I’m sure some, if not all of you, are sick of hearing about Missoni for Target this and Missoni for Target that, so let me apologize in advance. Now, can I tell you a secret? I honestly wasn’t that crazy about most of the Missoni for Target line. I mean, I like chevron stripes, but [...]
Happy Fourth of July! To me red, white and blue popsicles epitomize Independence Day. (I’m sure my past history teachers would cringe if they heard me say that.) I’m planning to have blue stained lips all weekend from increased popsicle consumption. I hope you have a great long weekend! For your entertainment here’s a hilarious (or [...]
Here’s some stuff I’m currently crushing on. Sometimes blogging lets me satisfy my shopping urge without spending a penny. Sometimes it doesn’t. One thing is certain, I have to come up with an excuse to buy some washi tape! 1 Japanese Washi Tape 2 Arrow Necklace 3 Hanging Pod Wall Vase 4 Crinkled Wheel Set 5 [...]
We’ve had a gloomy rainy day—the best sort of day for sketching new ideas and soaking up inspiration. This afternoon I savored a cup of hot tea and pored over Pattern by Orla Kiely. Oh yeah, and I painted my nails. I’m in love with white nail polish. It reminds me of coating my nails with [...]

I can’t count how many times I’ve googled “affordable Adler vase look alike.” Finally my search is over, because I snatched up [...]
Here’s something that I love—white lamps. I see them everywhere, and they all want to come home with me. Sorry lamps, you are amazing but I can’t adopt any more of you. My husband would have a fit! 1 3-D Chandelier from Urban Outfitters 2 Kathryn Table Lamp from Crate & Barrel 3 Ada Table [...]
Now that the laundry room is done, I’m moving on to the basement bathroom. It is horrendous! Brass water stained faucet, purple and white linoleum, yucky light fixture, 40 year old crusty shower door, lots of unnecessary storage cabinets left by the previous owners… In the year and a half we’ve lived here I haven’t [...]
I recently discovered milk glass, and I think a lot of people associate it with tacky grandma clutter. Luckily I never made that association so I have an unbiased view: milk glass is awesome. Granted some of the patterns are lame (white grape vines? no thanks), but I LOVE the hobnail design. It looks so [...]
