tiny.k is a blog devoted to interiors, photography, and anything else I find inspiring. I'm a freelance web developer by day and scour the internet for beautiful things by night. I live in the midwest (nope, not all farmland) with my husband, our daughter, and two dogs.
Photo of our dog, Bird, is by Jay Fram. Check him out, he's awesome!

Hello Autumn. So nice for you to drop by. Here are some cozy porches for a little Wednesday eye-candy. Fall is by far my favorite season and I cannot wait to sit out on our porch and drink coffee and hot chocolate by day, and a nice glass of wine by evening. Ahh… Fall.
This just scratches the surface of the really great things in the new Sept/Oct 2011 issue of Lonny Mag… highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already! Lovely photos by Patrick Cline.
Been a crazy week with Ada’s first trip to the ER, but she’s doing great and life is good! Happy Friday!

Inspired from this photo on Emma’s blog, it’s nice to know that if we never find time to actually renovate our 2nd floor that at least we could make it look far better than it does now. Doh!

Some really lovely photos/spaces from photographer Photo by Tim Bjørn (via Bo Bedre).
The bed below looks an awful lot like the Ikea Mandal bed which is intriguing to me since we lack closet space… and I still stick with my theory that customizing Ikea can take you a long way.
It took me a while to realize the photo below, on the right, was a pass-through to the room on the left… well done and well shot. Would also be a great idea for a painting or photograph. :)

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest and to this minute I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Honestly one second I like it and love that it’s a really easy way to organize photos I find, especially when I want to quickly reference them later on. On the flip side I feel conflicted about all the pins and repins losing photographer credits along the way—I am still up in the air about using photos from photographers, even with crediting them and linking to their site. I have talked about it to great lengths with three of my photographer friends and I still don’t know how I feel about it (for the record, all three said the same thing—giving credit and linking to their site, if they have one, is great).
Either way, Pinterest is very easy to use, has a pretty good iPhone app (not perfect but pretty good), and remains on my list of things I’m trying out (much like twitter where I was a late adopter but really love it!)… and now that that’s out of the way, here are a few of my pins from this week.

The below photos I’ve seen before (Domino Magazine maybe?) and are two that I have always loved. Sheepskin throws? Even after being a vegetarian for seven years (I eat meat now), I still want some. Really want.

These sets of images have a completely different feel, but all feel pink and airy. Ada’s birthday is this Saturday so perhaps that’s why I’m in such a mood!
Loving all of these from Milk Magazine. Top two from the home of Jean-Michel; bottom two from Fanny Sundgren’s home.

Photos by Magnus Selander
There’s so much I love about these Magnus Selander photos, aside from just the really lovely photography, but I think it boils down to two things—dark floors and hounds.
I’m a huge fan of anything Eames and have loved our molded rocker from the very first day it arrived (the best gift from the best mother-in-law… of all times!), so this black one stands out and screams my name. The photo on the right is everything I want in a floor since if all-white floors are not an option. We redid our kitchen floors with the same dark finish and I absolutely adore them every time I walk around on them. And that’s even with layers of dirt and filth! ;)

Then there are these photos. Oh Magnus, you had me the moment I laid eyes on this hound. Look. At. Him. While our hound cannot and will not sit, this one sits and immediately begs for your attention. It also reminds me of a really interesting interview Nathan was telling me about a few days ago that speaks up on the ethics of breading. While I definitely haven’t read enough to form a solid opinion, it does raise some really interesting questions, especially when it comes to inherited diseases.
I digress. Bottom line, I’m really liking these photos by Magnus Selander—pretty great photographer!
Photos by Stellan Herner
The past two weeks have been insanely busy and I feel completely out of touch with the rest of the world, but more on that in another post. For now, I’m really loving these photos by Stellan Herner. These are all from my bank of second-floor inspiration and I’m pretty sure we could never do anything similar with our space but I can dream, eh?
I’m also pretty sure I’d panel my whole house if I could.
