I just love Pottery Barn. Okay, I know you are thinking, "They are so expensive and everybody loves PB, so how is that at all original?" I agree. I don't want a house that looks like a Pottery Barn store threw up in it, but PB gives those of us with modest budgets the opportunity to purchase decent quality, well-designed furnishings. And right now, they have jumped on the cliche "green" bandwagon. While I am a total proponent of sustainable living and all that it entails, I am personally sick of seeing the "green" thing everywhere. However, the one fabulous benefit of it is that PB has
actually incorporated the color green into its designs this season and the result is
magnificent—all sorts of shades of green and frankly, I am drooling. I just went to the mailbox and pulled out their latest catalog and this is the cover beauty shot. I am in heaven.
Part of my lust after this vignette is sentimental, I must admit. My grandmother loved green and yellow and all my life her home was decorated in shades of those wonderful spring colors. The colors used in this photo are very reminiscent of the particular shade she seemed to love most. She was also a fabulous interior designer and I think she would highly approve of the styling depicted here. This photo reminds me so much of her. I miss her.
p.s. Did you notice I changed the blog's background color? I am ready for Spring(:
Beautifully styled shots like this make me warm and toasty inside. Is that weird? I don't care. And that gray green paint color? Sublime...thinking lower kitchen cabinet color. What's that you say? This from the crazy girl who is always posting pictures of all white kitchens? Well, the upper SHELVES will be white--along with the subway tile and the gorgeously gray-veined carrera marble countertop. To dream, to dream.
We're getting ready to do a little patio reno in the back yard so I've been browsing for a table to put between our two adirondack chairs. I just found this and LOVE IT!
I love this bag. I want this bag. What is it you ask? It's the Hau Hauz Jive Bag I found at Huset. It will be going on the greedy slob list.
This is so adorable and creative. It's the Owyn Toybox from modmomfurniture. I love the way the leaf shape come off so you can get inside. A beautiful design for the kids' room or even the living room. Love it! (And, of course, I love the name...and the spelling is cool, too!)
