Iron (Antique) Bed Love, Part 2
Well, I guess by the title you know which choice we made for our master bedroom! Although we liked the quality of Charles Rogers’ beds, we didn’t really like any of their king size styles. (Definitely have to give them props for making quality beds with iron & real brass versus aluminum and painted brass...
Iron Bed Love, Part 1
Okay…a little back story: N’s family just gave us a set of king size mattresses. Woohoo! Big upgrade, right?! We were certainly excited, and after years without an actual bed frame we decided this might be a good impetus to get us to focus our decorating attentions on the master bedroom. (You’ve noticed I’ve never...
New candle love!!
Just got the most amazing new candle today! It’s Royal Apothic brand, Edwardian Fireplace scent. When I pulled it out of the package, I let my co-workers smell it and they [also] loved it so much that they asked me to light it right then. So I took this picture of my new candle burning...
New Artist Series from Book City Jackets
My friend Nishat that I’ve posted about before, is featured in Book City Jackets’ new Artists Edition No. 2 along with Cheeming Boey and Michael Hsiung. BCJ’s mission is to make every book beautiful by creating unique book covers printed on recycled kraft paper. Pretty nifty, right? It reminds me of when I used to...
I don’t think you know how badly I “need” this…
Terrain at Styers has just started selling their wares online. I’m pretty fortunate to live close enough to the store to just drive down there and go shopping, and yet I never do…and therefore I look through their website and lust after some of their items. One in particular is this vintage Texas Glider. It...
Another idea to makeover the mantle?
Thankfully I know the person who built this. Maybe I can convince her to show me just how to re-work it for my own mantle… Hmm. photo via YoungHouseLove.

It’s wonderful being surrounded by creativity each day. And I can truly say that one of my favorite creative / talented individuals is my friend Nishat Akhtar.

Max Wanger, why don’t you live in Philly so that you can photograph my wedding?
You see Max, I adore your work! There are so many of your pictures in my “inspiration file” just for photography styling alone that it pains me that you live so far away. However, flying you in from Los Angeles is probably out of the question…so I thought I’d pen this lament in hopes that...
Invitation Inspiration
I can’t even HANDLE the BEAUTY!! I mean…making all your invitations out of vintage hankies?! OMG…If I had more energy (and money) to start digging for vintage hankies, then I probably would. As it stands now, I’m probably going to have to let this idea go by the wayside, but it literally KILLS me to...
The perfect sofa
Oh sofa…I’ve searched & dreamed of you for years. And now that I’ve found you, why must you be so expensive? If I had $5000 to spend on a sofa (which I do NOT), this wool Oscar sofa from Matthew Hilton would be the perfect one. Thanks to Mrs. French for posting about it.
