Back to School with Jamie of I Suwanee

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 18, 2009

I’m excited to to welcome Jamie of I Suwanee and Furbish Design and share her picks for her back to school list… A notebook that can become entertainment when my attention starts to fade. Custom stationery that would make note taking more fun. Perfection. A <a href="http://russellandhazel … Aug 9 kate, Sherry, Mail, me (6) [...]

Back to School

1 Comment Posted by on August 17, 2009

I don’t know if you’re like me, but I used to get giddy at the thought of lying out my new back to school outfit and picking out fresh notebooks for the first day of school (what can I say, I’m a dork!). I nearly started skipping down the aisles at a recent trip to [...]

Kate’s done it again.

No, not this Kate, but Kate Spade… Queen of all things playful and preppy. I was ecstatic to learn that Kate Spade was launching a debut clothing collection, and true to her form, it’s every bit as fabulous as her bags and accessories. It’s certainly not in my price range, but it’s worth a look [...]

Must have wallpaper.

1 Comment Posted by on August 16, 2009

I have zig-zags on the mind. After posting on Friday about the zig-zag table from Oomph, it reminded me of Lindsey Coral Harper‘s apartment photos, I think it’s an identical print. I adore the zig-zag wallpaper, anyone know where it’s from? My love for zebra print and my compulsion for orderly, symmetrical patterns have joined [...]

Oomph.

3 Comments Posted by on August 14, 2009

I’m all about this new furniture company Oomph, their brightly colored tables are delicious… look how fabulous this Zig Zag Gimlet table is: Not only are their designs really playful, but you can customize them with different combinations of paint and with textures that include painted raffia, linen or “gator” tops. I don’t know about you, [...]

Shiny new things.

1 Comment Posted by on August 12, 2009

If there’s one thing that I love about August, it’s the crisp pages of Fall fashion magazine issues and fresh racks of clothes getting rolled into department stores. I’m not exactly in need of a back-to-school wardrobe anymore, but I do like to invest in a few new pieces to spice up my closet from seasons past. This [...]

Yellow Windows.

1 Comment Posted by on August 10, 2009

I was delighted today to open up Design*Sponge‘s site and see a sneak peek of Mara Zepeda’s home. The whole tour is great, but the real draw for me is the yellow painted window frames in her living room.  I never would have thought to paint the window frames a different color, to me, they’re always [...]

Mean Girls.

How bratty do these little girls in the new J.Crew Crewcuts campaign look? Future mean girls in the making, for sure. They’re getting a head start by dressing the part, the crewcuts accessories are fabulous! I think the necklaces  would fit even grown up mean girls, a cheaper alternative to their adult line, only $14.50!

Snakes on a table.

3 Comments Posted by on August 6, 2009

This snakeskin table, featured on Shelter, is to-die-for. It’s a really simple shape, but the texture and pattern make it look so glamorous and luxe. Though it’s been awhile since I’ve decoupaged, I think I could pull of an easy DIY by covering a craigslist find with some inexpensive snakeskin embossed wrapping paper to recreate the look, what [...]

Need a drink?

1 Comment Posted by on August 6, 2009

My post this week about my bar set up got me thinking about some other fun ways to spice up a bar area for entertaining. I love the idea of turning a small bookcase into a bar by adding some glass racks and wine cradles like this one featured on ApartmentTherapy: This industrial looking bar [...]
