blogwatch: where we’ve been clicking this week

Holly of decor8 is now documenting her new residence in Germany at Haus Maus. We love the bathroom and want ours to look this pulled together. (Check out the shower curtain!)
Absolutely Beautiful Things just added a weekly feature — a showcase of items from readers called Absolutely Favourite Things. We love seeing what inspires.
Check out what to eat after vacation at Pink of Perfection. (It looks not only delicious, but easy.)
Heysusy likes the styling of the photography of Scott & Zoe. The photos themselves could spark all kinds of design ideas.

This is from a few months back, but these are so clever and useful we have to share: how to crochet pot scrubber dishcloths that incorporate recycled plastic bags at My Recycled Bags.
Moodboard forecasts a new trend: scalloped edges. We think she’s onto something.
We’re not the only ones looking for new ways to decide on paint colors. Apartment Therapy posts about BHG’s Color-a-Room.

I’m contemplating new kitchen colors, and it seems like none of the online color selectors offer pictures of kitchens. Sigh. My cupboards are painted and I’d like to play with picking multiple colors on a wall. Nothing I’ve seen has quite fit the bill yet. Guess I’ll have to make do, or does anyone know of anything different?

Oh, that shower curtain IS fabulous! It reminds me of an old fashioned nightgown.

I think it might be the Wash Day Shower Curtain from Anthropologie? I got it for my sister a couple of years ago and it looks like they still have it…

Aw thanks you guys for posting this, it’s very flattering to find this blogged here!
The shower curtain is the “White Devil” by India Rose and yes, it’s sold at Anthropologie but I purchased mine online through Burke Decor with free shipping.

I also purchased the matching laundry bag since I keep the bag behind the door in the bathroom. I wanted everything to match.
