Posted in Antiques, Art, Decor, tagged , , , , , , on February 6, 2012 | 1 Comment »

I love pockets. I wanted my wedding dress to have pockets. Sure it was designed after Grace Kelly’s dress but I wanted pockets. That’s because though I was well-raised and you’d be hard pressed to find someone that enjoys etiquette as much as I – I don’t always behave like I’m supposed to. I should behave like [...]

West Elm currently has their bedding 20% off. Their Organic Ironwork Duvet Set is included and it looks like this. It made me think about Schumacher’s Conundrum in Peacock.

Today, we are getting a special delivery from CB2. They are delivering three Tesso Bookcases and a Peekaboo Console Table. We’re pretty jazzed about it. The Mister and I were in Atlanta and were able to drop by CB2, as hoped. We’ve been looking for some type of storage for the dining room, which has been well documented [...]

Gloria is a beeeeeeeeep

If you heard someone yell “noooooooo” Sunday night, it was me. I’ve been lusting, coveting the Gloria’s Garden rug from Anthropologie for awhile now. We had beautiful wool rugs but we put them in storage because they didn’t match our decided aesthetic. So, we currently have no rug in the dining room and a West [...]

I’m on the lookout for a round table for our dining room. I’m hoping to find one on Craigslist that is just right.
