Happy Halloween!!

From my little Pumpkin (and his friends) to you, we wish you a spooktacular Halloween.  We are taking off work a little early to trick or treat.  :)<br /><br />Hope you have a day filled with design tricks and home furnishing treats--and candy!  Boo!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mm3mSDRW4tc/Um_lzxYgcEI/AAAAAAAADmo/Ugni6KflQmQ/s1600/xvintage-halloween-postcards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mm3mSDRW4tc/Um_lzxYgcEI/AAAAAAAADmo/Ugni6KflQmQ/s400/xvintage-halloween-postcards.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AWZaJSN4g2M/Um_l1m-TWmI/AAAAAAAADmw/ldyIcAa223c/s1600/1383319_10152012395749283_1585889058_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AWZaJSN4g2M/Um_l1m-TWmI/AAAAAAAADmw/ldyIcAa223c/s400/1383319_10152012395749283_1585889058_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

Hoo are you going to be for Halloween?!

Hoo!  Hoo!  I almost made my little lady an owl for Halloween.  Instead, I am dressing her up as Frida Kahlo and getting my owl fix with Anthropologie's Wise Ol' Owl Candy dish (now $68, was $129).  I want a piece that will make a statement and serve a function this scary season.  Trick or treat!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RLlKWckim38/Um_kYFFfoiI/AAAAAAAADmM/Rvq_76L2q0I/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-29+at+12.33.35+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RLlKWckim38/Um_kYFFfoiI/AAAAAAAADmM/Rvq_76L2q0I/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-29+at+12.33.35+PM.png" width="270" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-81SKPn1xx6s/Um_kYL_PFQI/AAAAAAAADmQ/GP99R7vSbe8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-29+at+12.33.42+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-81SKPn1xx6s/Um_kYL_PFQI/AAAAAAAADmQ/GP99R7vSbe8/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-29+at+12.33.42+PM.png" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6sTVnyiI5QY/Um_kZPZeJoI/AAAAAAAADmc/wTNmqoTNdTg/s1600/1383772_10151644226902563_1438690879_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6sTVnyiI5QY/Um_kZPZeJoI/AAAAAAAADmc/wTNmqoTNdTg/s400/1383772_10151644226902563_1438690879_n.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

Give That Girl a Break!

For the past week, Kelsey has been designing in NYC all by her lonesome.  She has been busy taking clients while I lounged on the beaches of Southern California.  That gal deserves a break and a strong cocktail.  She could mix a delicious one at Overstock's Sterling Sterling Black Bar (was $409, now just $282).  Make hers a double!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQrmZhKsJxo/Uk8xzZO7I9I/AAAAAAAADk4/qNeHZq44NZI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+5.20.49+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQrmZhKsJxo/Uk8xzZO7I9I/AAAAAAAADk4/qNeHZq44NZI/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+5.20.49+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FClCdApC3O0/Uk8xzbFvRGI/AAAAAAAADk8/NpoAIoiKrhc/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+5.21.01+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FClCdApC3O0/Uk8xzbFvRGI/AAAAAAAADk8/NpoAIoiKrhc/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+5.21.01+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iepEvSwDafg/Uk8xzabWybI/AAAAAAAADk0/ODMq4RVNcUY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+5.21.10+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iepEvSwDafg/Uk8xzabWybI/AAAAAAAADk0/ODMq4RVNcUY/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+5.21.10+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div>

Gather Some Moss

I don't want to be a rolling stone because, as we all know, it gathers no moss.  And I want to gather CB2's Club Moss Sofa.  Sure, with its shocking green color, it's a whole lot of look.  But it's not a whole lot of money at $1019 (was $1199).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qptLxLLzXyw/Uk8wA_gavGI/AAAAAAAADkQ/Am9P9RWd3GY/s1600/club-moss-sofa-with-piping-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qptLxLLzXyw/Uk8wA_gavGI/AAAAAAAADkQ/Am9P9RWd3GY/s400/club-moss-sofa-with-piping-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T17sB5_p9ac/Uk8wBB1XMPI/AAAAAAAADkY/MYgCwXpFVs8/s1600/club-moss-sofa-with-piping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T17sB5_p9ac/Uk8wBB1XMPI/AAAAAAAADkY/MYgCwXpFVs8/s400/club-moss-sofa-with-piping.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

Happy Columbus Day!

Just like Christopher Columbus so many years before me, I am navigating the globe this week.  I am visiting Beverly Hills with my husband on a long vacation.  But, don't worry, clients and friends.  Kelsey is still in the office, designing up a storm this holiday week. <br /><br />Happy Columbus Day from us to you!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vMX8I4cn8oU/Uk8w1y7gF_I/AAAAAAAADkk/X2gObtWvdbk/s1600/beverly_hills_sign1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vMX8I4cn8oU/Uk8w1y7gF_I/AAAAAAAADkk/X2gObtWvdbk/s400/beverly_hills_sign1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-COwZmaNLdaM/Uk8w5BGxR-I/AAAAAAAADks/7n0uucdHh3M/s1600/christopher_columbus_voyages.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-COwZmaNLdaM/Uk8w5BGxR-I/AAAAAAAADks/7n0uucdHh3M/s400/christopher_columbus_voyages.gif" width="400" /></a></div>

Get Growing

I do not have a very green thumb.  We have one plant in our house, and it has seen better days.  Perhaps it would flourish if we put it in VivaTerra's Mini-Garden Terrarium?!  It's worth a try at $45 (was $119).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mEs4TGH278g/Uk8pbwuxMII/AAAAAAAADjw/_IvSYOp8gxg/s1600/zm_sp12_ge_45100996-a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mEs4TGH278g/Uk8pbwuxMII/AAAAAAAADjw/_IvSYOp8gxg/s400/zm_sp12_ge_45100996-a.jpg" width="358" /></a></div>

Happy Birthday, Baby!

Yesterday was my husband's birthday.  I was too busy baking his Star Wars cake to blog about it.  But I have a bit of time now to write and reflect.  In retrospect, instead of getting him a spare set of house keys as a birthday gift (I am SO romantic), I would have gotten him Uncommon Good's Love Is Art Kit.  Sure, it's not on sale ($60).  But I have been inspired to create ever since Monday's blog post, and this might just be a perfect outlet.  What do you say, Birthday Boy!?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y0fVXrde1vY/Uk8lzOTbwdI/AAAAAAAADjU/jpb732xqFT4/s1600/Empire+Cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y0fVXrde1vY/Uk8lzOTbwdI/AAAAAAAADjU/jpb732xqFT4/s400/Empire+Cake.jpg" width="372" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D41-HjC4vd4/Uk8l7NXvM6I/AAAAAAAADjk/6Q9jPJyo00c/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+4.28.43+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D41-HjC4vd4/Uk8l7NXvM6I/AAAAAAAADjk/6Q9jPJyo00c/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+4.28.43+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l83_GIMOO5U/Uk8l6QQlsEI/AAAAAAAADjc/oSv0Uq0UA34/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+4.28.59+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l83_GIMOO5U/Uk8l6QQlsEI/AAAAAAAADjc/oSv0Uq0UA34/s400/Screen+Shot+2013-10-04+at+4.28.59+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
