Double Take: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

August 26th, 2008 · 11 Comments

It’s time for another reader suggestion: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Thanks to e-mails from readers BreAnne and Erin, I rented this movie just so that I could see Jessica Biel’s apartment. Erin even has plans to redecorate her own home based on this movie, so hopefully we can help her out.

If […]

Tori & Dean’s House

August 19th, 2008 · 8 Comments

We watched a mini marathon of Tori & Dean Home Sweet Hollywood tonight. What an endearing couple! They just moved into a newly renovated house in the midst of giving birth to their baby girl, Stella.

The beauty of White Forest Pottery

August 12th, 2008 · 10 Comments

We’re blessed to have our Mum here with us for two weeks while she visits from Australia. I’m very close to her — more like friends than a mother and daughter as I can tell her anything and she is there for me during my highs and lows. It was her birthday recently so we […]

Warm white accents

August 1st, 2008 · 7 Comments

White rooms instantly make me feel calm but there is a fine line between them being either cold and unapproachable or warm and inviting. If you’re too scared to sit down in the fear that you’ll mark the sofa or feel confined to one spot on the floor then there is a good chance that […]

Banquettes

July 18th, 2008 · 13 Comments

I perused the surprisingly up-to-date magazines at the doctor’s office this morning (just a check-up, nothing serious) and noticed the long banquette seating in a kitchen featured in this month’s Metropolitan Home. This magazine doesn’t usually make it to my nightstand because it’s geared toward an audience with a much larger budget. But I did […]

EDIT your look

July 11th, 2008 · 7 Comments

We see so many shows and articles about editing your wardrobe down to 10 essential items (can you hear Tim Gunn’s voice?). If there were a home decor equivalent then I think EDIT would be the perfect source. Located in the Sydney suburb of Paddington, this gallery is filled with reupholstered pieces in the most […]

June 25th, 2008 · 10 Comments

Why has it taken me so long to find the Condé Nast store? I checked in with one of my favorite blogs last night, sfgirlbybay, and Victoria wrote this great post about vintage wall posters.

Dressing your table with lace

June 24th, 2008 · 9 Comments

Do you remember the lace mats featured in Blueprint earlier this year? I try not to hoard too many magazines but Blueprint is a keeper — for the content, exquisite layout, and font selection (appeals to the graphic designer in me). So last night I flipped through an old issue and was reminded by how […]
