Falling in Love with Emiy Henson Interiors

Emily Henson believes "creativity before consumption" and that you should always repaint, reupholster, and repurpose before heading to the shops.  I'm right there with you girl!

Retro @ Home

I am loving this online haven for Mid Century modern home furnishings.  It's a store outside of San Francisco and I am itching to make a trip just to go through their treasures.  I love love love VINTAGE.  Retro @ Home designer and owner of Redmond Aldrich Design, Chloe Warner, knows her vintage.  In the March issue of Sunset magazine she gives her tips on picking the perfect vintage pieces.  See the article here.

A vintage Vespa!

How incredibly adorable and chic.  I'm in the market for a vehicle seeing as how I just moved from NYC.  If I could figure out a way to tote furniture around with this, I would definitely sport it in Baltimore.

9 By Design

First of all, who doesn't love Bravo?  I would say that 90% of my night time tv watching happens on Bravo.  The most devastating thing to happen to the channel was when Project Runway was moved to Lifetime...devastating.  Well, I'm hoping the new show will fill my design loving void.  Bring on 9 By Design, centered around a husband and wife design team, Cortney and Robert Novogratz, and their seven children.  The pair runs Sixx Design in Manhattan and has a portfolio of beautiful interiors in their back pocket.  Here are just a few...

(Think it counts if I edit some of my boyfriend's things?)

Here are the Before and After of Nate's editing magic.
