Meet Bake It Pretty. A shop devoted to inspired baking supplies and adornments. Within the walls of her shop, owner Amanda has managed to include not only one but two of my vices: pretty packaging and nostalgic candy. The only question is which to order first!
Posted In kitchen, packagingThis room is the ultimate everything. Comfort zone. Escape. Sanctuary. The worn, covered furniture, the gauzy sheers and the door thrown wide open with a cool breeze floating gently through the room. I’m pretty sure I could get a lot accomplished here… mainly naps!
Posted In house and homeI love how MayLuk Ceramics collection reflects the artist’s love of illustration and type. Great color choices and a whimsical feel that I love.
Posted In kitchenI love having fresh herbs to cook with in my kitchen. Unfortunately I’m not growing any myself at the moment, but I do buy them at the grocery store with the roots still intact. The problem is that I never ever use them all at once and despite my best efforts to keep the little guys fresh and alive I always fail.
Enter the Herb Keeper. Iteep fresh herbs or asparagus crisp and green longer than refrigeration by immersing the stems in water. Large capacity keeper fits in most refrigerator doors.
This bedroom is the picture of relaxation and escape. A big, fluffy white bed. Airy white sheers. Pale walls with a few sparse accents. And oh yes, that french press full of coffee sitting on the bed… who wouldn’t want to wake up to that every single morning?

I’m really jazzed about this week’s giveaway from CSN Lighting! I can hardly stand it because one of you have the chance to win this insanely awesome post-modern George Kovacs Grid Pendant.
For nearly half a century, George Kovacs’ name has been synonymous with 20th century contemporary lighting design. His skill resided in his ability to fuse clean, beautiful lines with abstract form, creating unique products that were both modern and classic. George Kovacs was the innovator responsible for the birth of this unique style, a style that changed the course of industrial lighting design in America.
For many years, George Kovacs designed and manufactured his products from his own Brooklyn-based facility but in 2000 he sold his studio, designs and naming rights to lighting manufacturer the Minka Group. He was truly a legend whose work stands as a testament to his genius; his ceiling lights, table lamps, and floor lamps are all timeless pieces that remain true inspiration to contemporary designers.
To Enter:
1. Tell me what area of your home needs a little light brought into it
2. Leave a valid email address where you can be contacted (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, July 13th at noon CST
Good luck! And take a look around CSN’s site because they have a huge selection… I’m eyeing this and this!

As if their incredible aluminum bottles weren’t enough, SIGG now offers these too good to be true Snack Boxes. Made out of the same aluminum as the bottles, the rubber seal and snap locks on these sardine-like containers keep everything fresh and leak free. Personally, I’d like to put them to work in my studio for storing small odds and ends!
I don’t think I could be any more into the haphazard girly look of this boudoir. It just looks so lived in with the shutters thrown wide open, the clothes and shoes situated all about and the frames all but falling off the walls. The pink upholstered bed coupled with the chandelier give everything that extra princess-y touch. And that random bathtub? Love it.

I’ve been lusting after Cuisinart’s Brew Central and it’s vintage look for years. Macy’s was having a huge sale this weekend and I snapped one up for a great deal! And she’s not all looks – this lady can brew a mean pot of coffee, too.
