Have you heard? Amy Butler’s husband, David, is launching a new fabric line! With three boys in the house (yes, I’m counting the hubs), I’m excited to see his new line of “guy friendly” prints. No website yet, but you can follow the winter introduction of Parson Gray on Facebook.

I’m off to Vermont this weekend for a family wedding (congratulations Lauren and Justin!)…how about you? The wedding is in the north country, so I’ll have lots of time to catch up on reading on the way up and back. It’s been a really long time since I’ve spent hours getting lost in my favorite [...]
Kate Spade at Bed Bath & Beyond

Does it annoy anyone else that “Bed Bath & Beyond” isn’t “Bed, Bath and Beyond”? Just me? Okey dokey. Anyhoo…in case you haven’t heard, Kate Spade has made her way to BB&B. Maybe this is old news, but since I had a temporary absence from the design blogosphere, I missed the announcement until about three [...]
A Touch of Nautical

About this time of year, the stripes start to send signals… …that spring is coming! I love a touch of nautical in my wardrobe, but I’ve always been a bit of sucker for it in my home too. Remember this post? Last fall, I went to the Brimfield Antique Show with my friend Cheri, and I [...]
Currently Coveting

I know it’s a sin, but I’m just not that religious. Here’s what I’m coveting for my home this month…how about you? Casually elegant stemware that can serve up milk or mimosas equally well, fishy rugs, simply beautiful turned wood lamps, the Hans Wegner classic, Michael A. Palmer’s view of the world, [...]
DIY Paint Can Lights

And while we’re on the subject of new lighting… This image, from the Style At Home booth at the Interior Design Show in Toronto, has been floating around the web for the past couple of days. The painted floor is amazing, as is the fabulous bright springy styling — a sign of things to come for [...]
Trashing the Tragic Lighting
Posted in Décor, Lighting, Shop It on February 1, 2011 | 5 Comments »
It’s been about six months since we moved in and I think it’s about time we begin to address the lighting situation. Don’t you? Let’s deal with the kitchen today. Um, just the eat-in area. So here we are (and yes, I know we have to do something about the windows and the walls too, [...]
Catalog Living

Logic quiz: Poor self-image is to fashion magazines as WHAT is to home decor catalogs? I don’t know either, but sometimes I feel like I have it, whatever IT is. Occasionally I get sort of taken over by staging my house…rolling up the throw blankets and storing them just-so in a gorgeous basket (you’re cold? grab one [...]
Seven days, people.

It seems like the school year *just* started. And then it was Halloween. And now, in exactly one week, we’re going to be roasting turkeys, mashing potatoes and generally stuffing ourselves like proverbial pigs seated at gorgeously decorated tables in holiday-decked houses. Oh, what’s that? Haven’t taken down the paper spiders from your window or jack-o-lantern [...]
Working on the Office

The weekend is almost here, and for many of us it’s going to be a nice long one. What are your plans? In between a big family dinner, writing and some good old-fashioned quality time with the kids and hubs, I’m going to be working on our home office. Want a peek at the fabrics? Looks like I’m [...]
