I AM THE GREATEST BARGAIN SHOPPER ALIVE! After scouring every discount store (TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Ross…) on both east coast and west – I finally found it! My very own Stella McCartney for LeSportsac Mum Tote complete with matching changing pad, bunny charm, and makeup case (as if!) for a mere fraction of it’s original $350 price tag! Thanks to… Read more →

Crap. I’m up against a bunch of crazies.
So, I’d heard a while back (when I first started obsessively stalking baby furniture deals online) that overstock.com had sold the Netto Cub Sleeper (1.0, not 2.0, which is the one I dream about at night) and changer for the insanely low price of $180 and $130 respectively. Considering that the modern lines at Target and Walmart are between two… Read more →
Nesting Fever
My brain is a mysterious beast that’s near impossible to wrangle at times. You might think that all of the redecorating/reorganizing that NEEDS to be done over the next four months would keep my obsessive need for constant change at bay, but looking at paint chips and spending inordinate amounts of time on the DwellStudio site (+ making time sucking… Read more →
Tick Tock
How cool is this clock? From Kailey Hawthorn’s Etsy Shop, it’s hand painted on a record, and I love the retro feel of it. It kinda reminds me of something Peter Max might have done back in the day – only more subdued. Read more →
Oh, Nanna Ditzel.
Nanna Ditzel, Danish design’s leading lady, gives me something else to drool over, with her stunning (and now, quite expensive and hard to find) high chair, circa 1955. I’ve always day dreamed about a few of her wicker egg chairs hanging on the back patio, and (thanks to the always enlightening Alex) I can now add this children’s piece to… Read more →
Swank-City
I stumbled across these swanky bar stools in modernbangalow’s eBay shop. They break down into shippable size, and the starting bid is only $199. You should snag them so I don’t have to…we’re trying to save for a baby here, people. We have a bar in our house (in a little area just south of the front door that we… Read more →
As the world turns…so does your house.
Emma sent this house to me a few weeks ago, and it may be one of my favorite prefab creations yet. I’d actually seen the original rotating house on HGTV, but had somehow missed the fact that Solaleya has made this incredible concept available in a PreFab. These unique homes are very reasonably priced (for home builds only) but lord… Read more →
Vintage Wallpaper
Growing up with parents in the textile and design industries, there were always fun scraps of wallpaper and fabric to be crafted with at my house. (I was always getting in trouble for using Dad’s fabric scissors on Mom’s wallpaper books and whatnot.) As an adult, my love of these items has stayed with me, and I’ve been known to… Read more →
Meta
Scott and I somehow ended up with a fairly extensive collection of Vintage Cameras – only a few of which we actually know how to operate. Some of them are so old they don’t even make the film anymore (which is how I came to spend one pre-wedding day respooling modern film onto old rolls. It actually worked for the… Read more →
Chalkboard Paint
I love Chalkboard Paint. I just gotta figure out where to use it. I especially enjoy the idea of chalkboard painting our fridge…maybe I’ll start with that. (I gotta wonder if it would still be magnetic?) Read more →
