How stunningly beautiful is this chair? If I wasn’t a glutton for punishment who enjoyed being a man-cave widow while my husband spends hours on end in his workshop slaving away on our many many (too many) DIY projects for our little girl’s nursery, then I would certainly be in a bidding frenzy over this vintage (yet newly upholstered) Danish-made… Read more →

Summertime Blues
My patio furniture is falling apart. This is particularly upsetting to me, because I love my patio furniture. And since the entire fourth wall of our living/dining room is glass that looks out onto our little tiny yard (and since our living room has now become my office) I spend 70% of the day staring right at the now-decrepit vintage… Read more →
Let the fun begin.
Our crib hacking adventure has begun, and I’m so excited about the prospects of positive results, I can’t wait until we have a finished product to share our progress. It all started one afternoon while I was helping Sara convert her Baby Mod Parklane Crib (which I’ve always been a fan of) into a Toddler bed. I was rattling off… Read more →
So Pretty. So Unnecessary.
I really dig this magazine rack. I came across it today while searching for a simpler version to house my never ending pile of old mags that I don’t have a clue what to do with. (I suppose that recycling them would be a good place to start…but what if someone needs to look back on when Britney met KFed?… Read more →
Things that arrived in the mail.
Part of cleaning out our “nursery” has included a massive sell-off of everything we’re not using. It’s been a while since I’ve spent some real time on eBay or Craigslist, but in the last few weeks I’ve been a selling/trading/bidding madwoman and we’ve been able to buy just about everything we needed for the office/nursery switchover from the money we’re… Read more →
Expedit Prison
That’s the view from my new “office.” We’ve used an Ikea Expedit Shelf as a room divider between the “lounge” and the “living” portion of our main living area since we first moved in. So in order to create an office space that still provided some separation between home and work, we decided to fashion a sort of cubicle… Read more →
The “Before.”
And so it begins. Over the weekend we FINALLY got into the storage room downstairs and were able to commence operation “prepare nursery for baby.” It’s scary shit. The photos above depict both the newly filled storage room, a.k.a. where excess mid-century furniture goes to die (does it make you cringe to consider that all of that crap was somehow… Read more →
Sweet Dreams.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder who they’re marketing towards with modern baby furniture. Like the Ooba Nest Bassinet, for example. Okay Ooba, you got me. I want your bassinet. It’s beautiful, elegant, matches my existing decor, and turns into a toybox/play table when baby is done with it. But you’ve priced it at $800. I feel compelled to ask: … Read more →
It’s a sickness, really.
I effing love me some Home Decor. Maybe it’s because growing up, my Mom was an interior designer (both by nature, and by practice) and was/is constantly bringing home new accessories/swatches etc. to switch out with the old and keep the house “fresh.” When Scott and I moved in together, I went into overdrive. I’m a home furnishings shopaholic, and… Read more →

Sick of Evite? My friend Alex recently invited me to join the Beta of PaperlessPost.com, a site where you can create invitations as beautiful as the printed ones I always drool over, to be delivered online to your friends and family. After checking out some of the design options Paperless Post has to offer, I’m solidly satisfied. (Although I have… Read more →
