I’m not really into the whole sports thing, so March Madness sorta flies over my head. That is, until IIDA decided to get in on a little Madness of your own. Vote for your favorite classic chairs and see who wins each bracket to find The. Ultimate. Chair (substitute booming announcer voice here)! Check out [...]
Second Hand Shopping in Salt Lake City – Emilie Jayne
I’m lucky enough to have a few second hand stores right around the corner from me. Emilie Jayne is one of my favorite spots for design shopping. A tiny little shop packed tight with goodies, I make it a habit to stop by every week just to see what is new. I have had particular [...]
The Week in Pictures
We were hit hard by a winter storm, but no matter, my Newfoundland Astrid never met a pile of snow she didn’t like. Luckily, I never met a hot toddy I didn’t like. I tried caviar nails, which I love the look of, but I do not love the feel of snagging my hair in [...]
The Week In Pictures
This week in pictures seemed to have a common theme running through it: red – bloody mary, red brick walls, red art, red chickens, red bottoms, red leaves.

November 2012 Design Magazine Picks
Design Magazines! There seems to be a theme in all of my favorite design magazine picks this month, and it was totally unintentional. In nearly every room is an element of subversiveness. Something a little naughty, playful and unexpected: a peace sign from Elle Decor, a pirate flag, massive tassels, haunted eyes at House Beautiful, [...]
DIY: How to Repair a Scratch in Leather
I think we have all had the heart dropping experience of scratching a piece of leather. It is kind of like the first ding on a new car – the first time you scratch leather it feels like you have been punched in the stomach. But fear not, brave reader. Although leather can’t be technically [...]
DIY Craft: Halloween Graveyard Tombstones
Happy Halloween month! Halloween is my favorite holiday – I love the fantasy and spookiness of it all. Last year I started a Halloween graveyard for the hill on my front lawn. This year I doubled it. I am totally on my way to being the crazy Halloween freak in the neighborhood. And I figured, [...]
