(Inspired by) The Palace Swan

How gorgeous are the feathers on this swan? The picture was taken in the frozen gardens at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany after a cold snap earlier this year. I was so inspired by the mix of taupe, grey and white in its feathers, that I went on a search for interiors with this palette. It's so calming and perfect for a long winter. (Thanks Punxsutawney Phil).

Inspiration 1.28

I have had one heckuva crazy week and the only thing keeping my head from spinning off and exploding is this browser-based to-do list TeuxDeux, which Jane at Seen and Said tipped me off to. If I don't write something down the second it crosses my mind, I won't remember it until it emerges from my subconscious in 4am nightmare form.

Which brings me to this cute chalkboard-paint calendar wall. I think it's such a great way to fit organizing into your decor without compromising on style.
