Most days, I am reasonably content with my financial status. We have a roof over our head, food to eat and all the amenities of modern life. But there are moments, few though they may be, when I wish I had an unlimited amount of disposable income. Because if I did, I wouldn’t even blink before buying this beautiful mirror from SO Green Store. I have been on the hunt for a vintage sunburst clock or mirror to hang over the TV in the living room, opposite a trio of black and white photos in black, museum-style frames. This mirror would be the like the cherry on the pie. The room would be complete without it, but would just enhance the space so much more!

When I do small craft and design projects for my own home, I often wind up with small scraps of fabric, paper and other materials that I wind up throwing away or recycling despite my best intentions to find a use for them. Can you imagine how huge that pile of stuff would be if I were a practicing interior designer doing projects regularly?

When my husband and I started unpacking moving boxes, I realized just how much I hate bare walls. Before this apartment, we had never painted a space we were renting. Instead, we used lots of wall art, from African masks to paintings and shadow boxes, to stave off the feeling of bare, sterile walls. Which means we have a lot to choose from when decking out the walls at our new digs. But some of it just isn’t us anymore. We have a Goodwill pile and a yard sale pile, and we’re looking to eventually replace some of it with higher-quality investment pieces now that we’ve honed our taste. These pieces from Ross Menuez Balsa caught my eye, and I’m loving the colorful nature and ethereal quality of his work.

Have you ever come across a product concept and felt like the company came up with it just for you? That’s how I feel about Inhabit’s new Modern Classics Collection. I am seriously ready to pull out my debit card right now, but I wouldn’t know which to buy first! The collection includes pillows, wall art and hanging fabric panels, all featuring striking, colorful silhouettes of some of the most famous and iconic pieces of furniture on the planet: Eames, Bertoia and Barcelona chairs, among others.

There are lots of dates in my life that are incredibly significant for me. I still remember my projected due date from when I was pregnant with my daughter, and her birthday and my wedding date are high on the list of ones to remember. I’m also a big fan of gifts that are cool and stylish, but that also have significance. The innovative artwork from Frame the Date is the perfect marriage of these two concepts.
