girl meets glamour

A hip Hampton's retreat...

designed by movie star/rocker wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Yup, you heard me. I came across this home featured House and Garden website while surfin' the net and thought I'd post it to see what what your thoughts are...come on, it's Friday, it's not like your really working :)

"I've become an encyclopedia of design for my friends," says Gwyneth during the interview...

Cool colors all round and I love the Madeline Weinrib's Hollywood Regency chair aside the fireplace...

Um, it wouldn't be a rocker's house with out a pair of worn out chucks lying around...

A big open kitchen, which was Gwyneth's idea to double the size...

Little Apple's room, which features a custom canopy bed by Jonas, Inc., NYC, and boasts fabrics from Raoul Textiles...

I think that print looks quite familiar...maybe a custom black on black Imperial Trellis by KWID...

The Master Bedroom features the Thurman bed from Usona and Wendell Castle's Muse side table...

So, what do you think...should we now be calling Gwyneth a movie star/ rocker wife/ interior designer ?!?!?

**Well Happy Friday!!! Hope you have a great weekend! Oh, and check out Habitually Chic blog because I was just told she has the behind the scenes photos of this shoot :)**

Seeing spots can be good for you!

I am a big fan of leopard print if done in the right application. But for what ever reason, the first image that comes to mind when thinking of this print...is of an 80's Glam Rock band running around the stage in leopard print tights with crazy hair. Not a pretty picture then and now, but when done right this print can really make a room...

Okay, what do we think...

Q: Leopard prints (faux)...good or bad ?!?! Let me know, I'm interested...

My 100th post...it's going ...

Um, first off...I'd like to thank my parents because with out them I wouldn't be here today, and my other half for supporting me through all the nights I've shoved him off the computer just to use the scanner for my so called "blog"...and the fans, I can't forget the fans...(insert generic acceptance speech here)

(Anna Spiro of Black + Spiro and Absolutely Beautiful Things blog)

But really...blogging has made me think about who I am, and where I want to be...and it's because of the other bloggers/blogs out there inspiring me every day. So, I'm going to dedicate this post to a dream/idea/thought I just can't seem to shake lately..of opening my own boutique someday!!!

So thank you Anna, Ruthie, Jamie, Ron and others for inspiring me so...

Pink + Shopping = Fun

I'm back from Nashville...wow, what a city! Saw some great places, ate some great food...listened to some great music, and of course did the typical touristy visit to 2nd Avenue and Broadway Street. With the little spare time I had...somehow I missed doing some real shopping, (not for shot glasses that have Johnny Cash on them), but real shopping!

**So, because it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I'm in need of some shopping therapy...I thought I'd post some "think pink" finds.**


Emily Desk in Smoothie from Maine Cottage



Pink Murano Lamp from pieces


Modern Suzani from Uzbek Craft


Spool Stool from House Electic


My favorite pillow from Madeline Weinrib (red and pink zig-zag)
