There are no words....they speak for themselves.

In case you can't tell from the picture, the legs are bamboo. And I'll want to boo-hoo if I don't get these soon!!

One pirate shirt, coming right up

My boys are OBSESSED with anything even remotely related to pirates. I'm not so sure I'd put my little girl in this shirt, but myself? Absolutely! Makes me want to pull out my sewing machine and start appliqueing.

And for the one-eyed pirates in my life....this is rocking cool!
Can I get an "aargh, aargh, matey"?

These boots are made for...kicking you in the behind. Just kidding.

My picks for fall.
I'M TORN b/t the classic Frye motorcycle boot in olive (yummy, yes please!)...

the Frye motorcycle boot in grey (note the rounded toe and studs)...
and the classic Ugg, strictly in grey, which can be purchased on the cheap here:

Dream, dream

I can't get all the images to load for some reason, but check out the house here:
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/pt/slideshows/2008/11/wiese/
This is quite possibly my favorite house ever. Well, it's a toss up between this and another that I'll post tomorrow. I stumbled upon this as I was reasearching fabulous photos of white (seriously, is there any other color?) barcelona chairs, which I've dreamed of owning since I was in high school and drove around critiquing the choice of brick on homes around Memphis. At any rate, there are too many wonderful things to note about this house - just check it out for yourself. And then sleep tight w/ great dreams of your own home!


White, white, baby

IF I had a house to re-do right now, I'd be ALL OVER this white tile. LOVE LOVE LOVE the penny tiles. Let me reiterate, LOVE the penny tiles! No one else will be doing this. They're all doing subway tiles, which are most fabulous in their own right, but you can't beat the glory of the perfect circle. And the best part? Overstock offers them at a discount:

Subway tile is also offered.

Shush!

There are no words for the Danish Fabulousness of this floor lamp. Put a martini in my hand, maybe even a long ciggy holder, and let's party like it's 1950!

Overstock this

Note the chairs. I love them.
http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Microfiber-Relaxing-Chair/2526872/product.html

My friend, Ashley Waltemath, lives in San Fran, in a fabulous condo, with her hottie husband, and her four beautiful babies. Her home was features in Better Homes and Gardens recently.
She said her chairs are very kid-friendly, which is what counts in my world.
I am posting again the picture that I referenced in a previous post...

Peace, Love, and Happiness

shopshinehome.com, Geneva Chair
I simply MUST own this one day.  (Yes, I do have a modern abstract painting in my den that is this exact color.  Another reason why I should own this chair.)  Love LOVE that the symbol is on the back of the chair, so for those not so in to the idea of passing the PEACE, so to speak, it need never been seen by all.  Swarovski crystal detail, which can be customized by color.  
Yum-MEEEEE, PLEASE!!

LOVE...1stdibs.com
Would this fill you with HAPPINESS as it would me?

Forecast...

I was doing a little online digging for vintage patterns and got interested in jumpsuits.  So I'm going to make a little prediction that in the next couple of years they make a come-back.  These listed below are super sexy.  So, never say never....I'm just saying....



(I LOVE the short look of this one!  Very fresh take on a totally 80s look.)

Is someone trying to kill me?

I am about to have a heart-attack over all this mid-century furniture.  It's too much in one day!  
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1150972584.html

A moment of silence, cont'd....

Person, you're KILLING me!!!!!  I am lamenting my bone-dry checkbook.  
I want ALL this stuff!  
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fuo/1117874872.html

I mean let's be honest, scores like these are just that...SCORES.

A moment of silence, please

There are no words for how F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. the following finds are:

Don't you just love Eames era digs?
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fud/1154057113.html
Click the link just to see all the pictures of them in all their glory.
This lamp would make Jonathan Adler proud.  The base, that is.  The shade is pretty u-g-l-y.  
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fud/1154114816.html
J'adore....teak, mid-century...glorious combination.
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fud/1154075130.html
Love the clean lines.  Makes me want a martini in my hand, and a long cig holder...while wearing pearls.
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fud/1154082347.html
This will light you right up.  Again, teak.  LOVE.
http://nashville.craigslist.org/fud/1154069668.html
I am observing a moment of silence in respect of the person who posted these on CList.  You, my friend, have great taste.  Even the fact that you photographed all these JEWELS in front of a white-washed brick wall....you read my mind.

Let me just say the possibilities are endless.  Re-sell and make some quick cash, paint, recover the chairs, add new hardware.....endless opportunities here.
