In addition to the 10 blogs from yesterday, there are two that I left off the list because they deserve their own post. Nearly every day I check in on Anna who lives in Newburgh, New York and blogs at DoorSixteen, and Benita, who lives in Sweden and blogs at Chez Larsson. They both write about their homes and lives in it, including decorating, design, and efficiency.

Here’s a room designed by Anna:

I especially like Anna’s ability to combine modern furniture in an older home, as well as her willingness to share photos of the removation work in progress. No guts, no glory, right?

Here’s a room decorated by Benita:

I like the white furniture surrounded by colorful walls and accents. I am terrible at incorporating color and haven’t even attempted to do so yet. Hopefully I can be as brave as Benita!

My favorite aspect of both of them is that they both have such clean design ideas that are still sensible for everyday living. I look forward to seeing how Anna’s garden unfurls and Benita’s book project progresses.
