{Love that pink and green} I started shopping at the fabulous One Kings Lane more than a year ago and have scored some seriously fabulous deals. But even better than the deals are the home artisans, designers, and companies to which I’ve been introduced, and Pomegranate, Inc. is the latest in a long list. A [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Pretty Cloth Napkins

I like dressing up my table, even for a not-so-quiet weeknight dinner of red sauce pasta and sausage.  And there’s something about a cloth napkin that adds a little pretty to your place setting, even if you choose to eat from a TV tray.  Here are some of my favorites…what are yours? West Elm Yarn [...]

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 [...]

Fretwork Tray Table

Trays are awesome.  Tray tables are even better.  But an elegant white table with fretwork detail and a mirrored tray that looks like it should cost way more than $69.99?  Sign. me. up. Image credit: Country Living Antique White Finish Wood Tray Side Table from Kmart

I am so done with rectangular placemats on my round kitchen table.  It drives me nuts.  Just NUTS.  But a standard issue round tablecloth is a no-go either with my two jumping bean boys who would most certainly rip the thing off, dinner plates included, the first minute I put in on. But a chalkcloth tabletop?  I [...]

I heart Fred.

We gave these to my stepmom for Christmas.  Aren’t they great?  I almost kept them for myself, but decided that would be so un-Christmasy. I’ve seen the clever products from Fred&Friends for many years, but this was the first time I bought.  I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Image credit: M-Cups [...]

iittala Taika Dinnerware

Last year I was out with three of my best girlfriends, cruising Beacon Hill, pretending to be Ladies Who Lunch instead of Ladies Who Make Lunch, when I spotted this gorgeous iittala pattern, Taika, at one of my favorite shops.  I scooped up a mug immediately and have fantasized since then about owning service for four.  Maybe for my birthday?  [...]
