Lauri Faggioni

Posted on | March 26, 2008 | 5 Comments

I just got the new Anthropologie home catalog in the mail. To my surprise the new set looked just like Lauri Faggioni’s tastemaker piece for House & Garden back in 2007. I saved the image from the old website…it’s one of my absolute favorites. I remember begging to put it on our homepage. Love! So is the new Anthropologie catalog the work of Lauri? While searching for the answer I came across the blog wee wonderfuls. A reader of her blog mentioned Lauri was the production designer of the video below. Super cool. So if anyone finds out the answer let me know.

Update: So it looks like the Anthro home spread was the work of Domestic Construction via The Constant Gatherer.

I love this print from Jennifer Paganelli. I don’t know what colorway is prettier? I am drawn to the version above. I am total sucker pink. I don’t really want to live with the pink so I guess i would choose the blue. Buy: 14,95 EUR per meter at: volksfaden.de.

Blue Outdoor Tabletop

One last post of the day. I need to do some laundry, pick up the apartment, and start packaging for our trip to Colorado on Thursday! So two picks from Crate & Barrel, a doily-inspired charger perfect for outdoor parties. Throw down the Flower Burst tablecloth, add a few galvanized steel buckets filled with spring flowers and you’ve got a party! Enjoy the sunny weather!

Pottery Barn-Ethnic Color

Posted on | March 24, 2008 | 3 Comments

I knew it was only time till the mass-market home accessories division went totally crazy with moroccan inspired prints. I was actually surprised how much I liked the new line from Pottery Barn. The duvets and pillows are a little to much knock-off Robshaw, but the sheets are great! The moorish tile rug is pretty and fun in a sunny yellow. The Arlington side chair in a tile fabric and Olivia Sofette are really pretty and don’t feel too generic. To check out more from visit: potterybarn.com.

Martha Stewart Baking Handbook

Posted on | March 24, 2008 | Comments Off

Go out and buy this cookbook. Every recipe I have made from this cookbook has been totally amazing and over-the-top. You’ll find a lot basic old-fashioned recipes like gingersnaps, cupcakes, and biscuits; but every recipe is the best version I have ever made! I do have to admit the recipes do feel a bit ridiculous at times, lots of steps, but honestly I’ve sucked it up kept to instructions and had amazing results! My cupcakes I made for Easter were both from this great cookbook. People are starting to think I am an amazing baker! All the credit goes to Martha! Martha Stewart Baking Handbook, $24.60, amazon.com.
