This is beautiful. As a blogger who doesn't have children, I generally tune these discussions out, but this? This I can get behind. In fact, a voice came into my head at the end of this saying, "Maybe I want to adopt." I still don't know if my husband and I want kids, but you just stirred one of the stronger maternal instincts I've ever had in my life. If you can do that to ME, I can only imagine how many people you've inspired to make a difference.

Oooh, loving it! What a smart idea.

Love it! Now I just need that new address so I can send you a Happy New Mailbox! card ...

Wow, I love it. I would never think to put the wood with the modern white the way you did and it's just LOVELY.

Love this idea -- brilliant! Cannot wait to see it once it's done and you're madly in love with it.

Oh my gosh, I am just so jealous. It looks beautiful!

Yeah, I think I'd DEFINITELY skip right to the cocoa part. But that has more to do with me being lazy than being smart or anything :)

Love that you're sharing the bad along with the good!

Oh, you guys are too adorable. The dogs are my favorite, of course, followed closely by that gorgeous door. I've been dying to do a bright color on our door but am scared!

It's looking fabulous! As is your hair -- LOVE the short style on you.

If I'm being honest, Trina Turk is one of my favorites so I'm just thrilled that she has a home line. And most of the others I really love (DVF, Ralph Lauren) already. But, I'd LOVE to see some of the designers behind the really fantastical runway shows put together some funky home decor, a la Alexander McQueen (may he rest in peace), you know?
