Now you would think with that name the founder would be an honest to goodness Farmgirl, her complete passion for farm grown flowers simply grew organically into a business.  Nope.  Christina, the ‘farm girl’ wanted to start an innovative business ‘that would make a positive impact in the world.’  She had plenty of...

Yes, Lenny.  Yes I am.;) I recently saw him in concert.  Hubby refuses to let me bum rush the stage any longer, but we got as close as I could without disturbing the masses.  He was wearing a snakeskin blazer, a red plaid fabric sash thing that had his right pec hanging out and some crazy ass silver beaded necklace...

These prints from the Artwork Factory popped up on Gilt again.  I love them, funny, irreverent sayings beautifully printed with interesting backgrounds.  This one looks vintage, but the saying is so not.  Might get this for Ethan’s room, makes me giggle. I used a couple of these in the foyer here mixed with vintage...

I had no clue what to do with the silhouettes artist Karl Johnson did of my daughter, Scarlett and my dog, Maverick.  ‘What are you going to do with those?  Where are you going to put that?’  Hubby says when I bring home my latest treasure.  The answer is ‘I don’t know.  Mind your own beeswax!’ They ended up as...

It’s beautiful. I am a self proclaimed bar cart addict.  There is no 12 step program for this particular type of addiction yet I continue to hold out hope;).  This Ken Fulk’s bar cart from Pottery Barn is a STUNNER.  I love everything about it, everything.  Let’s delve, shall we?   The Big Beautiful Wheels!  This baby...

Out and about yesterday I stopped into one the stores I like to visit, West Elm and spied this amazing coffee table.  Check it! West Elm Terrace Coffee Table The website says it’s online only, but I promise it was there in my store, see!  I have mad love for this coffee table for a few reasons. The bottom shelf is a...

I try to design something beautiful every day.  Creating fuels me.  I was so drawn to these dusty pink roses from Trader Joes.  Bought those and tuberose, the rest are clippings from my garden, props to my husband for knowing what to do out there.

We have almost finished the upstairs bathroom remodel.  I can’t believe I was initially against remodeling it!  I didn’t want to put any more money into this house, but my husband made me see the light.  Sometimes he has a good idea or two.;)  Let’s start from the ground up, the floor.  I found this great deal on...

What can I say, I love this store. Wandered in yesterday to return some Dash and Albert rug samples I had borrowed for a client’s house.  And every time I go in I spy something new.  I had seen this wingback chair previously but I hadn’t yet recognized the genius of it… that my friends is a slipcover!  Let me tell you...
