Parenting a toddler is an exercise in spotting potential hazards in every room you enter. Sharp edges, edible objects, power outlets, anything breakable, anything climbable, anything electronic, anything white… I spied this hand-carved accent table and immediately was smitten for its lack of corners.
After a long, rainy winter, my backyard is in shambles. I love to garden, but I haven’t had any time to devote to it and it’s a disaster. I really need an outdoor makeover show to swoop in and unleash a celebrity landscape architect on the space to turn it into a magical wonderland of cozy nooks, lush foliage, and perfect grass. Can we make that happen?
This vintage card catalog made me time-warp back to high school study halls. I can only hazily remember those hours of doodling in the margins of spiral notebooks, running a yellow highlighter over passages of text, and tapping equations into a scientific calculator whose buttons would baffle me today. But the thought of sitting at a desk in a library for an hour with no electronic distractions seems so incredibly soothing and peaceful to me now. Wow, I really need to put away the iPhone.
It’s time to move up in the world of bedroom furniture. After years of sleeping in the company of mismatched Ikea bedside tables, a West Elm dresser, and a Crate & Barrel bed, I’m ready to splurge. The Grove Collection in walnut from Room & Board is gorgeous, and I want it, bad.
This post on Etsy has me seriously considering a librarian make-over, complete with pencil skirt and horn-rimmed glasses. While this piece is technically a vintage dentistry cabinet from the 1920s, it’s reminiscent of those lovely old card catalog cases. Yes, please!
