  • Pink Moroccan Pouf

    Pink Moroccan Pouf

    Ahhhh. I’m loving my new pouf. It is SO nice to be able to prop my feet up, AND it looks cute in the room.

    I ordered my Moroccan Pouf from John Derian, but honestly I should have probably gone with the less expensive pouf from Tazi. I was fixated on the more expensive one, mostly because of this photo from Domino. I felt like I knew what to expect and I didn’t know if the other would look the same… though it probably would have. So I do feel a bit foolish now for spending so much on a footrest, but oh well. I do like it quite a bit.

    I’ll post proper photos soon… it takes a bit of work to get the room ready to photograph and I’ve been so very tired lately.

  • Pink Painted Dresser

    The dresser for the nursery is finally finished. I never took a true ‘before’ shot, but it was a lovely wood dresser with a poor finish. It was in our garage for a while and then it sat primed in the basement because I wasn’t sure what color to paint it. White would have been a nice, safe choice, but I think pink is much more fun (especially since we left the walls of the nursery neutral).

    The doors in the front open to reveal two more drawers. They’re still the original wood color for now, though Brandon thinks they’re a good opportunity to add another (brighter/bolder) color.

    I lined the drawers with the crazy lady floral wallpaper that I bought for the dining room (and did NOT use). The teeny tiny baby clothes look really sweet against the lining.

    The Madeline Weinrib rug is now in place, zigging and zagging it up.

    The room suddenly looks very pink. Maybe that’s a stupid thing to notice, seeing as how the walls are painted pink, but WOW the rug makes a big difference.

    Of course, we had to keep Murray’s little fluffy rug.

    Hopefully we’ll have time to hang our wallpaper soon in the dining room. I think the new rug might look good in there too, or in the bedroom. I’m happy with it in the living room for now though!

  • We’re Back from NSS

    We’re Back from NSS

    The National Stationery Show is over and we’re back home. Yay! Next week, I will be sharing photos, talking about the experience, and also getting started with a series of business posts. We just got back today though, and I need a little time to rest, upload photos, and really process everything.

    First things first… Paul – you wanted some more home talk, yes? I liked your bitchy comment.

    People, did you know that Madeline Weinrib rugs come in other colors? Besides the ones listed on the website?

    Behold. It is PINK, and it will soon be here.

    Pink Madeline Weinrib Zigzag Rug

    Brandon and I bought it from ABC Carpet and Home as an anniversary gift to each other (we’ve been married for 4 years now). I like knowing that we’ll see the rug for years to come and remember that we bought it in New York, on our anniversary, after doing the National Stationery Show for the first time. Um, I also like the fact that the rug is pretty much perfect. For me, anyway. Pink? Zigzags? Oh yes.
