At some point in September of 2009 I discovered the wallpapers by Barneby Gates. I made a mental note to save the website address, write a post and file the info away as “to use” on a project. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to come back to their fabulous papers! Based [...]


I’ve mentioned before that I love Apartment Therapy… today is no exception. The featured house tours are always inspirational, no matter what city’s page you are looking at. One of the tours featured on the site is a look at Antoine Roset’s Union Square loft. I love the living room space — a great mix [...]


There are so many beautiful things out there in the world, i tend to have a (long) running list of my favorites. So, I thought I’d share some of my favorite things that I’ve been thinking about today! The iconic Eames rocking chair. I love it in grey or white. Another favorite classic table! The [...]

(Maybe it was also the cute mix of colors.) Also, like anything with such a specific look, I think I like it best not covering an entire wall. [...]


Happy Friday! I have much posting to do this weekend but for now… a quick shot of color to tide you over! I love this lamp. Small, metallic and available in an array of colors… perfect for adding a small punch of drama to any space! In Chicago,  you can find this Kartell lamp at [...]
