I love those “Bag the Habit” Bags. I’m going to get one and bag my habit in style!
Maybe I’m crazy, but I think that desk could be a DIY moment, if a similarly shaped vintage desk could be found, painted white and covered with paper cutouts of butterflys, or (call my crazy) butterfly stickers. Topped with a few coats of high gloss non-yellowing varnish, it could have a very similar look.
I agree with Angie Montreal – my first thought (which reveals my inexpertise, obviously) was, “that looks like a desk a child has covered with stickers”. I am so uncouth!
I have that lacquered desk! I made my poor husband pull it out of the trash in front of a frat house and have been thinking about how I want to re-paint it! Weekend project here we come!
The tiny diamond ring looks really fantastic when you put it few at the same time. I love it.
love these picks grace!
Love the campaign desk!
Oh. I love, love Fornasetti!I have been wanting a Fornasetti umbrella stand for so long = my wish folder. They have ‘em on the top floor of Bergdorf’s. -M
