I‘m a bit obsessed with wallpaper these days. Of course, I haven’t put any up yet (even though we’ve been in this house for three years now). But I’m always thinking about papering my dining room, the office, a bathroom or two. I’ve always had wallpaper in my other houses – it’s just such a [...]

Land of Nod may not be a locally-owned baby furniture store. It may not have the indie-cred of Etsy. But damn, they’ve got some cute stuff…
I’ve mentioned before that my daughter’s bedding is from Land of Nod. They consistently have fun, relatively unique furniture, bedding and toys. Good quality, solid design.
They now sell Dutch-designed Stokke [...]

Lindy over at the appropriately-named Etsy shop “Crafted by Lindy” was kind enough to become a Facebook fan of Sassy and George the other day. So, I wandered over to her shop to poke around a little.

We’ve been starting to think about transitioning my two-year-old twin boys into a big boy room. (And when I say “we”, please understand that my husband has absolutely no idea that we need to re-decorate when we move the cribs out. “We” means me and my interior-design-superstah mother.) It won’t happen until much later this [...]

It does take something special, something new, something unique to make me “SQUEEEE!” Okay, maybe that doesn’t ring true when I do that all the time here.
But, people? I look at hundreds and hundreds of dresses, crib sets, rocking chairs, shoes, hair bows and the like. Only the ones that make me smile or coo [...]
