Meant to Be

I added two new additions to my home:

The story goes:

I dropped by my favorite resale shop and saw these two beautiful mid-century globe lamps that happened to perfectly complement the color scheme of my home. I already had several things in my hands and had to relieve me of some items before coming back to grab the fixtures. When I returned to grab the lamps (less than 5 minutes later), they were already sitting in the arms of an excited young hipster and her mother. After discovering that the one lamp they plugged in didn't work (it didn't have a bulb in it), they gave up. I was spying on this situation the whole time and rushed in for the kill. Thank you to the girl who said, "They're cool but not that cool, right mom?" The not-so-cool lamps made my day.

Wishlist Wednesdays: CB2 Roundup

A smattering of my current faves at CB2.

Sputnik Splendor

I'm a big fan of the atomic era especially for its funky and whimsical designs. One classic piece from this genre is the Sputnik. If you keep the rest of the room simple and modern, the Sputnik can be a standout statement without being too kitschy.

Below is a roundup of some of my favorites:

3. Kare at Haier Boutique
