Kind of ironic at this time I am moving from my original home here to <a href="http://theavarice.com/">TheAvarice.com</a>, we are also awaiting a pending offer on our first home as a family and the home for which this blog was started. Funny how things happen. Anyway, I am so excited for this and all upcoming new beginnings. Now, <a href="http://theavarice.com/">check me out</a>!

I am very in touch with my masculine side. The tools in the shed belong more to me than to my husband. (I joke with him that the only thing he knows how to make is money. And that's just fine with me.) I like to snake the bathroom drain, change the compressor in the HVAC unit, and install window treatments. I am good at that stuff and it does something for me. Maybe it's in keeping with that that I am also interested in all other matters of the home, correction, the handmade home. I love to cook, decorate, obviously, set a table, host a party, and I LOVE to arrange me some flowers. Everything above takes practice and flower arranging is something I have paid careful attention to because I wanted desperately to be good at it. A couple years ago, I discovered a little trick to help this and it hasn't failed me yet.<br />

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b>Flowers or Greenery</b>... obvi. I used a combination of stems from the florist and yard clippings. (And the neighbor's yard clippings)</div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b>Vase</b> (or vaase) - the type and height of your flowers should be taken into account when choosing the type and height of your vaase. I was always afraid of "wide mouth" vases because it was more difficult to arrange the flowers, but they are the best type of vase for this "technique." That was a very <a href="http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/digital-shorts/video/weekend-update-segment-chris-farley-as-bennett-brauer/1348957/">Bennett Brauer</a> sentence with all them quotations.</div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b>Scissors</b></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<b>Double sided tape</b> ( I used washi tape in the photos so that it would photograph better but I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. I repeat. Do not use washi tape. It was a horrible mistake and collapsed after a couple stems. I have used one sided tape also and it was okay, but really the double sided is the bomb.com)</div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>First</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fill your vase 1/3 to 1/2 with water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Second</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Create a lattice with the double sided tape. IGNORE THE WASHI TAPE SHOWN. Horrible decision.</div>
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Fourth</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fill in the stems using the squares as a guide. I generally put shorter stems around the outside or any filler/greens and then try to space out my colors and use the tallest stems toward the center. There really is no right way. You can move them around and play with them until you get it how you like. My best suggestions is to not give up. About halfway through I always think to myself, Well this looks like some shit. But then I power through and am almost always happy with the end result. Sorry I forgot to take photos of me filling in the flowers.</div>

Whenever Tommy is out of town, I put the kids to bed, open the vino and get out my pastels. There is just something about being alone with some music in my ears... It is my happy place. This is one of many I did last night. I am preparing a couple commissions for new clients and one gift for a very kind someone. </div>

My mama is making some changes to her living room. She is due for a new slipcover for her ARHAUS sofa (which is maybe the most comfortable sofa in the history of the world). She is considering the two blues (top right). She also wants to add a footstool of sorts to her Wisteria chair. I got some samples for my suggested options. I think the flame stitch in the bottom right is option numero uno, but I love the peachy velvet and insisted that she make some pillows out of it regardless of anything else.</div>

Liam's gallery wall is a-growing. The tie one on the bottom right is a Salvatore Ferragamo ad I pulled out of my mom's New York Times magazine when I was like 15. It got my wheels turning because I've been seeing so many beautiful framed vintage bathing suits and baby clothes. I have a collection of my Uncle's old ties and I want to tie like 9 of my favorites, mount them on a white backdrop and frame them individually but hang them all together. Wouldn't that be fab?</div>

When I can't fix certain parts of the house, I resolve to fix other parts that don't really need fixing at all. This is an example. The arrangement shown above remains, but I think I am about to be the proud owner of a Fiddle Leaf Fig (shhh... Tommy doesn't know) - this new addition will require some more shuffling. Queue the music.</div>

I finally sold the Victorian style tufted chairs that I bought at auction. We moved our kitchen chairs (above) out to the dining room to see if we wanted to do a shuffle and have the Chiavari's out there for good. We decided no and went ahead with the ones we've had our eyes on... white Bertoia's. They are en route and I am SO excited.</div>

This is a fun photo from an Instagram photo challenge I did for Jen Bishop's 7 Vignettes. The subject was mementos and this photo contains: A carving by my great grandmother, a painting by Tommy's great aunt, a card that my mom gave me, moss balls from our wedding centerpieces, a Jade box that was my grandma's along with a set of her costume pearls, a set of cocktail glasses that were Tommy's grandfathers and China I brought back from Scotland. I feel so fortunate to have all of these things that mean something special to us.</div>

This was also from the photo challenge and I love this picture so much I think I will have it printed and framed. It is one of those images that will forever remind me of this house we have made our home and the lovely kitchen we have here.</div>

I am always hunting for something. Here's my current list...</div>

We inherited a set of <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Noritake-ASIAN-SONG-2-Salad-Plates-GOOD-CONDITION-7151-/120990543048">Noritake Asian Song</a> china from my husband's great aunts. Although it would not have been my first choice if I were selecting new china for purchase, it is quite lovely. I have long thought that some chic coordinates would really bring the Asian Song up a notch. And right now, I have my eyes on this faux bamboo <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/juliska-classic-bamboo-dinnerware?ID=495914&CategoryID=1000231&LinkType=#fn=DINNERWARE_TYPE%3DCharger%26spp%3D22%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D1%26rid%3D81">charger</a>, beautiful orchid hued <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/anna-weatherley-annas-palette-salad-plate?ID=673021&CategoryID=1000231&LinkType=#fn=spp%3D57%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D4%26rid%3D81">salad plate</a>, and fabulous green ikat <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/jasper-conran-at-wedgwood-kilim-accent-plate?ID=582955&CategoryID=1000231&LinkType=#fn=spp%3D94%26ppp%3D96">bread plate</a> to freshen up our family heirloom.</div>

I am always looking for great art for reasonable prices. Right now I need something colorful and contemporary to go above our sofa in the living room and something abstract for over our bed. Love this zebra number from <a href="http://www.stampa.us.com/products/britt-browne-zebra">Stampa</a>, as well as this fresh and flowing piece by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/124716452/colorful-abstract-painting-pink-acrylic?ref=v1_other_2">Lola Donoghue</a>.</div>

My vision for <a href="http://theavarice.blogspot.com/2012/02/baby-b.html">Liam's room</a> has always involved a mid century dresser, but we ended up repurposing Lilly's old one because we didn't find one in time that we loved that wasn't a million dollars. <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/storage-case-pieces/dressers/paul-mccobb-planner-group-low-dresser-1950s/id-f_758310/">This one</a> is basically everything I've ever dreamed of and more. And for $2200, I'll keep dreaming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you well know, the <a href="http://theavarice.blogspot.com/2013/03/side-of-table-part-2.html">side table</a> search continues, but <a href="http://www.zincdoor.com/p/Bungalow-5-Lauren-Rosewood-Side-Table__B5LAU10026.aspx">this one</a> keeps popping back in my head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may have also noticed that I'm having kind of a moment with yellow right now (proof <a href="http://theavarice.blogspot.com/2013/02/ma-chambre.html">here</a> and <a href="http://theavarice.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-hang-in-grid.html">here</a>). It really does go with everything and I think a touch of yellow does every room good. So I've been on the hunt for wonderful patterned fabric in shades of yellow. These are all from Schumacher and nothing I'd smack my grandma over, but they're the best I can find at present.</div>

This little gray ikat chair has been haunting me. It wants me and I want it. I also want to know who makes such a handsome gem of a sitting piece so that I may see all this vendor has to offer. But in a wicked turn of events, no one will tell me who makes the damn thing. As Bon Qui Qui would say, "Rude."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rugs. I have been looking for rugs and had general ruggery on the brain. In the words of the [Great] Big Lebowski, "That rug really tied the room together." And he is exactly right because that's just what rugs do. I love these boucharouite type jobs from <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-lexington/multi/200JRMO2A-5076.html">RugsUSA</a>, but the one I keep going back to is the pink and white striped <a href="http://www.laylagrayce.com/Products/Dash-and-Albert-Yacht-Stripe-Pink-Cotton-Rug__DARDA206.aspx">beauty</a>. You might remember it from <a href="http://theavarice.blogspot.com/2012/03/one-room-three-ways.html">here</a>.</div>

Last, to add to my case good bonanza, I am also seeking new nightstands. We are in a standstill until we move and can fit something other than the very narrow <a href="http://theavarice.blogspot.com/2013/02/ma-chambre.html">ones</a> we currently have. I have not decided if I am going to do matching or non matching, chests or tables, etc. etc. but I do love <a href="http://www.horchow.com/p/Harbor-Mirrored-Chest-Chests/cprod82310011_cat000011_cat16060761_/?isEditorial=false&index=74&seoDesigner=&cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000003cat16060761cat000011">these</a> and have had my eyes on them for a solid year.</div>

What are you searching for currently? I'd love to know ;)</div>

I first found out about Bailey after she was in HGTV magazine. I have since seen about a million versions of these photos, so either girlfriend changes around her house more than I do or she's moved. Either way, her aesthetic is divine. <br />

I love the outdoors and I love beautiful gardens, but I am so enamored with what goes on inside the home that I can't be bothered with yards. But this month, when I received my March-April Veranda, my mind was reeling after seeing Miles Redd's magic in Atlanta. The only thing that snapped me out of my Redd daze was the mention of Lake Geneva in the subtext of "A Cultured Jewel" about Caroline Scheufele's Swiss home. During my time in Europe, I visited some family friends in Switzerland and spent some time on the docks of Lake Geneva (Lake Leman as it is called there). Well, as you'll see, it is just plain ugly there and I can't imagine living in this reprehensible dump that she calls a villa. Pff.<br />

This weekend I did some rearranging and picture taking for an upcoming full reveal of Lilly's room over at <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/">hellobee</a>. The artwork on her walls hadn't been moved since she was in her crib and with her fab new bed and furniture arrangement, it was in need of some refreshing. <br />
While we were in DC over the holidays, I went to the C. Wonder store at Tyson's Corner. The line was out the door, but I found these faux bamboo rimmed plates and they were on sale. I hastily grabbed all that they had, not really knowing what I wanted to do with them, but thinking they would be wonderful displayed on a wall. I pulled them out this weekend and they ended up being the perfect polished addition to Lilly's big girl room. <br />
I hung them in a grid over her bed and used my God-goven over thought and over complicated common sense, so you'll excuse me if there is a much easier way out there. Here's the final product...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I laid the plates out on the ground to determine how I wanted to arrange them. I decided on the three by three grid and had a couple plates to spare.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then traced the plate outline on paper and cut out nine circles. I attached the plate hangers to the plates and then laid one pink cut out over the plate hanger and marked roughly where the nail would go. I used this one mark and marked all of the nine circles by overlaying them one at a time. I made the marks dark enough so I could see them through the overlaid paper. For this step, it is important to make sure you are using the same size plate hangers so you can make sure the nail hole is in roughly the same spot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using double sided tape I attached the cut out paper to the wall to determine where exactly I wanted them to hang. I eyeballed this step and didn't worry about being too exact.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I found a good spot for the middle plate, I used it as a guide. The nail hole I marked on the center paper was used for the spacing of the rest of the plates. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a level and the nail hole on the center plate, I drew a faint level line (on the cutouts) connecting the nail holes on the middle row of plates.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbsbmgL9kswWfUnAYledORt77-fWsc7v70fte962HtPHGt7l0vThAo6nr0EGNMMr_r2X3TcH-kozS8JOZlD_eM4E45I8m7EVHvVLJXa1KaD9Lz7m0wQ0MrXmG7khXvIxEXXlmvZI4kz6Nl/s1600/IMG_7297.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbsbmgL9kswWfUnAYledORt77-fWsc7v70fte962HtPHGt7l0vThAo6nr0EGNMMr_r2X3TcH-kozS8JOZlD_eM4E45I8m7EVHvVLJXa1KaD9Lz7m0wQ0MrXmG7khXvIxEXXlmvZI4kz6Nl/s640/IMG_7297.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then did the same thing with the level and drew a line for the middle column. The + made on the center plate became my more exact guideline. I then determined the exact spacing I wanted by moving the plates around until I found a distance I liked. Once I did, I measured the distance between the marking on the center plate and the one just left of center. I marked this number on my ruler and used this same number to mark the rest of the nail holes, using center as a guide. It doesn't matter what this number is, as long as you use it through out. You will probably end up making new nail hole marks on all of the plates. The most important part is that the nails are evenly spaced. As long as the nails are the same distance apart from top to bottom and left to right, you will have a lovely grid. </div>

So this afternoon, I put the kids down for a nap and finally sat down with my breakfast to check out my daily reads. After checking my email, I headed over to I SUWANNEE and I am here to report that FURBISH is giving away some beautiful pillows that I first saw on an Instagram post about a week ago and loved the pink and black combo - it reminded me of my new blog design, set to reveal very soon. My mom also follows FURBISH, Jamie Meares', etc. on Instagram and she was even more gaga for the pillows then I was. So if I win, I'm giving them to my mama. <br />
Now hop over to I SUWANNEE and peek around and then enter to win some beautiful pillows!<br />

Just as a disclaimer, I only included side tables of the side table variety and not of the over scale grand table size variety. I really love that look, but I don't currently have the space for it, so if you do, pooh pooh on you. Number 20 on the list is actually a dining table from Dwell Studio, so it's not really an option, but I loved the proportions and think if I could scale it down, it would probably be my most favorite side table evah. <br />

Part II'm on the hunt for a side table and you know I don't mess around. I'm thorough. I need to make sure I am familiar with all of my options before I make a decision. So, I have recruited a team of the best side tables this side of the internet for your viewing pleasure. But before we get to that, we need to talk about a few things.<br />
<br />
Side tables are something I always have a difficult time with. I think they are one of those small details that can make an entire room but are too often an afterthought. As with anything else, it's not so much the table itself, but the context you put it in. I have a thing about side table height, namely I always lean toward a side table that is the same height or slightly lower than the sofa or chair arm. For instance:<br />

Clearly, it can be done beautifully in a multitude of ways. However, I do think that playing with the height can be reconciled partially by the lamps (or lack thereof), especially when you have two non matching end tables. If you choose a tall end table (relative to your chair or sofa) perhaps a shorter lamp is in order. On the other hand, if a short table is what you want, match it with a taller lamp. I dare say that when you choose a taller side table, it seems more like a tall side table that happens to be next to a sofa as a opposed to a side table intentionally placed next to a sofa or chair to hold drinks and the like. A tall dresser or table next to a shorter sofa or chair is a chance for another vignette or moment in the room, great for housing a scupture, beautiful books or anchoring an eye catching piece of art.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now let's talk about depth. This is a little more clear cut because it can be easily determined by space and function. Do you have room for a generous end table? Do you have need for a generous end table? (ie. lots of books, pictures, artifacts, etc.) And if you have the space, who cares about the stuff because a larger than necessary end table can make everything in a room feel more grand! I present, Exhibit B...</div>

A dining room worthy table used next to a sofa (or bed) is such a fabulous touch when done correctly and confidently. It kind of becomes it's own entity and area of the room, instead of playing a supporting role. There is something almost regal about adding a huge end table to a space and the scale change up creates some seriously good tension in the room.</div>

It's like musical beds around these parts. Anyhow, I took some photos of our bedroom when I was taking pictures for the Elizabeth St. <a href="http://www.elizabethstreet.com/content/kid-friendly-design?section=home">article</a> and I just realized that I haven't really shared our home since we kind of "finished" it. It is on the market now so I had to call it quits and stop decorating even though it's really never done. I'm sure you can imagine it's been VERY difficult for me to not try and change/improve things. I'm sitting on my hands and it's driving me crazy!! So anyway, here's our bedroom. Done as it will ever be. (Side note: I have been looking for a green cashmere throw for the bed to break up the sea of white I got goin' on, but I just haven't found the nuanced shade of green that I'm seeking. I'm also in the market for new nightstands. I just think it's too matchy matchy and these are unofficially sold to a lucky gal who found my Craigslist post. Worlds Away has <a href="http://worlds-away.com/product/katie-ice-glass-3-drawer-chest">some</a> that I'm quite interested in but they won't fit in this house so now I wait.)<br />

Chelsea over at <a href="http://goforthcreative.com/">GoForth Creative</a> along with Dennise of <a href="http://tenacious-dee.com/">Tenacious Dee</a> (awesome name, right?) have been working on my new site and, I tell you what, these are two talented lady birds.

Pretty super, right? It's all I can show for now, but the final site should be up and running soon. In the meantime, I have to admit, I am a little reticent to continue posting here because we are moving to Wordpress and will have a new address http://www.TheAvarice.com. So that's my update. Hope you're doing fabulous. Feel free to check in with me and just say Hello. Always love hearing from you.</div>

Until then, I'll let writer Tim Kreider say some what I've been thinking for weeks...<br />

If you live in America in the 21st century you’ve probably had to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are. It’s become the default response when you ask anyone how they’re doing: “Busy!” “<em>So</em> busy.” “<em>Crazy</em> busy.” It is, pretty obviously, a boast disguised as a complaint. And the stock response is a kind of congratulation: “That’s a good problem to have,” or “Better than the opposite.”</div>

Notice it isn’t generally people pulling back-to-back shifts in the I.C.U. or commuting by bus to three minimum-wage jobs who tell you how busy they are; what those people are is not busy but <em>tired. Exhausted. Dead on their feet</em>. It’s almost always people whose lamented busyness is purely self-imposed: work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily, classes and activities they’ve “encouraged” their kids to participate in. They’re busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they’re addicted to busyness and dread what they might have to face in its absence.<br /><span id="more-130759"></span><br />Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they aren’t either working or doing something to promote their work. They schedule in time with friends the way students with 4.0 G.P.A.’s make sure to sign up for community service because it looks good on their college applications. I recently wrote a friend to ask if he wanted to do something this week, and he answered that he didn’t have a lot of time but if something was going on to let him know and maybe he could ditch work for a few hours. I wanted to clarify that my question had not been a preliminary heads-up to some future invitation; this<em>was</em> the invitation. But his busyness was like some vast churning noise through which he was shouting out at me, and I gave up trying to shout back over it.</div>

Even <em>children</em> are busy now, scheduled down to the half-hour with classes and extracurricular activities. They come home at the end of the day as tired as grown-ups. I was a member of the latchkey generation and had three hours of totally unstructured, largely unsupervised time every afternoon, time I used to do everything from surfing the World Book Encyclopedia to making animated films to getting together with friends in the woods to chuck dirt clods directly into one another’s eyes, all of which provided me with important skills and insights that remain valuable to this day. Those free hours became the model for how I wanted to live the rest of my life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 166px; text-align: left;">
The present hysteria is not a necessary or inevitable condition of life; it’s something we’ve chosen, if only by our acquiescence to it. Not long ago I Skyped with a friend who was driven out of the city by high rent and now has an artist’s residency in a small town in the south of France. She described herself as happy and relaxed for the first time in years. She still gets her work done, but it doesn’t consume her entire day and brain. She says it feels like college — she has a big circle of friends who all go out to the cafe together every night. She has a boyfriend again. (She once ruefully summarized dating in New York: “Everyone’s too busy and everyone thinks they can do better.”) What she had mistakenly assumed was her personality — driven, cranky, anxious and sad — turned out to be a deformative effect of her environment. It’s not as if any of us wants to live like this, any more than any one person wants to be part of a traffic jam or stadium trampling or the hierarchy of cruelty in high school — it’s something we collectively force one another to do.</div>

Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day. I once knew a woman who interned at a magazine where she wasn’t allowed to take lunch hours out, lest she be urgently needed for some reason. This was an entertainment magazine whose raison d’être was obviated when “menu” buttons appeared on remotes, so it’s hard to see this pretense of indispensability as anything other than a form of institutional self-delusion. More and more people in this country no longer make or do anything tangible; if your job wasn’t performed by a cat or a boa constrictor in a Richard Scarry book I’m not sure I believe it’s necessary. I can’t help but wonder whether all this histrionic exhaustion isn’t a way of covering up the fact that most of what we do doesn’t matter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 166px; text-align: left;">
I am not busy. I am the laziest ambitious person I know. Like most writers, I feel like a reprobate who does not deserve to live on any day that I do not write, but I also feel that four or five hours is enough to earn my stay on the planet for one more day. On the best ordinary days of my life, I write in the morning, go for a long bike ride and run errands in the afternoon, and in the evening I see friends, read or watch a movie. This, it seems to me, is a sane and pleasant pace for a day. And if you call me up and ask whether I won’t maybe blow off work and check out the new American Wing at the Met or ogle girls in Central Park or just drink chilled pink minty cocktails all day long, I will say, what time?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 166px; text-align: left;">
But just in the last few months, I’ve insidiously started, because of professional obligations, to become busy. For the first time I was able to tell people, with a straight face, that I was “too busy” to do this or that thing they wanted me to do. I could see why people enjoy this complaint; it makes you feel important, sought-after and put-upon. Except that I hate actually being busy. Every morning my in-box was full of e-mails asking me to do things I did not want to do or presenting me with problems that I now had to solve. It got more and more intolerable until finally I fled town to the Undisclosed Location from which I’m writing this.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 166px; text-align: left;">
Here I am largely unmolested by obligations. There is no TV. To check e-mail I have to drive to the library. I go a week at a time without seeing anyone I know. I’ve remembered about buttercups, stink bugs and the stars. I read. And I’m finally getting some real writing done for the first time in months. It’s hard to find anything to say about life without immersing yourself in the world, but it’s also just about impossible to figure out what it might be, or how best to say it, without getting the hell out of it again.</div>

Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration — it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done. “Idle dreaming is often of the essence of what we do,” wrote Thomas Pynchon in his essay on sloth. Archimedes’ “Eureka” in the bath, Newton’s apple, Jekyll & Hyde and the benzene ring: history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments and dreams. It almost makes you wonder whether loafers, goldbricks and no-accounts aren’t responsible for more of the world’s great ideas, inventions and masterpieces than the hardworking.</div>

“The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That’s why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.” This may sound like the pronouncement of some bong-smoking anarchist, but it was actually Arthur C. Clarke, who found time between scuba diving and pinball games to write “Childhood’s End” and think up communications satellites. My old colleague Ted Rall recently wrote a column proposing that we divorce income from work and give each citizen a guaranteed paycheck, which sounds like the kind of lunatic notion that’ll be considered a basic human right in about a century, like abolition, universal suffrage and eight-hour workdays. The Puritans turned work into a virtue, evidently forgetting that God invented it as a punishment.</div>

Perhaps the world would soon slide to ruin if everyone behaved as I do. But I would suggest that an ideal human life lies somewhere between my own defiant indolence and the rest of the world’s endless frenetic hustle. My role is just to be a bad influence, the kid standing outside the classroom window making faces at you at your desk, urging you to just this once make some excuse and get out of there, come outside and play. My own resolute idleness has mostly been a luxury rather than a virtue, but I did make a conscious decision, a long time ago, to choose time over money, since I’ve always understood that the best investment of my limited time on earth was to spend it with people I love. I suppose it’s possible I’ll lie on my deathbed regretting that I didn’t work harder and say everything I had to say, but I think what I’ll really wish is that I could have one more beer with Chris, another long talk with Megan, one last good hard laugh with Boyd. Life is too short to be busy.</div>

It is a beautifully curated collection of wonderful objets all placed against bold backdrops. <br />
<br />
Lately, I've been testing a theory that says you can get away with more mixing/patterns/eccentricities in decor when you have something bold on the walls. This space makes a damn good case for that theory. But don't be fooled. This in no way means that any old Joe can paint the walls a whacky color and let the mixing begin. Oh no no no. The more I learn about this career that I have chosen, the more I realize how difficult it is to make a home look as effortlessly mixed as this one. The line between a beautifully curated melange and a total mess is extremely thin. So, please. Proceed with caution.<br />

So about six weeks ago, our little man began having some pretty worrisome digestive problems. It started soon after he was accidentally given a bottle of Lilly's goat milk, but continued for weeks (and still to this day). I have taken him to several doctors and one allergist and everyone seems to think that it's a dairy and soy allergy so I have cut those completely from my diet. It hasn't gotten dramatically better, but I haven't seen any blood in his diapers in a while, so that's a plus. Long story short, I have been doing a lot of research on allergens and food and become even more of a food nut than I already was. I am a sweets person and one thing I have deeply missed is pancakes. With a little searching, I found these vegan pancakes on <a href="http://www.theppk.com/">The Post Punk Kitchen</a> and they are out of this world divine. I substitute almond milk for soy milk and use EarthBalance soy free spread in place of butter. It's better than the real thing.</div>

The others are contenders to go on aforementioned wing chair, pillows and possibly a green and white custom rug inspired by this fabulous green fabric... we shall see.

But never fear, all of that changed tonight. I got on the computer to do some work and I got distracted for maybe hours looking at <a href="http://the-northernlight.com/">The Northern Light</a> - do you know of her? I won't waste time with introductions- educate yourself on your time- because I have to jump right into her fabulous outfits before my head explodes, like this one...<br />

Notice the same boots. One of the things I love about her outfits- you see the same pieces come up again and again, but completely reinvented, which is just so European.

Which brings me to my closing argument. There is no coincidence that I am rediscovering the wonders of fabulous fashion at a time when my own "mum's" workspace/studio is being redesigned. Hedvig here (that's her name- The Northern Light girl) is a true artist in her own right and her flare for wardrobe styling jumps through her blog and drop kicks you in the face. I feel completely inspired to dust off my old Singer, strap my pin cushion to my wrist and tape measure around my neck and begin running fabric under that pounding needle like there ain't no tomorrow. BUT, if I wan't it done the right way, I will leave it to a real fashion designer: my mama. So, mom, if you're reading, here are a few of the items I will be commissioning from you and your brand new workspace in the coming months...</div>

I know I have posted this picture before, but it is one of my forever favorites and I keep thinking that black walls would be fabulous in mommy dearest's workspace. I especially like how they've kept it modern in this space by painting the moldings and window panes.</div>

White, bright, clear, crisp. If my mom was a novelist I would put this one in my back pocket for inspiration, but it may be a little too stark for her. Her workspace is where she will create beautiful dresses, draperies and more and I think we need more going on than this in order to hide all of the messes she'll make!</div>

Here's the light bright white effect again, but this time, it could work because of the contrasts created with the black and white artwork and dark floors. I could definitely layer in the warm whites with some texture and a cowhide. Yum. The question really comes to, does she want a blank canvas or an oasis of color and inspiration. Talking points for the next meeting ;) </div>

I grabbed this image because there is a twin bed that has to be incorporated in the space. I want to treat it like a daybed/lounge because she only has overnight visitors a few times a year. So I was thinking two 38" bolsters on each side and pillows along the back. It would be cool to make a mattress cover with tufts and huge piping so that it would look like a french mattress and then a coordinating bedskirt with beautiful frill just like that above! Bingo!</div>

I LOVE this carpet. Love it. And I can't find it ANYWHERE, which drives me nutty. I am not generally a fan of carpet, but having a family changes things. I want our home to be as cozy as possible in every way. And if carpet is a must for a comfy home, then it's gotta be leopard. Duh. Although, I have had no luck finding the exact carpet used by The Decorista, I did find several other fabulous options. Here's my leopard carpet round-up:</div>

Delete that. I love beautiful things. Call me shallow or snobbish, I don't care. It's how I am wired and there's no turning back now. Fortunately, I am <i>almost</i> as pragmatic as I am exorbitant. Almost. This is quite the contradiction, I know, and it stirs up all sorts of internal disputes. Mostly because I want things that are ridiculous to want and I recognize all of the other places money could be spent. I can justify almost anything if I want it bad enough, but there are certain things that I am not sure I will ever bring myself to purchase, even when I can afford them. Here are a current few of those things...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
one. Item number one is of maybe three shown here that I would and could absolutely be okay with purchasing despite the price. Exceptions are always made for fine art, especially when they look like this. Wowza. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
two. This is the first I've heard of joailliere Nak Armstrong, but I think this ring is perfection. There is something marvelous about the contrast created by brushed gold and a rough edge against diamonds and emeralds. Splendide!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
three. The perfect dresser. A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. Just like me. I want one on each side of the bed to function as his and hers dresser/nightstands. My husband is always reorganizing my side of our dresser (true story) and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. A girl needs some privacy. If my underwear drawer is fair game for his OCD tendencies, then what's next? My purse? (gasp!) It's time we each had our own dresser and that's that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
four. You know what they say, "Once you go silk, you never go back." No one says that, but ever since I bought my modest silk Aubusson rug at auction, I have been cuckoo over silk rugs. They feel like a party under my feet and I want more MORE MORE! What's more, I have been lusting after one of ABC Rug & Home's dyed rugs for eva and this color really gets my motor going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
five. I recommended these Baker drum stools to a client in May and I have wanted them ever since. I have no idea how much they are, but they're Baker, so they have to be pricey right? (Someone please prove me wrong)... They sure would look purdy with that pinky peach silk rug. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
six. I want a Hermes blanket, okay? Lots of people have them and I got online the other day to price one out because I need a throw for the end of my bed and I thought well, I'm going to spend a few hundo on a cashmere job, so why not spring for the Hermes beauty? Boy was I naive. One of these things will set me back a cool $1300. Really guys? For a blanket. I don't know, I just can't get with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
seven. (To the trade. Contact me for price and purchasing information) While perusing some Brunschwig & Fils velvet, I came across this amazing fabric. I want to walk on it, sit on it, sleep with it, wrap myself in it, but I think for the price I'll be happy to just have a pillow made from it one day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
eight. Feminine, yet strong. I am storing these in the back of my head for a future client. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
nine. I have wanted a Jerome Dreyfuss bag since I lived in France. This is one of those items that I just may be able to justify one day. Maybe. Let's talk this through. It's roughly a grand for this bag. One thousand dollars. For a bag. Just think about that for a second. And sadly enough, that's really not that much for a designer bag. On the other hand, the leather is so soft and supple that it could double as my nightly headrest. The dual purpose may help me to rationalize this purchase.</div>

I want to talk about why at some point, but I haven't yet thought of a professional way to do so. Until I do, I will pretend I never went away and attempt to renew my love for design. I will say that I got the wind knocked out of my sails. That is as articulate as I get for now.<br />
<br />
Our Home Beautification Act is pretty much always "in effect" but now that we know we are moving for sure, we are in a mad dash to "finish" the house. (By we, I mean me. Solo.) The most recent addition to the completed rooms list is Liam's room, which he'll probably never sleep in or even use, but it is his room and it's as close to finished as it will ever be.<br />

It was another one of those weeks. I am looking forward to the full moon on Sunday so that everything can finally get back to somewhat normal. Until then, I'd like to put everything else on hold, but that's not possible, so I am doing my best to lay low. I was going to share a glimpse into my mind on this Friday afternoon, but I don't want to subject you to that, so instead, I'm seeking refuge in these sanctuary like spaces...<br />
