Style Verdict: Vintage Modern

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 26, 2009

I just took Sproost’s Style Engine quiz to find out my personal decorating style (a productive day for me, yes). It appears that I’m a mixed bag,  50% Vintage Modern, 28% Cottage Chic, 22% Hollywood couture.  I feel like a bit of a design schizophrenic, but  I think it is pretty accurate when I read the [...]

If these walls could talk.

1 Comment Posted by on February 17, 2009

I love gallery style walls of art in homes. While I’ve faced little difficulty in growing my collection of art, displaying it in a meaningful composition can be a challenge, especially when that collection is constantly growing and evolving. Wes and Kayla from ApartmentTherapy just posted a great “How-To” on hanging art in a group [...]

Cruising on some websites recently for a little inspiration, it seems that the nail-head trim headboard is a  growing [...]

My non-negotiable must-watch (faux)reality show is “The City.”   While I lust after their jobs and clothing and accessories [...]

The zebra predicament.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 5, 2009

I subconsciously save every picture I come across where zebra rugs are at the foundation of the room.  They add a splash of glamour to almost any grouping of furniture that sits on top of it, and manage to work with just about every color scheme. When I found a very inexpensive zebra rug at [...]

Goodbye Dear Domino.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 5, 2009

When I called a friend to share the horrific news that our favorite magazine Domino was going under, she initially thought I was calling to tell her someone had died because I was so upset.  The New York Times article  said that “while its circulation was strong and growing, advertising numbers, much more important, demanded [...]

Better late than never.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 5, 2009

A month late on my new year’s resolution, I’m jumping into the blogosphere. Better late than never, right? It took me a month to actually start because I’ve been obssessing over what to write in the first post.  After reading hundreds of design blogs everyday for the past year, I promised myself i’d start to [...]
