Design Love: Structural Chrome
I think I have a new obsession: mid-mod chrome. I was doing some research for a mood board for Korin’s bedroom on etsy and found this fantastic chrome fruit bowl. It reminds me of this West Elm table that I’m planning on putting in the bedroom mood board. Isn’t the bowl fantastic? Don’t buy it though, unless you’re making … Continue reading

Sunburst in My Bathroom!
Remember when I was contemplating re-doing the bathroom? Well, after a few (small) tweaks, I’m perfectly happy with the way it is! Isn’t it funny, how adding just one or two things can make a space feel so much happier? I love having flowers in here, and my mom got me a mini orchid when she … Continue reading

Look What I found!
I found this stunning tablecloth at an estate sale recently. Someone stamped these charming woodland deer and evergreens onto heavy natural linen. I would LOVE to get my hands on these stamps. The stamps look like they have been hand carved onto linoleum block? and then hand inked and stamped. There are 12 linen napkins … Continue reading
