Learning My ABCs

I have a new favorite website: ABC home.  I saw their add in Interior Design magazine and the anthropoligie-esque interior photo instantly drew me in.  I just started to skim the surface of their online store and am already in love!  I had to immediately share with you so you can drool along with me!

They have products not only for home but apparel too.  ABC home also offers carpet and is very eco-conscious. Please hop over to their fabulous site here.  You won't be dissapointed!

Rocking Out

I was looking on DWR's sight and stumbled onto their rockers. I love rocking chairs. The rhythmic movement is very lulling and great to relax in. I found two in the more contempory styles DWR likes to showcase and two that didn't quite translate well.


These two looked fairly comfortable and inviting:
These two don't look quite right. The Eames chair looks like it's had wooden skis attached to its legs!

Aluminum Furniture

I was recently contact by a company homedecorations.com who has a variety of interior and exterior items for the home. I found these aluminum pieces of furniture under their outdoor furniture section which I thought were fun and would also look great inside a modern home.
Browse the site for many other good buys on items from bathroom hardware to down comforters.

My Orange Chairs

I have inherited some fabulous chairs from my grandmother. As the years go on I love them more and more.

They are a pair of petite channel back chairs upholstered in a pale orange damask. The slender french legs and scroll arm are finished in a warm tobacco stain. They are finished off with piping at the edges and brass nailheads at the arms and the bottom front of the chairs. The backs are very round and deep so I put some rectangular throw pillows on them, which added a lot of comfort for those hours I spend reading in them or browsing the internet on my laptop.


I was a little iffy about the color a few years ago but now I love them and they look quite perfect next to the bookshelves against the khaki colored walls.

I will need to get them reupholstered someday since our beloved kitty has mistaken these fine chairs for her scratching post a few too many times. Also, since they are many years old, they have started to show general wear and tear around the piping at the edges.


I have no idea how old they are or who made them but I'm determined to do a little research to see what I can find out!

Beyond window shades - it's art!

I have been in love with this product from Delia Shades ever since I clapped eyes on it in a magazine a while back. I think the shades speak for themselves as pieces of art, perfectly shielding light and in turn being illuminated in a pleasing manner.


This is my favorite design, as I have always been partial to white against dark gray, however they are all great designs and range from traditional to contemporary.






They will even put their prints on directors chairs!
