From Entryway to Open Bar.

1 Comment Posted by on July 29, 2009

As promised, more on the bar topic… This weekend I was prepping for a small get together for my boyfriend’s birthday and needed to set up a bar area. It’s always a challenge in a tiny apartment to find a good spot with enough room for the foot traffic to flow in order to make [...]

Workbench Copycats.

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 29, 2009

I have been enamored with Thom Filicia’s time-worn workbench-turned-bar since it was first published in Domino magazine. It’s so welcoming in the entryway of his summer lake house, inviting guests to pour a cocktail as they set their bags down. With this image constantly in my mind as I think about decorating a bar area [...]

The Loft-Vibe.

I know I’m way behind on the wave of popularity that Gossip Girl was getting when it first came out, but after much persuasion from friends and family who were adamant that I would SWOON for the preppy sets and clothes, I finally broke down and bought the first season on DVD. Lets just say, [...]

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 16, 2009

I’m kind of giddy that Jamie Meares of the I Suwannee blog is starting her own business called Furbish Design! It’s been so fun to read about Jamie’s personal decorating projects (I’m addicted to her bookcase of the day and eBay finds posts), so I’m sure she’ll bring her same sense of humor and awesome [...]

I was never a subscriber to Glamour until recently when I started receiving [...]

Call me.

When thrifting this past weekend, I came across a few sellers that were displaying vintage rotary phones. I was tempted to buy one because I love the way they look, but I wasn’t sure if their wiring would work… (I snapped a picture of this one at Oldies Marketplace) Thinking about it some more, I [...]

Rested and Recharged.

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 14, 2009

My hiatus is over, I’m back from a lovely 4th of July, a very relaxing week at the beach, and have finally caught up on my overflowing inbox that welcomed me at the office. It’s so hard to come back to the real world after days of BBQs, beaches, shopping, and lovely weather. The one [...]

Another rainy day.

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 2, 2009

I’m convinced that the rain is never going to stop, so I need to find some positive sunshine-thinking in the midst of the storm clouds.  Perhaps an attractive umbrella stand to put a happy spin on my rain-soaked commute? I just got an email from the Jonathan Adler store promoting his line in Turquoise and [...]
