MODERN WALL PUZZLE
Just adore this fun take on a silhouette jigsaw puzzle from Better Homes and Gardens.

A white paper silhouette pops with a bold, solid background. A new classic from Christina Williams.

CONTRASTING PATTERNS
So fresh. What a great way to dress up a bureau top. Fabulous idea from BklynSilhouettes.

Can be won over with a good glass of wine or something homemade. Addicted to Pinterest. Only pretends to know what she's doing with her SLR, even though she's got a fantastic lens on it. Thankful it does most of the work for her.
