Wists Wish List
I’ve been exploring WordPress a bit, creating extra pages and setting up new features. While I was playing around, I set up a page with the 20 most recent items that I’ve added to my wish list at wists.
You can check it out here.
The reason I’m sharing is not because I’m trying to surreptitiously […]
The Bench I Want
That’s the Simone Bench, which can be custom upholstered and is on sale at Ballard Designs for $200. I’d love the bench with Rose Checker fabric by Hable Construction. Alternately, I would also looooove the following:
Sky Collection: Pie in the Sky, from Vanessa Arbuthnott

Take that, Blogger!
p.s. Let me know if you want a sneak peek. I could use some feedback.
Orleans Rug
I thought I could cross something off my list already, but now I’m not so sure.
The new rug in that last photo happens to be the Orleans Rug from Crate & Barrel. I’m smitten.
The problem is that it’s not really big enough for the living room.
It would be gorgeous in the 8×10 size, but […]
