{Also known as I get lost in pretty design when I’m crabby, but we’re getting to that…} That’s one of my scariest crazy-faces. That’s probably why Dee looks like that. Lindsay of Linz Loves You wasn’t my only companion to the Dwell on Design exhibition. {But she did have the biggest knockers of all my companions. And a Berkeley degree…blah… Read more →

Missed Connections
You: a stunning modern umbrella waiting to be hauled away at the end of Dwell on Design. Me: running late as usual, only making the final hour of DoD today – by the time I saw you from across the exhibition hall I was frazzled, sweaty, and totally unable to connect you with your manufacturer and/or Seller. But I can’t… Read more →
Fab launches. It’s so awesome, I have to go on a shopping strike to survive.
I call these kill-me-in-my-face-I-want-them-now lamps, but Fab has them billed as David Trubridge Designs. I mean, right? And this is just their first week. Gorgeously Stunning Killer Bowls by Kiln Design Studio. Why, yes Planterworx, I will marry you. I swear I don’t work there – I just get this psyched about affordable design. If you haven’t joined FAB yet,… Read more →
Ommmmm.
During my fight with the postpartum monster, our house got a little…out of control. So we’re trying to scale back and get zen every chance we get. Starting with the master bedroom, which was the opposite of relaxing with too-big furniture and laundry and guitars EVERYWHERE. Finally. A little corner of my bedroom. The Zen is beginning to emerge. We’ve… Read more →
I have this thing for Wood.
Ever since I reorganized my files and did it in an color-coordinated and aesthetically pleasing way, I realized that keeping my work space clear and zen is INCREDIBLY helpful to my productivity when there are three people running around my house gossiping about Valley Jewish Geography/Singing the Sesame Street Song at the Top of their lungs/Building Sandboxes ten feet from… Read more →

Okay, I’m Officially Obsessed with Kid Music.
Delilah is a music fanatic, which in turn has made me a music fanatic…for music that gets her going. (OMG, did I tell you we started music class? I HAVE to do a post on the life-threatening cuteness of that.) Anyway, if she sees it, she drums on it, she plays it, she sings it…it’s amazing. I’ll attribute it to… Read more →
Y’all Ready For This?
Have I told you I kind of have a favorite artist? Well, I have a few, because I love me some art, but only if it’s really cool and not pretentious, if you know what I’m sayin’. (I’m saying art people can be pretentious. They know it, we know it, and now it’s been said.) Anyway, I have this… Read more →

Eco Conscious with Style.
{That up there? It’s called the Table Tot from Counter EV and it’s for the kiddos.} In case you haven’t noticed, I’m becoming more and more of a social-media-phile these days. That’s because the more time I spend isolated in my Expedit Prison, the more I really embrace the undeniable fact that social media is awesome. Sure, it has… Read more →
