Off the Usual Subject

I don't know why, but lately I've been obsessed with baby clothes.

I love shopping for my nieces and nephews and dressing them up.

Next to interior design... this really floats my boat!

Unfortunately, I don't know the sources for many of these pieces

but they are too cute not to share!

Little Mouse Mary Janes.

Hand Knit Button Front Sweater Dress.

Kids Moto Jacket.

Cloud Leggings.

Flapper Ruffle Dress.

Newsboy Cap and Kitty T-shirt.

Hand Knit Asymetric Cardigan.

Black Ruffle Front Button Down Coat.

Chevron Onsie.

Swingy Trench with Burberry Wellies.

Hand Knit Ice Skate Slippers.

Most of these things are from zulily.com

and some of the sweaters and slippers are hand knit

and can be found on Etsy.

If I figure out the sources, I'll update this post.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

May your home always be

too small to hold all your friends.

Restoration Admiration

The Spring 2011 Restoration Hardware catalogue is really something. My copy is worn, dog-eared and flagged. It is that good. Here are a couple of my favorite things that I can't live without.

Victorian Hotel Pendant Light.

I love the intricate open metalwork with the internal candelabra, in a

polished nickel finish.

Want one!

Professor's Leather Double Chair.

Covered in this buttery vintage cigar leather with

hand hammered brass nail head details.

Flatiron Collection.

These awesome handmade tables are solid reclaimed elm doors.

Each table top is selected, planed, sanded and finished by hand

for a warm antique, industrial patina.

L O V E !

Astoria Hotel Magazine Rack.

This magazine caddy is crafted with cast ball joints and

the gleam of old brass. Nothing ordinary

about this magazine rack.

French Academie Iron Bed.

I'm loving the use of industrial materials

and masterful finishing techniques,

this reproduction looks very much like it's

early 20th Century French predecessor.

Comes in all sizes, too!

Arc Bracket.

I'm all about this architectural ironwork...

Just like the stuff found in the grand

20th century train stations that

have inspired these shelving brackets.

Unexpected goodness!

And who knew that Restoration Hardware carried baby clothes?

Their pure organic cotton layette looks so soft,

it's got to feel great against baby's skin.

Everything is unisex and machine washable.

The prices are quite good too!

If you haven't seen this catalogue, you have to get your hands on one.

It feels like a big glossy design magazine of years gone by.

It's stuff like this catalogue that has me resisting

the on-line digital magazines.

Which do you prefer?
