My dining room has the worst 80s lighting fixture, but I’ve had a hard time finding a new chandelier to replace it. I love clean, modern lines, but usually can’t afford the price tags that accompany such designs. Luckily, I stumbled upon this beautiful metal and wood chandelier from west elm.
It’s only $169! That’s a steal compared to some of the pricey lighting I’ve had my eye on. Now, I hope I’m handy enough to install it!
Summer, enough already… I can’t wait for fall. Sweaters and skirts and knee-high boots, hooray! Every year I buy a new pair of boots, and this year I knew exactly what I wanted: camel colored, knee-high, rounded toe, wooden stacked heel, and a sleek but not overly prim look. And then I found them, and they are perfect.
Now, if only the weather would co-operate.
I love this felted corsage, and the picture is gorgeous too. It’s available from papa stour, a site featuring Scottish designers.
I just love them so! They’re available from peek keep, a new shop focused on scandinavian style.
I’ve already mentioned that I think lamps and chairs are sexy. I forgot to add vases to that list though. How could I forget vases? Mmmm.
I am really coveting these American Bungalow Vases right now.
I know, birds are everywhere in design right now. I still love them though!
The funny thing is that I am a little creeped out by real birds – I don’t like their dinosaur-like gross feet. And the pecking! Eeep. But, I still love paintings and illustrations of birds. And I love Amy Ruppel’s work.
Clearly, I am not alone… Her work sells out very quickly. It seems like everytime I get it in my head that ‘today’s the day I’m going to purchase an Amy Ruppel painting’, I can’t find any that are available! Her next sale starts Friday, June 30th at 10am (pacific time) on her site, amyruppel.com. I’m marking my calendar now.
I adore the necklaces at Blend Creations! They’re the perfect mix of minimalism and sleek industrial design, plus ornament and decoration. Case in point, the Washi Pendants:

They also have some beautiful stationery. The Nature Series features delicate prints of plantlife on a natural kraft cardstock.
This may be the cutest perpetual calendar EVER! It’s available at Rare Device.
I absolutely ADORE charm bracelets. I find them, well, charming! I have a silver one that’s coming along nicely, but sometimes it feels a little too precious.
Luckily, there’s So Charmed. She has necklaces and earrings, and even some handbags, but the bracelets are the real show-stoppers. Plus, I’m a sucker for clever names (aren’t you?).
