floor goods: amy butler


amy butler makes me happy. really happy. i fell in love with her fabrics a few years ago. they are the kinds of fabrics that you buy just because. no plan. just because you can't go another day without owning THAT fabric. i have a stack of 10 fabulous half yard pieces in my sewing room that are waiting to be made into something delicious. her website http://amybutlerdesign.com/ showcases her beautiful products but also has amazing photography and inspiration throughout. she recently launched a line of hand made wool rugs. these rugs make me want to put my house on the market this very second and buy a home that has nothing but hard wood floors. http://amybutlerdesign.com/products/rugs.php

transparent goods: low slung jeans beware!


i have been obsessing, for a while, over this acrylic chair. or any acrylic chair for that matter. i love that these ghost chairs let you see right through to the next best thing; desk, dining table, art, wall color or wall paper (which, by the way, is completely back in style. not sure how i feel about that yet). i would love to pair my ghost with an old, shabby, paint-chipping-off kind of table/desk.
