3 Rug Options from Anthropologie...

You know, the closer I get to moving out and really NEEDING to buy furniture, the more indecisive I get.  A rug is one thing. I need a couch.  Who wants to pick one for me?

3 I'm Off...

To VEGAS!!!


I'll be taking a little blogging break for the next few days to join by best friends from New Orleans in Vegas...I'm super excited.
 So in addition to my birthday, guess what else happened this week?  I hit 2,000 posts on the blog and 1,000 followers on Twitter! Crazy!  


This image is not of Vegas, but I've been meaning to post it.  I think it is AMAZING.  It's the crater lake of Maly Semyachik Volcano.  The azure blue coloring is caused by the acidic water.  Found thanks to The Vamoose.

7 This Apartment Makes Me Ridiculously Happy:

I don't even know what else to say.  That first image is so going on my inspiration board for my next apartment.

0 Brevity Lines

I adore the Lines collection of necklaces from Brevity. Inspired by Native American symbols and the simple elegance of a line.  These totally could have been part of my inspiration board for my studio apartment.

3 Pedlars = Awesome

I should do a word count on the number times I use the word awesome on this blog.  I say it a lot in real life too.  In fact, I talk pretty much just like I write, short and to the point...except sometimes I get off track and mumble on and on...um anyway.

This store Pedlars is awesome.  These vintage yellow warehouse lights are awesome, that turquoise bakelite thermometer is awesome, those canteen utility chairs are awesome, and so is this sleeping bag.


If I ever won the lottery I would clean this place out.

Found thanks to the awesome Black Eiffel.

1 Boxes from the Harbinger Company

These wooden boxes with cutout lids from the Harbinger Company are kinda fantastic.  They would make a great gift...

I like the way these bookshelves from Real Simple are styled...

2 Claridges Hotel

I agree, Claridge’s Luxury Hotel is an extremely well branded company. This is basically perfection in my mind: bold black and white graphics, modernity, and sophistication.  The branding was done by Construct, a design boutique in London...check out the rest of their work here.

Found thanks to Twig and Thistle.
