Bluecanary sent in photos of her kitty Sweetpea to the brand-spanking new Team group, Pets in the House. This new Team group simply asks you to send in your photos of pets on, around, or inside furniture, so we can all check out the overload of cuteness.
The colors in this photo are absolutely striking and dramatic. Bluecanary also notes that her kitty's sticking her tongue out in the photo (look closely if you missed it the first time).

Such throwback romanticism may not be everyone's bag, but I'm really loving this Briar Hill antiqued bed ($399, marked down from $999). The beautiful antiqued-brown finish is contrasted by delicate handpainted floral accents. The bed features a gently scalloped design on headboards and footboards and is constructed of sturdy Asian hardwood and veneers. The king bed set includes headboard, footboard, and rails.
This week I'll be cutting, crafting, and mod-podging my way towards finishing some Valentine's cards for my family (and maybe, just maybe, for my special valentine, too).
Making valentines may seem a little middle school to some, but my grandmothers and siblings really appreciate a handmade card on Feb. 14. What about you? Do you still craft Valentine's cards for anyone?

Nearly two weeks ago, I took you on a little house tour of Meg Ryan's Stradella Road property with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Apparently, Meg's house didn't make the cut (or at least it's on the back burner), since Juno Jen and her hubby were house hunting again this weekend. This time, they caught sight of a brand new, 5,000-square-foot, seven bedrooms, 12 baths Holmby Hills, Calif., Federalist-style home. The megamansion on less than an acre features a two-story foyer and exquisite paneling, as well as private, intimate family spaces and plenty of green grass for Violet to play on. No news on what they thought of the traditional digs, but time will soon tell. To see a gallery of the home, read more
Dear Haley Table Lamp ($219),
I love you like Tom Cruise loves Katie, like Amélie loves cracking crème brûlée, like hearts and stars and flowers, and like the Beatles love me do. I love your glam mercury glass shimmer, your chic silky barrel shade, your three-way switch, and the way you'd command attention in my living room. Unfortunately, sweet lamp, I cannot afford you right now. So, my dear Haley Table Lamp, if you're listening, I hope you love me enough to wander over my way.
Yours truly,
CasaSugar
For the next round of this game, look at each of these Moroccan-style rugs and guess which one is more expensive. These two rugs are actually surprisingly similar in price, so it's tricky. If you've been practicing with all my other Less or Mores, you should be up for this challenge!
