Wanted: Bar Cart

Maybe it’s moving, maybe it’s Mad Men or maybe it’s just me but I really want a bar cart. I recently found the amazing site 1stDibs, as mentioned here. I don’t yet know how it works, exactly. I think you have to become a member to purchase anything, but it might be a worthwhile endeavor as they have a wealth of really cool furnishings and almost anything else you could possibly want.

Back to bar carts, I think  you could find something at a local thrift shop and fix it up. 1stDibs has so much in the form of bar carts that it’s nearly impossible to choose a favorite.

Feathering Your Nest

I’m in the process of finding a new home. I’ve been living with a wonderful friend for THREE years now. It doesn’t seem like that long, but it has been. I feel it’s time to feather my own nest. While the process of finding an attractive rental for me & wiggles & birdie is proving to be strenuous, I cannot wait to gussy up my new place.

I’m completely inspired by the following sites for house and home decor: Canvas, Horne , 1stDibs, CBell, Graham and Green, Ruby PlazaThe Well Appointed House Wisteria & Anthropologie

Below are some of my favorite finds.

A few lovely things

I have been inundated with new and intriguing things all day today! I am so excited to share…

A yummy new sushi place in Fayetteville: Meiji. Their spicy crab salad ($5) changed my life today! They use only fresh ingredients – mostly local – and are very reasonable!

Adorable pieces from Maude Shoppe, most under $100!

A very cute new blog: Harper and Harley

Photobucket

A really exciting workout recommendation. The Brazilian Butt Lift. It’s by the same people as P90x. Apparently the models use it to get in shape before runway shows. Is this worth trying?

Carolyn B.Karen S.

Two SUPER cute guides to NOLA. I love them because they are recommending places that are actually great. I know because I’ve been to them! The Perty South and The Comeback Kid. Seriously, who doesn’t love New Orleans?

Upped the Ante: Monique Lhuillier Resort 2011

Last week, I wrote an open letter to Jason Wu. I was enchanted by his Resort 2011 collection (and still am) but he has been surpassed. Monique Lhuillier. There’s really nothing more to say. Enjoy for yourselves. Feast your eyes. I literally want every. single. look…including the shoes!

Bathroom Lust

Doesn’t every girl dig on/dream about/ die for beautiful bathrooms? This one from House Beautiful (Feb 2009 issue) is the ultimate, walk through the shower to get to the tub? GENIUS!

More beauties from HB

Can you see my affection for claw-foot tubs?

I also love these from Elle Decor:
