All the married ladies...shoulda put an earring on it...

Clearly, I am no Beyonce!
I can't even type the little accent above the "e" correctly. Wow, what a sad title. My apologies.
I really don't have any "single lady" girlfriends...am I forgetting someone? Hmm what does that say about moi?
Anywho... when I saw what cute little gems SITE had I wished it was Christmas and I could bestow all my girls with these, oh so, appropriate jewels...you know who you are!




(OHIO)











This fork ring is a little obscure but think good food and forks in the road.
















These are called Poet earrings...I just like their edginess.
UPDATE: These came yesterday! They are so tiny and absurd. FAUX moss people- just you wait they will be all the rage...

More base desire: Calvinist dining, or luxe dining?

Well look who's coming to dinner...these are whimsical yet, the trees hint to an austere modern with their stark branches. Love that Spacify.


Moving into the dining room...
This would be a buffet (very first pic) that would look great your with your mid-century modern pieces, classic, contemporary or even mixed with your traditional furniture.
I'm a little obsessed with dining tables at the moment. This would work with my furniture, the banquette base requirement, and the dark woods I so enjoy. Below is my favorite but unfortunately the legs are not going to cut it for banquette seating purposes. It would look amazing sitting in the middle of a room for a library table!! The Corsino





The Calvinist boyfriend I once brought home...Somber, probably painfully punishing for long stretches of time..... I don't know why I am draw to such this guy called Luigi. Handsome though, sigh....
I suppose if I really wanted to make a commitment I'd prefer these, below.



Mmmm velvet...so cushy....the hedonist lover of chairs.
These would look great with the Corsino. Keepers!

Warped Dust

Dust Furniture has some really warped and wacky furniture perfect for kid's rooms, rec rooms, commercial kid spaces, or any place you might need a touch of whimsy. Reminds me of Dr. Seuss furniture.
One of his more obscure works?


He was soooooooooooo ahead of his time.








This coat rack is Wocket in my Pocket wacky! Also if you need some wallpaper to go with it check out Sara says Awesome.



These lovelies can be found in Colorado. Customs House is right here in Telluride!
You might need only one piece in a room to set the tone. I know if I walked into my CPA's office and saw him looking back at this Grandfather...I wouldn't mind a bit. Warped furniture lovers unite.

My Morning Bling


They call this the 2 carat cup. Brilliant price as well, $16. I think this might be my new office mug. Unfortunately, the platinum style is sold out. I can wait though...the office won't be done for several weeks.
We went camping this weekend and while a friend and I perused design mags we spotted this particularly "campy" number.
In my fervor to organize my new space, I took several notes about color and form in the beautiful surroundings along the Dolores river near Gateway, Colorado. Stay tuned for photos.
