Here is the powder room - with some more baby shower floral spoils. I got that Venice canal print in 1996 when I went interrailing with my friend Clare after high school graduation.  Fond memories of gelato and water buses.  I just got it reframed (after having it in a crappy IKEA frame since my freshman year of college) and love the way it is looking in the space.

I love this mirrored wall idea. Casey did a similar version in the new Design on a Dime.DIY courtesy of Lonny BlogTrying to figure out where I could do this. Any suggestions? I suppose putting it onto a big piece of plywood wouldn't be a bad idea. Liquid nails on a wall seems like a big commitment. Read more

From overstock.com.Yes, I have the same addiction problem with chairs as I do with lamps. If it were up to me, our house would probably just be a collection of chairs, lamps and throw pillows.

Z Gallerie has some pretty sweet stuff right now. Perhaps it's because they don't send out catalogs (unless I'm missing out on something) but I always forget about Z Gallerie as an option.  Sometimes they can be a little heavy on the bling, but I'm liking some of these silvered pieces in their current collection.Pascual Coffee tableSequoia Console TableFrancesca HeadboardDylan Table Lamp Read more

Are finally complete and more or less populated with books and accessories.  Last weekend was prep and assembly and this weekend was putting everything on the shelves (hence the delay).  Morgan's original instructions were more or less correct. However, I did find a few things to be different in our shelving scenario.  Here are a few things I learned:- The pipe fittings are 1/2" but that is the... Read more

So a while back Scott and I encountered this ridiculous sale at Blick Art Supply. We were in the market for a very large stretched canvas for our living room. The sale was such that the more canvases you bought, the more you saved. We walked out of the store with one 6'x7' canvas and twenty 4"X 4" canvases which cost about 30% less in total than had we bought the large canvas alone. After bringing... Read more

Well, I haven't gotten to posting about our DIY wall shelves that we did over the weekend. Waiting to populate the shelves with books and accessories before I officially unveil them. Along with the shower curtain, we got the final large piece for the baby's room - the Ny Chair Rocker. I was trying to convince myself to go with something more economical but everything out there baby rocker wise... Read more
