Best wishes to your blog-friend on this new venture, and thanks to you for being such a generous passer-on of fantastic links! I haven’t had the time to root around any of the the links yet except the blue and white kitchens, but it’s something to look forward to over coffee later today. What made me smile in the photos above is that Maya used an IKEA island in her makeover and there’s an IKEA chandelier in Sarah’s tablescape. I hear IKEA criticised a lot, but I personally think it brings out the resourcefulness and customising creativity in a lot of homelovers.

Sunshine–
I just double-checked the link and it’s working for me. Did anyone else have problems with it? You might want to try their home page instead: http://www.dunsmuir.org/. -Julia

Love the links. Thanks for the post.

My master bedroom is featured in the Casa Sugar Decorating Over Your Bed article. It’s the 8th bedroom…. blue room, wood bed and the tiny artwork above. Just thought I’d share!

Thankyou Julia for sharing all of these things with us.

Maya’s kitchen makeover is amazing! I’m sure it took alot of work to get it finished.

I love the Dunsmuir mansion, especially the staircase. I would love to have a house with a nice staircase.

I think the bank or whatever will most likely sue him now and he’ll just owe them that much and have to claim bankruptcy or whatever.
