I found this great hand built rustic dresser at a thrift shop for $200 a few years ago to house the husband’s clothes and to match our old Tropical Master Bedroom. It was perfect and I loved scoring such a treasure. In our new master bedroom, however, it doesn’t really work. The unfinished wood with …
I don’t like to buy things needlessly {unless they go on my feet ;} and I love repurposing my old furniture and home decor into new rooms and new uses. In fact, I get really excited about it. Kind of like DIYing something new to wear from something that was about to get donated! But …
I love a great console table with a pair of dueling lamps at either end. It must be the symmetry of the look that is so pleasing to my visual eye. In fact, I was hoping to get the look behind our new sectional sofa on the window side, but low and behold, I don’t …
Our new sectional sofa finally arrived over the weekend {YAY!} and we are so excited to finally have a new and comfortable couch after living with one lacking that most important element, for the last 8 years. However, the squared angle of it has given me new challenges to work with in this very long …
We are apparently in phase two of our loan process and in escrow on our house in Lake Arrowhead. Everything is looking good and technically, monetarily speaking, we should have no problems getting this house. However, in this market, with the ever-careful banks, who only a few years back were giving loans to deceased people …
At just over $11,000 this amazing Swing Table by Christopher Duffy for British design brand Duffy London doesn’t necessarily qualify as a “must-have” but I’m absolutely obsessed with it anyway and LOVE the concept. They pitch it for the workspace, as a way to make board meetings “fun” {as if}, but I’d prefer it with …
I’m sure I found Modern Declaration via Pinterest… although it really could have been via any social media source, but Pinterest is known for the prettiest of images, so I’m just assuming. Daun Curry is the gorgeous and talented designer behind Modern Declaration and I have just fallen in love with her work. Since stumbling …
* I might change the knobs to give it a little more character * Apologies if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram as you may have seen this directly after we purchased it yesterday afternoon at ZGallerie but for everyone else, this Salvatore Antiqued Mirrored Bar Cabinet is what we decided on for our …
Our Thanksgiving table, 2010 & DIY pop art canvases It has come to my attention that we are in dire need of more kitchen and dining room storage and a proper bar. Yes, maybe it’s because I keep buying dishes and glassware and decanters that I don’t necessarily need but when I find a gem …
The other night as I was trying to fall asleep, I caught the beginning of Sex and the City 2 for the 10th time and was inspired by Carrie’s tassel fringe trimmed curtains . . . . . . so while at JoAnn’s the other day I picked up some black tassel fringe trim thinking …
Last week while packing up the gallery the boss ever-so-graciously offered me this mod molded plywood chair that he didn’t have a space for any longer. I asked my coworkers & drollgirl if they were interested and they assured me they were not. So, being the great scavenger that I am, I was giddy with …
Part of a creative partnership with Qbiss by Trimo & Moooi, Nika Zupanc will present a new exhibition of her work, including the gorgeous 5 O’Clock chair which was inspired by “a supreme commander of an army {who} owns a teahouse”. . . . And is, in my opinion, the perfect merging of antique and …
