For the love of maps…
I’ve always been a sucker for maps, and thankfully so is Nick. So I was thrilled to find this gem on Fab.com just now. It’s a World Map from These Are Things. Also, I love to save money, and it was 30% off the normal retail price. Woot woot!! Now hopefully our apartment survives Hurricane...
Sneak Peak of the New Missoni Collection for Target
Just a couple of the things that I can’t wait to nab when the collection hits stores. In the meantime, note that this is just a mere smattering of what they’re offering. There’s women’s, men’s, kids, accessories, and home. Poncho-thingie. Love it!! Must own these gloves. MUST. OWN. THEM. Missoni baby clothes?! Oh.emm.gee. Totes adorbs!...
The Beauty of the Bulb: Light bulb-exposing industrial lighting trend
I love my cfl’s for the sole purpose of saving energy costs, don’t get me wrong…but I hate the light quality that they produce. Therefore I’ve relegated them to use in our reading lights, lamps with patterned shades [to help disguise the light color], and any overhead lights with frosted glass shades. So with that...
Sofa Hunt: Timothy Oulton’s Reggio
I’ve owned the same sofa since 1998. It was the first big purchase I made after graduating college, and I got it from Storehouse Furniture. (Boy did I felt very grown up!) And even though it’s still a great sofa, it’s definitely seen better days. Therefore Nick and I have been keeping our eyes open...
Vintage-inspired Chenille Bedspreads
Did your Grandma have an amazing (and very colorful) Chenille bedspread in her house, just like mine? Over the years, I’ve kept my eye out for one of these at vintage shops, flea markets, and occasionally ebay but never seemed to find any that were in decent shape, didn’t smell like moth balls or were...
Kids stuff so adorable that it will make your womb hurt…
I don’t normally post on children’s stuff, so this is a little off-topic. However lately the cutest kids items have been popping up onto my screen, and I couldn’t help but point them out to those of you that kids of your own! These kids gifts really tugged at my heartstrings. I absolutely must figure...
I spy: A Colorful Kilim Rug!
(via SFGirlByBay) It’s the same rug as the one I have in my dining room!! Today while cruising through my bloglines feeds, I noticed this post and fell in love with all of the colorful vignettes of Tamar Schechner’s home. Of course, I also loved the fact that we have the same Ikea Kilim rug!! ...
Loving Bow ties!
They’ve been featured on every blog recently, but I couldn’t help but post about the new bow tie that I just bought my sweet hubby! He’s going to look so handsome in it! My friend Shauna and her dapper husband Stephen created this new line of bow ties called “Forage.” Curiosity Shoppe in SF is...
Oooh, hello Wisteria sale section! I see you have some gems for me.
Wisteria sent me a lovely little email today telling me to check out their sale section. And they have a few things that I would love to have, but certainly don’t need. (Especially since we just committed to a visit to Wyoming to stay with friends.) Therefore, I feel like I absolutely must share these...
I’m not gonna lie. I kinda like these kitschy plates.
This Etsy seller (BeatUpCreations) takes antique china and serveware and updates them from Granny to modern-day hipster wall art. This would make a cute (and inexpensive) wall decor statement. Fun for a small bathroom, hallway, or adding to a larger collection of art for a bit of humor. My favorite is this one of R2-D2....
For the love of Deyrolle
About 5 years ago I had the joy of visiting Paris. On that very brief visit, I was told that I MUST stop in to see Deyrolle while I was there. For those of you that have never visited, it’s a natural science “Cabinet of Curiosities” shop started in 1831 that is filled to the...
