- I love My Milk Toof. The inclusion of the David Bowie poster is genius. (above)
- Which is better, a black floor or a white floor?
- Patterned fabric inspired cakes!
- What a lovely nursery for a little girl. Not too sugary sweet — just right. (via Design*Sponge)
- This is just a tease, but I love what we’ve seen so far of Victoria’s new place.
- Adorable outfits turned into adorable fashion illustrations. Yes.
- I love these birdhouses made with a sense of humor.
- Let’s talk money and blogs. And then let’s think a bit more about the subject. (Clearly this has been on my mind lately.)
- The Marina City apartments have pink kitchens? Shhh. I’m sure this one is a rarity, but let’s pretend that they are all like this, OK?

May 16, 2010 at 9:52 pmhow nice to have such a good friend in Jules standing up for you. I love that! And can I just say…I so love your blog. I hope you get compensated well so you can keep it up! It definitely takes time away from your family and you should be compensated for that. Especially considering I’m not the one doing the compensating! It’s free for me.

May 16, 2010 at 11:36 pmIs that a font that you use above these Honor Roll posts or is that your handwriting? If it is a font, would you tell me which one it is?

May 20, 2010 at 4:34 pmLove the Milk Toof photo! I agree, the Bowie image is a great touch – I also love the miniature keyboard in the background.
And yes, I agree that bloggers deserve to be fairly compensated. Obviously we may give “free” advertising/marketing to brands we feel strongly about and that we love, but it’s unrealistic to expect someone to create a well written, well designed blog full of fresh, interesting content and keep doing it indefinitely for absolutely nothing. At the end of the day, we need to pay for our hosting costs, etc, at the very least, but especially when big brands want some exposure we should be able to expect some sort of valid compensation.
