I just saw this on All The Best

All the blogs that I read are decor blogs, like All the Best.  Exclusively (except fupenguin, but he quit).  Sometimes they throw in fashion, which I tolerate, because I have no choice, and occasionally I try to not look like an idiot when I get dressed, so it’s helpful to have some idea what’s in style.  (more so, now that I have the store)  Anyhow, here is one that I will read.  In fact, I would like to print it, and read it from the beginning, like a… you know… what’s that called again… oh, right, a book.

read here…. Thank You For Asking

Oh yeah, by the way

We were mentioned on Style Court.  No big deal, I mean, being noticed by a well respected blogger and designer that has been mentioned in ELLE Decor, design*sponge and InStyle happens to me all the time.

No, it totally doesn’t!  This was super exciting!  It happened a few days ago, and we got a ton of response, which has kept me busy as a little bee talking with clients and doing our first Greyhound shipment.  This is why I didn’t even have time to post about it. 

Oh yeah, I should also point out that the post wasn’t really so much about Scavenger Home, as it was about a particular desk.  Our lovely shiny red number with the fab lion head pulls, but still…

Happy day and a little DIY tip

It was a truly happy day when I stumbled across this little chandelier.  While my initial instinct is to have everything painting in some amazing, fresh, bright color, I end up restraining myself, so that the customer can decide for themselves.  (they are always right, you know)  But this needed a little pop, right away.

Here is the DIY part.  This is soooooo easy.  I made a little navy chevron print on photoshop and printed it.  You can also just search Bing images for whatever pattern you are looking for.  Make sure it is large enough and high enough resolution that it will print well.  (not advocating copyright infringement. whatever)  Then just cut and past.  Easy breezy.  You can take the little round plastic tubes off your chandelier, run a line of double sided tape or adhesive down one end, stick it on, roll it around and another strip of adhesive down the end.  I know these instructions seem stunted and a little vague.  This is just SOOO easy, that I don’t want to over do it on instructions.  You can figure it out, it’s pretty obvious.

So far behind…

I am so far behind in my blog posts, it’s ridiculous.  i have a permanent case of writers block and every time I think of blogging, I get sucked in to craigslist or eBay looking for new yummy things.  To start filling the silence, I present this wonderfully worn Westnofa chair.  The perfect shade of chocolate, it is low slung, inviting and warm.

Blown Away

I just love it when I can make my world more stylish and fantastic using nothing but stickers, like in my bathroom floor makeover.

Jenny, from one of my favorite blogs, Little Green Notebook, just posted this mind blowing “sticker” from Surface View.  They are in the UK, so you know, the dollar sucks right now, and then there’s shipping, blah blah blah, but I am telling you, this is still cheap.

Here are a couple more that I will have to have at some point in my life.

I really need to do this in a powder room, I think.
 Can you imagine this covering an entire wall behind some fabulous yellow velvet daybed in a kids room.  Something like this…

Oh Bill, you’re a funny, funny guy

It has come to my attention

that my headboards twin (actually a queen) is currently residing in this over the top guest bedroom in designer Jay Jeffers house.  Talk about versatile, this headboard can clearly swing both ways.
 
So, I have to say that Fyndes has been really great.  They seem to really give personal attention to their dealers.  I kindof assumed there was just a computer on the other end, but Mark @ Fyndes is actually who pointed out the whole headboard thing to me.  It was also mentioned here.  Isn’t that nice?
