timeless fashion - water for elephants

i read this book and loved it so i'm definitely looking forward to seeing the movie as well as robert pattinson's face. i'm equally obsessed with anything that takes place in the 20s or 30s because it just seemed like such a glamorous time (you know, minus the great depression and all). besides the storyline, the costumes in this movie are a big part of why i want to see it, and reese witherspoon really looks the part with her wavy bob and petite, but still curvy figure.

room of the day {workspace heaven}

Today I'm loving the vintagey-organic workspace of the event-styling business bash, please (as seen in the new issue of Rue). I love being introduced to creative, small businesses (and woman-owned!) - their work is beautiful and great inspiration.

brimfield recap + new additions

Our trip out to the Brimfield Antique Show was a lot of fun. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the prices - I thought they were high and not everyone was willing to negotiate. And I didn't see a lot of the little items that I was looking for to update my shop - so I'll need to plan another trip to Maine in the next few of weeks for that. Nonetheless, there was a lot of cool stuff and we did buy a few things - including the side board below which was much needed piece for our dining room!

When I have the time I'm going to give it a fresh coat of paint (maybe a fun color?) and update the hardware.

Pat - so overwhelmed by everything, but trying to stay supportive!!

Herbie.

Cool bentwood chairs that could be awesome with an update.

New (old) side board in our dining room with the yellow lamp I picked up at Homegoods this weekend 50% off! I'm still organizing art etc. so this pic is a work in progress.

Lastly, a zebra rug that I bought at Homegoods (not sure where it's going yet... although I'm kind of enjoying the life it brings to our kitchen) and a galvanized metal bucket and #8 gas station sign (also from Brimfield).

SO SO excited for my trip to Brimfield Antique Show tomorrow - the forecast is sunny and 60's, which couldn't be better. Hopefully I will have lots of great stuff (and photos) to share when we're back.

it's been a while...

Since I've stopped by one of my favorite food blogs, Sunday Suppers. I caught up on the posts this morning and am so happy that I did because not only is their food and photography beautiful, I'm in love with this little shop that they featured - Brook Farm General Store. It's a treasure trove of vintage pieces and household items displayed with a simple and clean aesthetic - perfect! Brook Farm will definitely be on my list of places to visit in New York next time I go.

keeping up with the eames'

Love Eames chairs? Check out Victoria at sfgirlbybay's post about Ray and Charles Eames and their iconic mid-century modern designs. She's pulled together a great collection of images, such as this one.

cocktail hour {tom collins}

How 'bout a good old fashioned Tom Collins a la Betty Draper in Mad Men?

Maybe via this vintage bar trolley?

In the perfect glass, of course (hint: it's #4).

tom collins:

- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 tsp superfine sugar
- 3 oz club soda
- 1 maraschino cherry and 1 orange slice

In a shaker half filled with ice cubes, combine gin, lemon juice and sugar - shake well. Strain into a collins glass almost filled with ice cubes. Top with club soda and stir in cherry and orange slice.

Check out more Mad Men cocktails.

industrial table bases

I LOVE the design class I'm taking. My concept for the project we're working on right now is eco-industrial (more on that later) so I have funky vintage/industrial tables on the brain.

shopping {elizabeth bauer design}

Dying to visit Elizabeth Bauer Design, a vintage + antique furniture and accessories store in NYC. Elizabeth's shop is described as a beautiful mix of refurbished pieces with modern flair. She was also named one of Traditional Home's 20 young designers to watch.
