I wanted this. Pottery Barn’s Bedford Project Table retailing for $1099. But that seems like an insane amount of money to spend on a craft desk, when we’ve got 2800 sq feet that needs functional furniture as well. So… yeah. Time to be inventive!
Luckily we opted for swedish meatballs for [...]
I must admit that I never had any preconceptions about color for the craft room. I just knew that it MUST have color, and that the color would be fun and not highlight the brown carpet. But soon after I picked up a color sampler of Pottery Barn’s Benjamin Moore paint [...]
I knew that Kate Spade was opening a store up in our old apartment stomping grounds of Roseville, but I had no idea that Sacramento was getting a double dose of the insanity… with another store at the ubiquitous Arden Fair mall! Heck, the first LA store is JUST opening up [...]
I had to miss my first adult-friend baby shower (hi Kate!) on Saturday due to a wedding in the opposite direction at the same time… but I made sure I sent a fun present in my absence. Meet Ollie! Sorry… I just couldn’t bare to give something practical… I just [...]
We were 1-year apart at UCLA. My sorority and her boy’s fraternity were joined at the hip. I worked with at least 5 of her sorority sisters at any given time. We are both f-ball/b-ball obsessed. And yet… our paths never crossed… that we can remember.
Instead, it [...]
Young Me/Now Me is an awesome idea (formerly a contest) where participants recreated childhood (or just old) photos of themselves and paired the old/new together for a neat result.
Now I need to start digging through old photos [...]
No matter who you’ll be voting for in November, this is an awesomely designed poster for any candidate. It’s available for a $70 campaign donation (LE of 5000… 700 have already been sold!) which is a pretty swag prize if you ask me. Much better than the mug or [...]

Giant reclaimed wood blocks have been coated in pure silver; the result is visible wood grain with a metallic sheen and a few intriguing spots of oxidation. A clear coat finish prevents further oxidation.
I’m sending the photo and the table to my brother for insight… [...]
There is something cute, yet also very demented, about this Toy Story-ish lamp from SUCK UK. I’m not sure if it would fit into most people’s decor, but it might work in a craft room?
As you can tell… I’m a drink maven. That being said, I loathe “plain” water. I can sip it and deal with it from a public fountain if the conditions warrant, but otherwise I stay the heck away from it. I can easily identify bottled waters by their distinct tastes, so I [...]
I’m seriously craving Vietnamese Spring Rolls right now. The worst part, is that I have no idea if our local market carries the rice paper wrappers or vermicelli, but I will adore the Nugget even more if I discover the ingredients today. For me… it’s really the mint that makes [...]
After living in the guest bedroom for two weeks, we finally made the big move upstairs after purchasing our new Simmon’s Beautyrest mattress on Friday night.
While I thought sleeping on the bed was sublime enough… our new sheet purchase topped off the experience and made it heavenly. We bought these
