I like nothing better than mixing high and low.  Ask my dear friend Michele, who tolerates my stories of bargain hunting at both Goodwill and Neimans!

Today I showed Michele as great looking coffee table that I am GIVING AWAY.... it was originally a bench to a dining table but I thought it made a svelte coffee table.  Michele is looking for something more modern.  My suggestion?  Have a piece of mirror cut to fit the top.  High - expensive looking reflective surface.  Low - seating bench come coffee table.

If you think outside the big (Pottery Barn) box, you will surprise yourself.

Hey Ladies!  Not being exclusionary or sexist.... just a little nostalgic shout out to MCA.

Ok, moving right along.... Well!  Haven't things transpired!  We have sold our 1950s rambler in suburbia and have purchased a 1910 Wardman Rowhouse in Mount Pleasant Washington DC.  The times, they are a changing'!

While the new home is pretty much in turn key shape, of course we want to put our own personal touch on it.  Please tune in frequently as we update you on wallpaper, paint and fabric choices!  Here's a little hint.... we LOVE Thibaut!  Did you know they now make furniture???  Speaking of furniture, DC Dwellers, have you checked out Nadeau????  This ultra hip store with a soul sells fab furniture at great prices.... I liken it to the Anthropology of furniture stores!

So now I have to jaunt off and Pinterest a few more items.... check out Kravet fabrics, Thibaut wallpapers and of course, always, Benjamin Moore Paint!

Catch you later!
