What's new on my Tivo?

So my favorite new TV show that I recently discovered is Man Shops Globe. Keith Johnson is a buyer for Anthropologie who travels the world looking for amazing finds. From antique shops to flea markets with so many incredible artists in between, tuning in for the Keith's hunt is definitely worth it! Don't forget to check out Keith's Quick Picks, which catalogs many of Keith's shopping stops.

Another one bites the dust....

...so how many left does that make? Metropolitan Home announced that they too are closing their publication making December's issue their last! And they will also be closing their online umbrella site, PointClickHome. We've only too recently said goodbye to Domino and Southern Accents to name a few, and now Met Home. The days of glossy page-turning inspiration are rapidly dwindling. Good luck Elle Decor - we're rooting for you...

October Etsy Faves

There are some super-fab finds on Etsy right now that I just had to share!

I know we've seen this Dorothy Draper dresser before, but I'd still love one...


A tres-chic vintage Syroco mirror from andfoundfurnishings...



A fun and fancy man silhouette from ModishVintage...

At $900, this antique sofa from Summerland is a great find. I'd love to reupholster it in a plush velvet and top it off with fun, fuschia pillows...

A faux bamboo coffee table with hig-style caning from thevintagesupplyco...

I nabbed this vintage Lenox canoe bowl from High Street Market for a photo shoot...

Artist Rene Norman

Check out artist Rene Norman, who I recently came across. I love all the shapes and colors, especially the pink!





The perfect place to...

get away for the weekend! This Santa Barbara estate is currently for sale, and while the $11M pricetag is definitely out of my budget, a girl can dream right? What an amazing place to just soak up some sun and enjoy a private beach.
