Anyone who as entered my home, watched my Small Space Big Style episode or been within earshot of me at a Mexican mercado knows I'm mad for oil cloth. The combination of colors, the juxtaposition of fruit & flowers and the diversity of choice is so appealing that I can't quite control myself when I see it. Years ago, I happened upon a stash ... read more
It will probably take longer for me to write this post than it took for me to create a sweet magnet board from a discarded cookie tin found on the trash pile my dogs were scouting as a potential toilet - that included bringing home & thoroughly cleaning. This cookie tin caught my eye as the *tempting* selection seemed so dated and it was - ... read more
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cay2dnuhcs[/youtube] I know I'm a tad behind on this international obsession of every parent recording their children reacting to this song - whether it's the 3yr old waking up from deep slumber in mid chorus or those 2 kids that should be signed to some sort of entertainment agency immediately.

What I really needed was a better way to store my growing ... read more
Sometimes a change of venue requires one to look at old furniture with a pair of fresh eyes. The client's secretary served as a home office, bedroom dresser and dressing table - as New Yorkers even our home furniture must multi-task. However, when the client upgraded her zipcode, but downgraded her square footage the secretary needed to work ... read more
