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, [...]

Weekend Plans
Posted in Art, Shop It on February 4, 2011 | 1 Comment »
So, what are you up to this weekend? Among the many things on my list — including a project that’s hopefully worthy enough to end up here and going out for a very belated holiday celebration with a gaggle of girlfriends I haven’t seen in months — I’m heading to the book launch of friend, mom and [...]
Punxsutawney Phil and Bucks County Frames

In case you hadn’t heard, Phil predicted an early spring. Yeah, right. {she says, staring at three feet of snow outside her bedroom window} Anyway, Phil isn’t the only good thing coming out of the great state of Pennsylvania these days. On a recent trip to the land of Etsy, one of my pals showed me [...]

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, [...]
Memorializing a Favorite Stuffed Animal
Posted in Art, Kids' Stuff, Reinvent It, Shop It, Walls on January 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
When Weston was a little older than a year, Monkey arrived. It was love at first sight, really. Maybe more for me than Wes at first, but the second I saw that little monkey-shaped bundle of love staring at me from the basket in the toy store I knew we needed to bring him home. Weston and Monkey [...]

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
Posted in Shop It, Tabletop on January 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
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 [...]
Handmade for the Tooth Fairy
Posted in Kids' Stuff, Organization, Shop It on January 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
It only took six years, eight months and a bunch of days, but my little big guy finally lost his first tooth. We (he) had been waiting so long, you would think we – ahem – the Tooth Fairy would have been ready with a super-special $2 bill and a new toothbrush. But instead, our little big guy got two [...]
Because life is too short not to surround yourself with beautiful things.

{For those of you thinking you were going to get a post on some great product or DIY project today, please forgive this brief indulgence…we’ll be back tomorrow with our regularly scheduled programming.} For four days last week, I indulged in my ultimate personal (not to be confused with family) vacation. For four days last [...]
