Gotta have FLOR Tiles


This past weekend, we moved to a larger 2 bedroom apt in the same building and although we've have a lot of work to do in putting away and organizing everything, I'm looking forward to enjoying the extra footage. The baby's room is huge and can finally hold all her things; no more tripping over her swing or taking a detour around her excersaucer. Most importantly we can all actually fit and hang out in her room, including the dog! However, her rug looks lost and tiny in the middle of her room so now I'm on the hunt for a new rug. So far, I'm leaning towards getting the FLOR tiles above. It's bright (meaning - hide stains), durable, and will look great with baby's large yellow accent wall. Flor tiles have tons of awesome colors, patterns and textures and what's even more fabulous is that if any of the tiles were to become stained/soiled/ruined, it can easily be removed and replaced with a new one. No more tossing out a stained rug, now how perfect is that??

Rex Ray





I've been a huge admirer of Rex Ray's artwork for a while now and if you saw his work you would see why it's so amazing! His eye and use of color, design and texture is just simply brilliant.

I Love Orange


My absolute favorite color is yellow, but you would never know it by looking at our living room's decor. We have sheer orange linen curtains, orange accented pillows, orange accented chairs and Vintage 50's artwork with orange accents too. Plus my workspace as you saw in a previous post has an orange striped rug and orange storage boxes on the shelves. Even my baby's stroller is orange. Oh and our accent color for our wedding was orange too. It was never really a consicence choice; it just happens that Orange is a great color that both my husband and I always agree on.

So like fine china, I use the color occasionally so it's always a treat when I wear a yellow dress or something. In the meantime, Orange will always be that bold color that looks irresistable on just about anything, like these fabulous items from Jonathan Adler!

Oooh, I like!


I've found really great 50's modern items on Ebay and this is one of the items I'm "watching". I love it's orange globe shape and the textured linen lampshade but most especially I love the round spaceship-like lights on the bottom! Located in the UK it's going bid is already at $150, which is already over my max but I can I guess I can still dream of it one day gracing my desk!

Room & Board - Chair for Bedroom


We need a chair for the bedroom, but when one changes the bedroom linens as often as I do, it makes choosing a chair super tough. I'm thinking like a dark sand linen textured fabric that matches easily with most decor? Room and Board, where we purchased our sofas and two chairs, have really amazing modern furniture options and many fabulous mid century style pieces (from Eames to Noguchi). They have so many fabric options, it makes my sandy linen fabric option sound kinda boring! The above piece is what I'm considering but how I can I resist so many fabric options?? Click Here
