Seven months almost! I started a new job at the Cincinnati Art Museum working in the Marketing and Communications office. It's great to be able to see art on a daily basis. There are so many amazing pieces that I can imagine hanging in my own space. It has got me thinking about the artwork I choose for my walls. Mostly, I have cheap prints or photographs or works cut from books hanging on the walls. One day, I'd love to be able to actually invest in original pieces.<br />
<br />
Recently I came across this stylish, yet classic home. It is the home of Meg Lonergan of <a href="http://www.lesueurinteriors.com/" target="_blank">LeSueur Interiors</a>. I love how she mixes traditional pieces with modern fabrics and art. Check out these images and you will understand what I mean. I covet those Audubon prints.<br />

I always loved this store even before it was cool. But lately they keep coming out with new furniture and housewares that are spot on with the current trends and also well-made. My husband and I got our desks from there a few years ago, and they are still holding up very well.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few on my wish list. How great is that chaise in picture 5 below!<br />

Founded in 2006, Odette jewelry is designed and crafted by hand in her Brooklyn studio. I knew Jennifer from George Mason University, where I worked in the School of Art as she was completing her MFA in Painting. <br />
Her abstract paintings were very well received by students and faculty, and now her jewelry line is making the rounds. Her large swallow necklace was even worn by Taylor Swift! Nice work, Jenny!<br />

I am in love with this town, even though it was a difficult transition after living in Virgina for close to ten years. Cincinnati is full of vintage shops and artisans. I just attended the <a href="http://craftysupermarket.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">Crafty Supermarket</span></a>, which was up the street from our place. I wanted to buy everything I saw, but since I'm still unemployed, I had to restrain myself. I feel I have a renewed appreciation for handmade items. The first three here are not from the Crafty Supermarket, but I still love them!<br />

Alas, no Docksta!!!! Does anyone have any idea if they are discontinuing this table? I haven't been into IKEA yet, but probably should very soon! It's such a great table and pairing it with some cane chairs is just what I had in mind...Kileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819772390420951635noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126392562270630999.post-28223753294325938122011-08-25T12:21:00.000-07:002011-08-25T12:21:01.750-07:00New Persian RugI found this great handmade persian rug on Ebay for only $50! It's about 2.5x4.5 so it's not huge but it's a great size for our small office. Right now I'm debating on the colors. The red is fun and adds a little something to the mostly neutral room but it's red. And ever since I painted a wall red in one of my first apartments, I've stayed away from the color. So is it really true what designers say--that every room needs a punch of red?<br />

People as far as New York and Ohio felt it! The last time I recall an earthquake was when I was a young girl in the mid-80's in Indiana. I don't really remember much except for the dishes rattling and shifting inside the china cabinet.<br />
<br />
After evacuating the art building where I work at George Mason University, we all stood around wondering what to do next. It was a small earthquake, comparatively, but still it shook everyone up. Then I began to worry about my apartment and if anything was damaged or broken. My co-workers said, "well if it's broken, then it's broken." And I was thinking, yeah, you're right, but inside I felt like, oh that's "my stuff, my stuff." Terrible, I know. What if it had been worse? When I came home to apartment, this is what I found:<br />

And we were all safe, which is honestly, all that really matters.Kileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819772390420951635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126392562270630999.post-81628198938012720202011-07-22T11:43:00.000-07:002011-07-22T11:45:33.284-07:00TableclothsShopping online is <strike>dangerous</strike> so much fun! Yeah I just did that really trendy, hilarious crossing out a word thing. Oh well.<br />
<br />
My dining table has a ton of scratches and just general wear. I guess that's what you get when you buy a table from Target. The finish is so strange--you wipe your hand across it and a white smudge appears. You set something down on it for one second and it instantly leaves a mark. I'm tired of looking at it and worrying about making it worse.<br />
<br />
That's why I'm thinking of buying this lovely tablecloth. Isn't it sweet?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LqxMDmzez0zhjlwnjV8leQRt50vgDQcjcOvcouAq9BFxo4peeIqTgFpOgH9pcHvB7P-L8lUXUQ9sGrtuwlSkHr55WXlTKvlPJ9-RUIsyxuiV7dtrqSSvJJlgDbbcLrRSxPG2safyJmM/s1600/tablecloth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LqxMDmzez0zhjlwnjV8leQRt50vgDQcjcOvcouAq9BFxo4peeIqTgFpOgH9pcHvB7P-L8lUXUQ9sGrtuwlSkHr55WXlTKvlPJ9-RUIsyxuiV7dtrqSSvJJlgDbbcLrRSxPG2safyJmM/s400/tablecloth.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Except that my table is only like 48"L x 30" W and this one is 70" x 108". Too big? I don't mind it being tabletop to floor but will it pool too much? I cannot do this whole find the right size tablecloth for your table. That's what wedding caterers are for!<br />
<br />
I am not usually a fan of tablecloths or a lot of pattern, but I'm trying to embrace it. Besides, I have a lime green couch and this would go perfectly since the floor plan is open.<br />
<br />
Did I just talk myself into buying this? I think so.Kileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819772390420951635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126392562270630999.post-64962104858982779032011-07-19T11:24:00.000-07:002011-07-19T11:56:49.286-07:00New BeddingI have been thinking about new bedding for awhile and came across this beautiful duvet from Pottery Barn which is on sale for $40!<br />

I am wondering if anyone has bought bedding from PB and if you like it. We currently have a simple white coverlet and comforter but I wanted something with a little pop while still keeping it mostly neutral. I think the yellow border is lovely. It would be even lovelier paired with this West Elm pillow (the PB shams to match are on backorder until January 2012).<br />

I also recently ordered this print which will go in the bedroom along with a few other botanical prints with mostly green leaves. The gray ikat pillows are currently on the bed. Any thoughts?<span id="goog_94434681"></span><span id="goog_94434682"></span><br />

However, introducing feminine details into a space can prove to be challenging. I have heard from many fellow designers and bloggers who say they easily tire of anything too pretty. <br />
<br />
By juxtaposing a softer element such as a floral sofa pillow or a pale blue cashmere throw with a weathered, farmwood coffee table or a clean-lined glass top coffee table, you can create a more dynamic and visually interesting space. This mix applies to your choices of color, textiles, furnishings, hardware, and accessories. Don't be afraid to play around with opposing combinations--a Louis XVI chair covered in pale, metallic pink paired with a mahogany library table, for example. Finding the right balance between masculine and feminine details is the key. Here are some spaces that are successfully feminine and not frilly:<br />

As a collector of antiques, she always commented on how plain and boring and sparse the neutral rooms were to her, while I studied and admired these spaces. Even today, I prefer a room with neutral furnishings and pops of color in pillows, artwork, and other accessories. This allows for the instances of color to really stand out. It's very important to vary your shades of neutral. All beige will not keep the eye moving around the room. Layer in creams, whites, and taupes with beige. <br />
<br />
Also, mixing in various metals, whether it be silver, gold, or bronze, livens the space through their reflective qualities. Personally, I prefer to combine various metals to keep the room from feeling too flat. Here are some examples of spaces that capture this look:<br />

I have been going to this store since I discovered it several years ago. It's a bit of a drive for me, but well worth it. The Spring Market is coming up May 21-22. Gates open at 10am and close at 5pm. Admission is $7 per person. Visit their site for more details: http://luckettstore.com/events/50-spring-market.<br />

I am honestly a bit tired of seeing all the styling of bookshelves in every blog, magazine, and journal I come across. This is not to say I do not enjoy a well-styled bookshelf, but it's just maddening for someone like me who is a writer and married to a writer. We have nine bookshelves and they are all filed with books! Books are stacked horizontally and others are vertical. We cram them in there!<br />
<br />
Apartment Therapy did an amazing r<a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/roundup/bookshelf-envy-roundup-of-floor-to-ceiling-bookshelves-138304">ound up of floor to ceiling bookshelves</a>. What I love about these images are the abundance of books! Sure I supposed they are still "styled" but they feel organic and they are not loaded down with nic-nacs and trinkets.<br />
<br />
What do you all think? Do you prefer a wall of books or a more edited shelf mixed with objects and books?<br />

Bryn's blog is full of great DIY and her own home makeovers, which I personally love and is the reason I read blogs. I love her style, which is a little traditional and a little modern, and I appreciate how she brings in feminine touches while maintaining a kind of masculine edge, if that makes any sense.

I got this lovely Campaign chest for $50. A little more than I wanted to pay, but it's worth it. Pretty funny story: when I called the woman's husband answered, and when I explained I was calling about the ad I saw on Craiglist, he called me sir. ha ha. Also key element of the story--do not wait for the seller to email you back. If there's a number, call it! I have missed out on so many good finds by waiting...<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to the chest. It could stand to be refinished, but for now it's hanging out as my little bar area in the dining room, alongside my other Craigslist score awhile back (the mercury glass lamps).<br />
<br />
I'm not sure it's in the right spot, though. It's not a huge piece, but it does compete with all the other dark wood of the dining table and chairs and the tall bookcase (see third image).<br />

</div>I think it's a nice piece as is. There are definitely a few scratches, and I need to add the brass hardware to the right side (3rd drawer down), but overall it's in pretty decent shape. The top will be covered up anyways. What do you think, keep it au naturel or paint it white or a fun color? I already have a lime green couch and yellow curtains, so I don't want to go too bold! <br />

It's solid wood and the iron base weighs a ton! I seriously couldn't even carry it, let alone lift it, and I do pride myself on being able to move some furniture around a room, whenever the mood strikes! But this puppy isn't moving. I really like the textured top and the airy base even though it's black, but I'm having trouble with the beige rug, table, and sofa. And since my dream sofa isn't coming anytime soon, I gotta work with what I've got. Any suggestions? Sometimes I like the beige on beige, and then the very next second, I think bleh! <br />
<br />
Should I get a cowhide, which I love, and throw that baby down over top of the beige, you know, layer it up? I have a lot of other colors in the room, including a lime green sofa and buttery yellow curtains, so I don't want to go too crazy with a rug. Man, decorating is a disease...<br />

Bam! Where are these folks getting it? And can I get one for a whole lot less than I'm sure their sofas are worth?! The first image isn't quite it exactly, but the second and third images show the rolled arms, the turned legs on casters. Actually the ottoman in the first image is pretty awesome, too!<br />

Now, that's not a ton of snow, but the lack of preparation (you know, salt on the roads, plows out, duh!) plus massive power outages all over the city made this snowstorm not so fun! We were without power for a total of around 17 hours; 12 hours straight, then another 5 hours or so later. I was ready to get out and do some thrifting! Or just ready to be warm. Our thermostat read 57 the morning after the power went out. <br />
<br />
Here are some images from the storm. It was very pretty, minus the fallen branches and the lightning! Yes lightning in a snowstorm. It was pretty but very creepy. The sky lit up neon blue. <br />

It's a huge barn filled with antiques, but it was all open and not heated. I'll have to go back when it's a little warmer. I found this great pitcher. It's from West Germany, so it says on the bottom... I really like the subtle ikat print and the yellow and gray. I can't get enough of the ikat print. Seriously, it's sick!<br />

Simple, elegant, mixing wood with metal. I'm in heaven. Etsy generally has so much amazing stuff, but because it's such a vast site, it's hard to really find anything. I don't even remember what key words brought me to his site: side table and brass, I think.<br />
<br />
The artist, William Anthony, is out of the UK. You can visit his website <a href="http://www.williamanthonydesign.co.uk/about.html">here</a> or view his Etsy site <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChrisWilliamAnthony?ref=seller_info">here</a>. There's not a whole lot of information on him, but here is his design ethos: "I draw on the character of the raw material influenced by the idea of wabi-sabi and Dieter Rams' ten principles... Sustainability is crucial to my thinking and the wood used is that which would otherwise be burnt or chipped. All wood is sourced from within the British Isles and is from trees that are windblown, diseased or felled for safety reasons."<br />
<br />
I am partial to the tables with elm and brass (1st and 3rd image) but they are all amazing.<br />

The wedding was just over a month ago and since then we have been traveling quite a bit. <br /><br />The day of our wedding turned out to be gorgeous! 70+degrees, sunny, and perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and weekend. Everything was exactly what I hoped for: relaxed, fun, and beautiful. The decorations turned out great! I especially loved my handmade chalkboard menu and the last minute burlap runners I found on Craigslist. The turquoise balls jars, the pink roses, the wedding tree, all of it, was exactly us. I am glad I put effort into these details because it really did make the wedding special.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iXfCATyOX2rpD3WsKw97cZbHRlTTx-P0Ky5bRCc_bteOFhyphenhyphenutXteRGq11XJ_iahGcwBeYIhAp0191S0W8-vvKGzQxV9JokOAGQLbT_JlVw_ce8jgiA2xUBPmuWInmzXqkV_-ir9Nm50/s1600/71560_446217659689_619539689_5440294_4989467_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iXfCATyOX2rpD3WsKw97cZbHRlTTx-P0Ky5bRCc_bteOFhyphenhyphenutXteRGq11XJ_iahGcwBeYIhAp0191S0W8-vvKGzQxV9JokOAGQLbT_JlVw_ce8jgiA2xUBPmuWInmzXqkV_-ir9Nm50/s320/71560_446217659689_619539689_5440294_4989467_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538709036645728226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWzNZhhk3YqNadFtTqQI9leReqmAb9wL897xFF6y7abjSYS2WArUuHkHjO6XJCZTr2heM5teghckGWWNHMtQ9g1mNkZA4P1s0P4QSMAO-ZP63zym7zQfPG4Av0xU0MYQrz3N0WIJ5HHg8/s1600/69833_446217504689_619539689_5440290_2941220_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWzNZhhk3YqNadFtTqQI9leReqmAb9wL897xFF6y7abjSYS2WArUuHkHjO6XJCZTr2heM5teghckGWWNHMtQ9g1mNkZA4P1s0P4QSMAO-ZP63zym7zQfPG4Av0xU0MYQrz3N0WIJ5HHg8/s320/69833_446217504689_619539689_5440290_2941220_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538708975086575330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZTKKY9S5mzBum59ArY3anyJ89THS7dwpohJ1qm043G23sKPRg19c_DCF3KfzwziIDEl1iOoZ3J8Bc0no9rpJG91xPrVqqYz-blI3dfiMpIinp7cooyhW4QwUj07EG3XusOAChjGba08/s1600/69190_446217059689_619539689_5440284_3610358_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZTKKY9S5mzBum59ArY3anyJ89THS7dwpohJ1qm043G23sKPRg19c_DCF3KfzwziIDEl1iOoZ3J8Bc0no9rpJG91xPrVqqYz-blI3dfiMpIinp7cooyhW4QwUj07EG3XusOAChjGba08/s320/69190_446217059689_619539689_5440284_3610358_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538708901844721346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVB0fcBK4W4heu8-YdfXsDCVXkkuwan6kfySNeUhvNaRIf6NQFKxMuIX_6X28WORvfX0ZPe_VDQIdZMiOVVFIXx-ICxeikyV23nc6g575FrOv4ucJLSN3GuRHlfyD5Rbsrij-QLvwMUpY/s1600/67658_446214849689_619539689_5440210_3157344_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVB0fcBK4W4heu8-YdfXsDCVXkkuwan6kfySNeUhvNaRIf6NQFKxMuIX_6X28WORvfX0ZPe_VDQIdZMiOVVFIXx-ICxeikyV23nc6g575FrOv4ucJLSN3GuRHlfyD5Rbsrij-QLvwMUpY/s320/67658_446214849689_619539689_5440210_3157344_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538708810685150194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUibeFBY8l7OaQyt7sK3_Xtf-cdR-Ix7dJEAmLV1ZwcCS8QgDGe8Ny51M6lYfD1QNHuu4Sqm8yw0mgn86xLbtMw5yVFSqah-oWHW-WsUoBc2u6bGsR8VF3n4ib4Ykv-qnt1Iq636C4vQ/s1600/37962_446217974689_619539689_5440304_7350017_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUibeFBY8l7OaQyt7sK3_Xtf-cdR-Ix7dJEAmLV1ZwcCS8QgDGe8Ny51M6lYfD1QNHuu4Sqm8yw0mgn86xLbtMw5yVFSqah-oWHW-WsUoBc2u6bGsR8VF3n4ib4Ykv-qnt1Iq636C4vQ/s320/37962_446217974689_619539689_5440304_7350017_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538708744694077218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW3myFV93fGOUanCNUxsHpju1K0Q-chEthtf-iuebk9sybT5HM7jghTZ2cWuJeOZXSg6Hw8thDrCZxlL_NCsLK_RG9az4IUo9-cVan8HyaWxbntidfjqpoVx2b198UlM7ypjHitBcswJk/s1600/33448_446217709689_619539689_5440295_7250544_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 215px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW3myFV93fGOUanCNUxsHpju1K0Q-chEthtf-iuebk9sybT5HM7jghTZ2cWuJeOZXSg6Hw8thDrCZxlL_NCsLK_RG9az4IUo9-cVan8HyaWxbntidfjqpoVx2b198UlM7ypjHitBcswJk/s320/33448_446217709689_619539689_5440295_7250544_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538708680026032642" /></a><br /><br />I hope to start blogging "regularly" again.

Flea Market was a blast! Meeting Eddie and Jaithan and walking around with them made the flea less intimidating! It's big, let me tell you. And every time I go to one of these, I want to buy something and feel this pressure to get the most unique piece I can find. Eddie's tour was so helpful and made me look at things I would have never looked at it. Instead of just going right for furniture, which I usually do, I scoped out glassware, barware, and smaller, more unique items.<br /><br />This is what I came away with:<br /><br />A pair of French opaline glasses (in my favorite robin's egg/turquoise blue)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmvB92byH1LX-D_AiFFafWhhzrbI7xtYXhOhzrSZUBj0IX3pkwFe8FDUsP4XljFxFTQo9FrG59qy-eI-4B_MCbQtFuTc5vqiwp67SfUdZ-0voDeNz0WIdFJDce6gj90IB3AqXreMAHRo/s1600/100_3434.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmvB92byH1LX-D_AiFFafWhhzrbI7xtYXhOhzrSZUBj0IX3pkwFe8FDUsP4XljFxFTQo9FrG59qy-eI-4B_MCbQtFuTc5vqiwp67SfUdZ-0voDeNz0WIdFJDce6gj90IB3AqXreMAHRo/s320/100_3434.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522761453196290642" /></a><br /><br />This great oil/vinegar cruet with a greek key pattern (Eddie wanted to steal this!)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYBDErh-7C044P5JSmQaVuwAStTBrOcjqj0eMi0DJgq6KkxKvd01MIwSnl_BzXOdoNfJBNVd5M8KCz8i-CnXn95O_FdVmcFGIAgdBkz1nq3xjYp4cc-IsIXyEpvHdOImJLlj-F1XJvbhU/s1600/100_3442.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYBDErh-7C044P5JSmQaVuwAStTBrOcjqj0eMi0DJgq6KkxKvd01MIwSnl_BzXOdoNfJBNVd5M8KCz8i-CnXn95O_FdVmcFGIAgdBkz1nq3xjYp4cc-IsIXyEpvHdOImJLlj-F1XJvbhU/s320/100_3442.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522762101631391826" /></a><br /><br />Overall, it was well worth the money to tour the flea with Eddie!

My sister was there, as well. It was all very fun yet overwhelming. The wedding will be here in less than a month, and we'll be so happy to stop planning and enjoy our time together with no worries! <br /><br />Hope you all enjoyed the summer. I am glad fall is almost here. It's my favorite. Just like smiling--smiling's my favorite. I need a vacation again...Kileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04819772390420951635noreply@blogger.com0
