Time to take a break from “working out” and talk about the things that make our homes special. Whether you’re mid-century or traditional, all of us love to fill our homes with beautiful FURNITURE!
Some of it we collect from estate sales, buy on a whim, get handed down from grandma or pick up off the side of the road. Putting a home together should be fun and for me it has and does take years. I love the look of a home that has morphed over many years of collecting over a home that gets decorated in a weekend from ….

Planters, Lighting, Fans and Floors

I hesitated to do this post, as I feel like I’m a broken record stuck on that part of the song that drives you crazy. Don’t worry, I too am wishing I could move the needle to another part of the record and get over it! (for those of you who don’t remember vinyl… sorry.)

The thing is I really try hard to start a project and stick to it until it’s done. Inch by inch, post by post, I am still “working it out”. Last weekend was a bust and I didn’t get a chance to do much in ….

Parallel Bar – Our Knoll Sofa

posted on October 1, 2012

Well hello! I’m Stacey, it’s nice to be here. Glad you came to visit… I almost forgot I even had a blog it’s been so long since I put my hands on the keyboard or unloaded my camera pics. Ah, life… it’s good… it’s busy and it’s been whipping my butt! Speaking of butt… I thought I’d do a post on one of my favorite spots to park mine. Our Knoll sofa.

Thanks to the many visitors/friends I’ve made over the last 2 years, I get lots of emails and comments about not only our home and the renovation, but ….

Architectural Pottery

posted on September 4, 2012

It’s hard for me to envision a modern space without plants. When I think of the designs of famous architects like Neutra or Eichler, or modern day architects like Austin based Lake and Flato, it’s impossible to imagine these spaces without the beauty of architectural pottery. Their simple, modern, clean lines, unspoiled by fluff or distractions make each plant that resides in them a little more spectacular. An ornate or colorful pot just doesn’t seem to fit in a modern home. These fit, these work, and it’s why I am so proud to have not one but three pieces of ….

digital mags = pretty places

WARNING: Dirty Word Alert! There is one… but it’s relevant.

In the past year I have really gotten into the idea of digital magazines. Subscribing to so many paper publications I inevitably end up with way too many… and then feel guilty about throwing them out. I always try to purge and go through all these beautiful magazines and get them to a recycling center. Technology has really helped me with my ongoing battle and guilt of buying and then throwing away. I’m really trying to think more about what gets thrown into a landfill and what I ….
