A Fashionable Abode

Modern Apartment Therapy

Home is where the heart is... and this heart's yearning for some yester-year style.  Simple, classic shapes and shades to lighten and brighten up living spaces.

A friend has just moved into her new Art Deco apartment in Wellington this weekend and asked me to send her a pair of macrame lamp shades we spotted on my street during her recent visit.  It's the same store where I found my giant (13 bulb) hand-carved wooden chandelier, which I painted dark blue.  So I got inspired and whipped up this selection of complimentary homewares.

Chances are, my eyes will wander at the market... you never know what treasures you might find!  mb

Bird on a Wire

For some reason, this morning I started thinking about a guy I met on a NYC subway ride last year.  He was a fashion student at Parsons, sat there painstakingly twisting wire into a purposeful sculpture.  I quipped that I remembered that exercise when I was a fashion student. 

Here's a collection of what others are doing with wire these days.  Enjoy! mb

A few of the gorgeous treasuries I've been featured in this week. mb

Treasury Mad

So I've been going crazy with the new Treasury East on Etsy.  What a great way to 'filter' the shopping experience for other users and let's face it - it's just addictive to page through (kind of like sitting down to read magazines).

I've curated the following... grab a cuppa:

• Industria 
• A Rose by Any Other Name...
• Poetry in Motion
• Tea in Style
• Could This Be Love?
• Ladies a Plate
• The Pony Express
• Gold Treasure Treasury
• DEATH
• Handmade Home
