Look For Less

A friend of mine sent me an email asking me whether or not I had seen the new Target collection in person, I thought she was referring to the Neiman Marcus holiday collection not knowing about Tarjay's new Modern Cottage Home Decor collection. How did I not know about this? I am sure the quality of the furniture is nowhere near the same as the higher end options but a lot of these pieces remind me of Bungalow 5 and Oomph!

Appliances Are A Girl's Best Friend

The Mr. and I have our one year wedding anniversary this weekend, and I can't believe how quickly the past year flew by. When I told the Mr. I did not want anything for our anniversary, he was totally skeptical, and for good reason. While I may not want anything this anniversary, I would love him to take all the money he would spend on any anniversary or birthday gifts for me for the next few years and put it into jar labeled "EB's Appliance Fund."  I get way more excited going into Bray and Scarff than I do walking into Saks, or Bloomies, so I think it's the perfect idea. Besides I know that when we finally do buy a house some day we will be so strapped for cash that he will not let me purchase anything other than toilet paper and cereal, so I thought if we can save for retirement, why can't we save for appliances too? I'll let you know how this goes, but in the mean time I'm going to make my pretend shopping list. 

Love the industrial look of the GE Monogram line

or the 36" Thermador dual fuel range

or a more affordable alternative is the 30" dual fuel KitchenAid range

if we were to miraculously win the lottery I like these guys... 

Bertazzoni 

La Cornue 

The 48" Thermador aka mother of all ranges

Sprucing Up The Patio

I have been looking for some good outdoor furniture pieces for client's and I had no idea how expensive outdoor furniture can be! Not just Restoration Hardware and Frontgate, but even Home Depot has pricey pieces, sets they don't even have in the store. How can I tell a client to spend $5,000 on outdoor furniture that neither of us have ever sat in? Hi I am here to return 16 large boxes of patio chairs because they are not as comfortable as I thought they would be? At least Restoration Hardware has the stuff for you to test drive, but anyway, here are some great sets we found at great prices.  

Amazon $1,299

Target $999

Target on Sale $999 for the set!

 Target $1,358

Ikea $950

Target $999

Back From Market!

Mom and I returned early from Spring Market last night, and while I love love love going, we were a little disappointed this year. Yes most of our favorite show rooms had new products for their Spring 2012 line, but a lot of vendors had the same stuff on display they had three Markets ago. Maybe it was because we didn't have as much time as we usually do, but we did see some some great new things while we were down there. Lilly Pulitzer has this dumb new rule of no photography in their show room which was pretty frustrating because they always have new products, but here are some other highlights from our trip that I can share with you...

You can always count on Anthropologie to have funky accents, and the Twisting Koi Candelabra definitely makes a statement. It looks like something my Mom would have in the center of her table for a spring party, it's totally insane, but secretly I love it...  

Oh La La!

Have you seen the new bedroom furniture over at Restoration Hardware?! 

Even if you didn't use this piece as a head board it would make a great wall feature, or sliding barn door. Too bad my ceilings wont fit something 102" tall, not to mention the fact that I don't have $2,290 burning a hole in my pocket... womp womp. 

The Look For Less

My best girlfriend is in the process of moving into her very own place, and asked me for suggestions of places to look for inexpensive furniture aside from the obvious Ikea. I know I have talked about various look for less options before, but recently I stumbled upon some really really cute ideas I thought I would share! 

I know some people think birds are for old ladies, but I love this flippin headboard. 

$499 for the Queen sized Grace Headboard at Z Gallerie. 

Check out that detail! 

Z Gallerie $899 

Clear Ghost Armchair $149 with free shipping on Amazon

Zinc side tables at Home Decorators for $199
