I never posted a pic of our moving announcements from the spring so here’s one! At the time we were cuckoo busy in reno projects (oh wait- we still are!) so I opted to design & crank out a quick A2 card in coral, honey yellow, pebble grey and scarlet. Un-shockingly the crest address stamp [...]

Hunted

Todays new scavanged treasures. Those pale minty heart candles are killing me- yellow & mint is apparently another of my color crushes currently! They were only .50 cents so if they burn well I’m totally going back to stock up. Share

The current project of the R.O.D. (Reno Of Doom) is our downstairs half bath. As evidenced by this “during” picture after the dust settled from the horrible plastery demo this weekend— there will be quite a dramatic after photo. Hopefully sooner than later. Right now I’m drowning in a sea of indecisive faucet choosing. It’s [...]
Sitting Pretty
May 15, 2011 –
It’s been a tedious hunt for stools due to my specifics but finally the search ends! I wanted a mix of wood & metal with a slightly industrial look. Also when we designed & built our island I somehow forgot to factor in the 3 inches of height the castors would add- so I needed [...]
Mr. Figgy Tree
May 12, 2011 –

Greenery

Yesterday I painted the accent wall in my studio/office. This room was the hardest to decide on since as it’s where I’ll spend the most time. Originally I planned to use a putty-dove color from Farrow & Ball (Calamine). I did a color consultation not long ago & chose that for my client’s guest room [...]
Chairs? Check.
March 25, 2011 –
In my formula for “chair wishing” there are 3 dream sequences. In Sequence 1 I find magic beans that grow cash-money and I am able to buy the George Nakashima chairs I am beyond in love with (top left- around $700 per chair). Sequence 2 is the one where the West Elm chairs that look [...]
Dear Dodecahedron

I love when James proves me wrong in the “you never listen to me” dept. A couple years ago I was obsessed with a geometric pendant light from West Elm. But it was on the tail end of our apartment days as we were embarking on our nomadic hobo adventure. With gritty reasoning he convinced [...]
