Dachsies and Design

Ribbon.

Want - no, NEED - this ribbon for covering my clothing, pillowcases and pretty much every surface imaginable with. (And it's made with love by THIS awesome blogger).

Nook.

It was hard to get back into blogging mode after my trip to Maine. It was the best weekend I've had in the past six months - total heaven. It made me want to lead a simpler life. But instead- let's debate if this little island set would look cute in my new kitchen. Thoughts? Worth the $300?

Maine.

I'm off to Maine with my best girlfriends for a little holiday. Can't wait to eat lobster, do some dancing and visit the Angela Adams store!!! Until Tuesday my lovelies -- (cute plates via).

Aries.

I'm almost convinced that I'm going to buy this side table for my living room. ALMOST. I'd get it in kinky pink - even though it would be the only bright pink in my living room - but I think I'm okay with that. Thoughts? (And while I'm there I'll have to pick up that bauhaus too!)

New Address.

The move in was a success - nearly. Moments after hitting the highway with a full van of stuff, it started hailing. The rain did not let up - so as we arrived, I waited on the porch with my friend Amanda and my landlord and watched it pour. In between showers we started moving in boxes - so most of my items were a little wet once they were brought inside. It ended up taking the entire weekend to get situated - but I woke up this morning and thought, I AM SO LUCKY! I absolutely love my neighborhood and my apartment. I can't wait to finish up a few more projects and post photos. Woohooo!

It's Time!

It's the big moving weekend. I'll post all about it on Monday. Wish me luck!

Wine-o.

In my last apartment I had a really great looking bar area - which I definitely don't have the space for this time around. But since I do love a good glass of merlot now and again, this wood bar made from an ammunition case would further my motivation to make drinks, not war. Cheers to that.

Little Homes.

Perhaps I should send out these cute little notecards with my new address on them to friends. I will be moving to a kinda famous street by the way - at least in my neighborhood! Hmmm...

Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank is the man.  He designed not only buildings and residences but also their furniture, fabrics, fixtures-and even landscaping-to create a unified whole. I want these glasses from Moma (designed after the Coonley playhouse windows) for a decorative element in my new digs.

Vintage Paper.

I love that I magically stumbled onto this etsy seller that makes adorable little notebooks and journals from vintage notecards and books. Check out her store here.

And today is Beatrix Potter's birthday - Peter Rabbit shout out!
