Clawing at My Heart

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Whenever I walk into a bathroom and there is a claw foot tub in it I pretty much lose my mind. What a perfect pair of Manolos are to some women, claw foot tubs are to me. One of my goals in life is to have my very own someday. Especially one painted black on the outside. Do you need some photographic evidence? I thought so…

I can’t even begin to deal with those brass plumbing fixtures. It’s too good.

This is about to happen… prepare yourselves.

Me and Mr. Bubbles need a date here.

And here.

Say WHAT?

I feel like this was set up just for me- white subway with dark grout? Check. Tub? Check. Rosemary (favorite smell)? Check. Mini tile floor with a sheepskin rug? Check. Only thing missing is me!

That gallery wall is redonk. So are those shutters.

DRAMA, my favorite (just ask Andrew)

I’m way into this whole bath reno- from the floor to the wall color. Check it out here!

My studiomate Jennifer told me about this place New England Demolition and Salvage that I must go to. Why, you ask? Because it looks like this!

Can you not see me skipping deliriously through the rows and rows of vintage tubs? This is what heaven must look like!

Take Me to the Ocean

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

Yesterday I had this enormous craving to be by the ocean. It was a cloudy, kind of rainy day, but sometimes those are my favorite by the water.  To me there is nothing more healing for the soul than looking out at the ocean and breathing in the salt air.  My dad is working on a beach house for our family on the Connecticut shore that will be our first project as father/daughter and I think I need to get on him to break ground ASAP!

Some seaside favorites of mine as of late (can you even BELIEVE the zebra beach towel???? I NEED!)

Hermes Love

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Did you guys see the little pic of Jonathan Adler’s bathroom in this month’s House Beautiful? It was seriously under 2″ square but it jumped out at me more than some of the full page photos because of that INSANE vintage Hermes metal sign on the wall! Say WHAT?!?!? Here’s a bigger pic of it I found on Pinterest- how have I never seen this before?

Three things- 1) I need the back story on how he got that 2) if it were mine I would hang that bad boy somewhere other than the bathroom- perhaps around my neck so no one would miss seeing it EVER. I’d be like the Favor Flav of designers 3) how about the rest of that bathroom?? The brass pipes, black ceiling, subway tile? I can’t even….

But seriously, I’ve never seen anything like that sign before. There’s a lot of Hermes out there for the home that is used ad-nauseum – empty orange boxes, THE tray and THE blanket (is there another? I think not).  Not that I am complaining about ANY of those things, I love them all equally and even have some in play in my own home…

So here’s the thing with Hermes trays, especially the one we all love seen below… most are fakes. EXPENSIVE fakes. Even sold at reputable stores- a real vintage one would set you back thousands, but a replica will be a cool $600 or so. Just something interesting I learned…

As a side note, if someone asked me what I would do if I won the lottery I would just show them this picture (and explain that they cut out the two store employees carrying out two other loads this size to me car)
