Think pink.

2 Comments Posted by on February 10, 2010

It takes some serious guts to paint all of your kitchen cabinets pink. I once painted the bathroom in my parent’s house this exact color. Let me just tell you, it gets old fast. My Dad is color blind, thank God. via BeachBungalow

Life without TV.

3 Comments Posted by on February 9, 2010

Our TV broke this weekend… about 10 minutes before guests were supposed to arrive to watch the SuperBowl. Impeccable timing! Luckily we have friends that live nearby who graciously hosted us last-minute. Crisis-averted, but we’re still sans TV and last night was a true test of our ability to avoid boredom. I made a pizza, caught [...]

Design snobs.

1 Comment Posted by on February 9, 2010

I’m not afraid to admit this, I’m a snob. I turn my nose up at Wal-Mart, us snobby folks and design lovers are Target faithful. Wal-Mart must be taking notice of our design-snobby-wallets though; I’m shocked to see some really adorable furniture featured on their web site; I’m swooning over this desk, AND over the [...]

Budget baubles.

I spent a nice little afternoon with my gal friends browsing the mall on Saturday. We popped into Old Navy so I could return a shirt and was delightfully surprised to see that they’ve introduced a line of jewelery! Most of the pieces were really great knock-offs of the stuff J.Crew and Banana Republic have [...]

Fashion touchdown.

1 Comment Posted by on February 7, 2010

I’m gearing up for the SuperBowl this afternoon, and am mostly just rooting for buffalo wings and blue cheese. Also looking forward to sound bites from Kendra Wilkinson and Kim Kardashian on E! news tomorrow — trash talking their significant others teams, loves me some celebrity banter. We’re just staying in with some friends tonight, [...]

Back on the runway 4

1 Comment Posted by on February 5, 2010

Last night’s episode of Project Runway was wrong, just wrong. It was a massive corporate branding orgy. I get the whole ”for a good cause thing” but the cause was heavily over-shadowed by tacky, shiny, red fabrics that were paired with Campbell’s branded quilting cotton.  Oh and guest judge Georgina Chapman? She’s Harvey Weinstein’s wife, a co-producer of [...]

Color inside the lines.

2 Comments Posted by on February 3, 2010

Stenciling has such bad connotations of early 90′s floral borders and sponging techniques. But I’m enthralled by this new book that came out, Stencil 101 Décor and ready to give stencils another chance. If anything is cheap and temporary, it’s paint. I love the look of wallpaper, but have you ever tried to remove wallpaper? [...]

Show your stripes.

I noticed during my venture to West Elm this weekend that their Spring collection was drawing a lot of inspiration from the recent Dwell lines. The people at Dwell might not be so thrilled, but I’m all for the knock-offs — I’ll take all the gray stripes I can get… via Dwell, West Elm via [...]

Grammy thoughts.

4 Comments Posted by on February 1, 2010

I missed  the Grammys, but have been perusing all of the red carpet galleries… here are my thoughts… She had a baby like 6 seconds ago, seriously, is she human? Perfection. Lea Michele hits it out of the park again. Who is her stylist? Give her number to Miley. First reaction: toothpaste commercial. Shit. She [...]
