Emily Cho clutch


Week 6 in the Bib+Tuck Forward Fashion Project - the item to style was this g o r g e o u s  clutch by Emily Cho that I felt in love with instantly.The red-silver combination and this unique shape give you the impression that you hold a small piece of art in your hands. Speaking about art,  I was wearing, once again, one of Bogdan' works: this modern necklace that I chose to wear on my way to an art gallery in town. 
It was all about Art on that day !

Is anyone else draggy today? Whoever came up with the idea of Daylight Savings obviously did not have kids. A sick joke is what it is really.

But on to happier things - like the latest issue of Lonny Magazine. Nothing makes me happier than sitting out in the warm sunshine with my laptop and ice tea reading it page by page. For those of you that follow me on Pinterest, you know I'm pinning this issue like a crazy woman.

I always find amazing things to add to my wish list, like this (which would look great in my bedroom)
BeeLine Home via Lonny Magazine
and this.

Turtle Shell Brass Tray via Lonny Magazine

And then there are always a few dozen things I want to try out. 

Like this mirrored door.

And painted faux molding (this would work great in my bedroom as well - I've got bedroom brain today).

There are also great ideas for mixing high and low items.

Be sure to take some time to look thru the latest issue. It is always a treat!

A new dress, courtesy of SUGARLIPS  I was wearing it a few days ago on a perfect sunny day! I chose this crochet dress not just because the trend is in the air but also for the great look and versatility. I chose to wear it with a yellow top underneath ( for a drop of color ) and leather jacket and flats. You can find this dress here , among other beautiful garments .

take a seat part 1

I've been keeping a secret from you.

I know, I know. Its a terrible thing to do to a friend.

Its a dirty secret too. And pretty smelly...with lots of earwax gold. And I suspect some cat hair.


I had long wanted a loveseat for our living room and a year (or so) ago I got this one for my birthday. Whoop whoop. Perfect in so many ways - nice lines, structurally in good shape and full of potential. So like anything with potential, it sat in my basement for a good 10 months. As you can see though, sister has seen better days. Judging from the fabric, those days were in the 60s. And not the cool mod Mad Men 60s. More like your grandma's doilies and tupperware 60s.



Finally, we brought it upstairs and put it in the living room for some shock therapy. If you stare at this thing long enough, you'll get your butt in gear to fix it! (the only one who would sit on it was me...and the dog.) 


When prepping the house for our recent first birthday party we moved it out to the garage (we didn't want to scare our guests) and that was enough to push me over the edge. I officially have a bee in my bonnet.


I'm ready to tackle the old girl. So now, the big decisions.

Do I want to paint it? What color? Do I want solid fabric, or a pattern? Nail head or piping? And the biggest question of all...do I attempt to reupholster this myself? Keep the tufting or loose it? So many decisions! (the only thing I know for sure is I want one cushion rather than two) What do you think? I'd love your feedback!!

First step, no matter what, is to rip off this fabric and get the wood sanded and ready for paint...or stain. Decisions Decisions.
