Shocker. Marimekko at Crate and Barrel.

By
July 12th, 2011

Yeah, yeah. We all know Crate and Barrel carries Marimekko. So when I wandered into C&B the other day I wasn’t surprised to see the smattering of modern textiles. But I’m telling you, they’ve never carried Marimekko like this before. Even if you’re not a huge fan of their Scandanavian […]

Lots of folks were talking about Exit Through the Giftshop last year. Many even gushed that it should win an Oscar. I’m not sure I agree with that assessment, but I do agree with the interest it has sparked in graffiti art and the debate between defacing property and self-expression. […]

While vacationing in Colorado, we spent some time with an old friend of my husband’s, photographer, Karl Wolfgang. After a delicious lunch at Taqueria Nopal and a couple of hours fishing with the kids in a local pond, we had the great fortune to be invited back to Karl’s cabin. Maxing […]

I HATED summer required reading (Johnny Tremain, anyone?). And after last week’s episode I was beginning to feel like Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators was going to be this summer’s required reading.  Plus, after chatting with some of my decorator friends, we all agreed that the show needed a big burst of […]

As many of you know, I am not a reality tv junkie. But tonight was the night I’d been waiting for.  MDD’s was right in my wheelhouse. The DVR was set. The kids were bathed and in bed. Was I disappointed? More like nauseated.

As my good friend used to say […]

Some of you may have heard of my plans to go to the Brimfield Antiques Fair. I’ve wanted to go for years and finally finagled my schedule to get out of town for a few days. After hunting around the Internet, I found very little about what to expect at […]

One of the perks/hazards of doing what I do is falling in love.  Finding the things that make a space really come together excite me, but the real thrill comes in seeing something that stops me dead in my tracks and makes me gasp for air.  Frequently, I not only […]

In your mailbox…today!

This afternoon, while the kids were fighting like two angry cats, I hid in my office and flipped through the new Restoration Hardware Catalog, expecting the usual new Belgian fare. I swear Axel Vervoordt must just want to die – and not in the Rachel Zoe kind of way. Its just a […]

I’m a talker. Not like “loose lips sinking ships kind of talker” but someone who likes to talk and connect. So when I find something great, I gotta talk about it. Most recently, I was educated about Instead – a real eyeopener for me. Holy mackerel. (Never knew I was […]
