a custom banquette and table to accommodate his six-foot frame. One of the things he really likes of his place is “It’s two seconds from making your bed to putting your coffee on the stove,” McConaughey remarks.

Fantastic Home Accessories from Angela Adams
If you’re like most people in the current economic situation, you probablycan’t afford to redecorate your entire living quarters right now, but it’s definitely nice to get a few choice items to spruce the place up a bit. If only you could find the right things to complement your current decor and tie the whole thing together, right?I’m really loving the current line of home accessories by Angela Adams, especially her collection of small accent rugs and throw pillows. The patterns are modern, graphic and bright, perfect for a summer home decor refresh. The prices are very reasonable, which means even those of us on a budget can afford a few fabulous designer items scattered throughout the house.
Also marvelous are the Angela Adams birch veneer trays, which are great for serving cocktails or cupcakes to your guests on those hot summer evenings. The trays themselves are so deliciously sleek, anything you put on them
will look fantastic.
