The May/June '08 Cottage Living is crazy awesome.  I ripped out the entire magazine. Literally.

It's May and that can only mean one thing: The Kentucky Derby!  I'd love to have a derby party like the one featured in the the May/June '08 Southern Accents.

It looks like Helena Christensen and Leif Sigersen have started putting together a website for their West Village, NYC shop Butik.  The place looks really sweet.

Rococo at Cooper-Hewitt

I've been traveling for work for the past few weeks.  It seems like I haven't been home in ages and I'm really behind on my blog posts!  Speaking of traveling, Theo and I are going to be in NYC in the next week or so - and the rococo exhibit at Cooper-Hewitt is definitely on my to-do list. Rococo is one of my favorite design movements - so I can't wait to check it out!

Cottage Living Blogs!

Cottage Living is one of my favorite magazines, so I was excited to see they started three new blogs: Dear Cottage Living, Front Burner and The Petal Pusher. Check them out if you haven't already! (Image from Cottage Living, June 2007.)

American Furnishings

Dennis over at American Furnishings wrote to tell me about their new line of vintage industrial furniture, and I'm loving it! They use items found in abandoned factories and re-purpose them into useful everyday items.  Some of their pieces would make amazing butcher's blocks, and I'm thinking of using one of their shelves in Theo's office.
