I'm a NC transplant from the sunny climes of California. My husband and I bought a 1960's split level outside Raleigh, NC and we're slowly fixing + decorating our little hearts out.
Our pup, Burt Reynolds, sometimes gets shipped to day camp. He loves it. Our camp even has web cams so you can peek in on him. That's him, front and center in front of the blue ramp. He comes home absolutely exhausted and goes straight to the crate to sleep.
He's heading there this weekend for an over night stay while we move into the new house.
I am very sad to learn that Domino is ceasing publication after the March issue. I really enjoyed it each month. Much of their items are out of my reach for budgetary reasons but it's a great source of inspiration.
I saw this painting at a craft fair back in SF before we moved. The 49 Mile Scenic Drive signs are Bay Area icons. Even though we're landlocked here in North Carolina we can have a slice of the City in our lives. Going on the 2009 Christmas list! Available here.
Even though I am a tad too young to have enjoyed these songs on their original go-round, these Valentines are clever. The Cure one is my fave. Via AT and Sunset.
I came across this awesome china cabinet and matching buffet and mirror at a consignment store in Cary. Both were on sale so I went ahead and bought them! It has a bit of a glam/Hollywood Regency look to it. Not sure what kind of dining set will match...but I'll keep my eyes peeled!
We're counting down to our closing date (Jan 26th!!) and my mind is filled with ideas and possibilities for our house. Apartment Therapy is one of my major sources for inspiration. From there, I came across this awesome Chicag0 shop, The White Attic, is filled with the very items I'd love to incorporate into my home. A little 70's, a little mid-century modern. I especially love the chain-link print fabric on those arm chairs.
I saw this bag via EmilyStyle from Etsy and I really like it. I am in the market for a new tote and this fits the bill. I was going to go with something patent leather and cheap from Marshalls or TJ Maxx but I may reconsider.
Anthropologie is a cruel mistress. They make adorable stuff, but the quality's really not there. I bought a sweater (at full price, something I never do) and it pilled up after about 5 wears. I wonder if their furniture is any better. This cutie chair is 50% off, but still obscenely pricey.
