Halloween celebration decorations.
Posted by on October 25, 2011
Somehow Halloween snuck up on me this year, is it really the end of October already? To get in the holiday spirit I’ve rounded up a few seasonal decor items to give your place a dash of ghoulish party atmosphere. The glittery hanging bats from West Elm are my absolute favorite!
Design*Sponge Event.
Posted by on September 15, 2011
Last night I stopped by West Elm after work for the Design*Sponge book signing. Grace did a DIY workshop on personalizing napkins with freezer paper stencils — one of the crafts in the new book. I made a pair with my initials on it (Warning family and friends: monogrammed dinner napkins may be coming your way this holiday season!). It was awesome to meet Grace — I have to admit, I was a bit starstruck meeting her; she’s one of the first bloggers that I started to read regularly. She was as warm and nice in person as she seems from reading her blog. And the book looks awesome, I’m so excited read it!
You had me at hello.

I came home to a nice stack of catalogs in the mail tonight, and I’m excited by their covers. J.Crew is looking sharp with that graphic shirt — I’m a sucker for stripes — and I’m loving the soft lavender and pink hues matched with the bold black and white. And West Elm’s cover also popped! Chalkboard paint? Check. Globe? Check. Dashes of bold yellow? Check. Good job West Elm & J.Crew, you had me at hello.
West Elm + Etsy event recap.
Posted by on October 19, 2010
I wanted to share a recap of the great event I attended last week at the Boston West Elm. The event, hosted at West Elm with Patch NYC and several local Etsy designers was a total success, I had so much fun with girlfriends sipping on cocktails, indulging in h’ors d’oeuvres, and going on a mini shopping spree. It was quite a festive occasion — I loved the wooden faux-chandeliers decorating the store:
One of my favorite Etsy vendors was Earmark Invitations, in addition to their gorgeous stationery they colorful pencils with funny sayings on them like “Stay Classy” and “I’m kind of a big deal” — I snagged a set of them for myself and got a few for Christmas presents too!
Another vendor with adorable creations was eclu, their flower pins were artfully displayed on a dress form — I can’t resist the color-coding!
Plus I checked out some of the West Elm products — they have amazing seasonal displays, lots of yellow and gray, and dashes of chevron here and there:
I managed to hold back on the chevron but couldn’t resist some citron … I came home with a new tray to corral my mail and the super cozy chunky tassel throw that I blogged about last week…
Heart handmade.

I’m super super excited for the West Elm + Etsy pop up shop in Boston tonight and am especially excited to see artist Leah Giberson and her paintings. I’m a huge fan, I hope I can muster up the courage to introduce myself! This is one of my favorites:
Common cold.
Posted by on October 13, 2010
I’ve come down with an awful cold. Thank you, change of seasons, for this little gift. All I want to do is snuggle up under a cozy blanket with a stack of magazines. I think a fashionable throw just might be a cure for the common cold…. any of these will do:

The great table hunt.
Posted by on January 31, 2010
I spent the greater part of this weekend searching for end tables for my living room, and the hunt was incredibly unsuccessful! Everything I found was either way too low and modern, or way to big and bulky. Two TJ Maxxs, HomeGoods, Pier1, West Elm, and I came home empty-handed. Well, almost empty-handed… I did score two West Elm crewel Kenya Pillow Covers for 65% off.
My dream end tables would like this one from Domino’s February 09 issue… but the problem with having a dream table in mind is that they are impossible to find! My hunt continues…
