I am starting to tire of gray days for sure! That's why I was so glad to find some fresh perspective on one of my favorite blogs desire to inspire. They featured designer Anna Spiro my new found hero. Finally! Someone who is not afraid of color and pattern! I am so encouraged by her bold statements and smart respect for scale. When I look at this post I feel like I'm not crazy and someone understands. -dannIan & Dannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166950766777259649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407616470167971952.post-11781746248398853612009-01-20T19:02:00.004-06:002009-02-04T00:49:33.658-06:00I'm Having an Affair<center><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SXZ0cjlqIzI/AAAAAAAAAd8/DeP4HUihf4w/s1600-h/chester+sofa+mgbw.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SXZ0cjlqIzI/AAAAAAAAAd8/DeP4HUihf4w/s400/chester+sofa+mgbw.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293546445958947634" /></a></center><br />So I'm sitting on my sofa having an affair with Chester.

I don't think that is any surprise. So as a visual merchandiser for a furniture boutique in Nashville, I had to get creative. Basically, let's look fabulous but don't spend any money. Oh, back to my roots! I knew that this holiday season should reflect a scaled back sensibility and that the organic back to our roots message needed to be the main statement. No reason it shouldn't still feel lux. Anyway, I had been walking past a stack of old shipping pallets for months, wondering what else they could become. A 13 foot tree, 5 huge wreaths and just about anything else you can imagine later, and I think we have a winning look. I want this tree for my house but I think I'm too tired for any more pallet creations for this Christmas. All I have to say is, I am so thankful for the brad nailer my parents got me for Christmas a few years ago!!! -dannIan & Dannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166950766777259649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407616470167971952.post-33358017105763466252008-11-24T20:36:00.019-06:002008-11-24T22:56:48.515-06:00The Hamptons, Meet RRLIf you read Elle Decor, you may be familiar with a shortlist each issue, where they ask some design-savvy individual the "12 things he/she can't live without." Well, the December issue of Elle Decor features John Derian, a New York artist turned designer, who converted an East Village shop into a showcase for his eclectic creations. His expanding business includes a textiles annex and soon-to-be opened antique-and vintage- furniture showroom in Manhattan, as well as a summer outpost in Provincetown, Massachusetts. You may have also seen his name on a capsule collection for Target and a line of upholstered seating. In other words, this man has it going on. His taste is relatively impeccable. If you are wondering what the hell this has to do with anything, I just thought I would fill you in on the rabbit trail I followed to arrive at this post. <p> So here it is... in the fashion of flawless taste, Derian lists RRL clothing by Ralph Lauren as his #3 in the shortlist of 12. The following photos are of the relatively new RRL in East Hampton. Even though I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of Ralph Lauren, RRL is undeniable. I think I am drawn to this line because it is demonstrative of the <i>real</i> Ralph Lauren; Ralph Lauren the man, an icon of american fashion, not Ralph Lauren, a label on an irregular polo at TJ Maxx. As you can see by the fabulous photos, this is less prep and more americana, which suits me just fine. Anyway... I dare you not to drool. The exterior is enough for me, let alone the brilliant interior. Simply beautiful. -ian<p><br /> <center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SStmFzGQTPI/AAAAAAAAAc8/hT1yuayc27Y/s1600-h/rc51308_2_0043.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Well, if are willing to ignore the notion that spending money on something to help you save money is counter-productive, then check out these <b>SUPER CUTE</b> options from <a href="http://www.ourchildrensgorilla.com" target="_blank">Our Children's Gorilla</a>. Choose between "IL BUONO" and "IL CATTIVO," artisan-interpreted classic western characters, meaning "Good" & "Bad." These are two of many items on this site that has me eager for children on which to spend money despite the economic slump. See for yourself.

Above is the A/W '08 Collection in two parts. Take a moment to admire the simplicity and detail in every garment. They are the kind of company that makes me want to blow my entire fashion budget for a season on one outfit. I wouldn't mind wearing it every day.

I saw this <a href="http://www.vitra.com" target="_blank">Vitra</a> sofa in a magazine several years ago and then I lost the picture. Then it just showed up in Elle Decor this month.

This is definitely on my top ten list! -dannIan & Dannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166950766777259649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407616470167971952.post-60168403811703013002008-10-13T18:49:00.005-05:002008-11-03T19:38:28.070-06:00A Nod to Nature<center><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SPPey14_VdI/AAAAAAAAAbc/KbILafOeZ08/s1600-h/felted+wool+cushions+viva+terra.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SPPey14_VdI/AAAAAAAAAbc/KbILafOeZ08/s400/felted+wool+cushions+viva+terra.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256790155112437202" /></a></center><br />So it's been a while since I have posted. I think that I ran out of inspiration...Well this fall it seems to be all about nature. Maybe it's phase two of the Green movement, maybe it's the fact that nature never goes out of style. Either way I am mad for these felted wool stone ottomans. Not only are they dramatic as all get out but they also have a great story.

It's called <a href="http://www.reformschoolrules.com" target"_blank">reformschoolrules.com</a>. They feature great art, accessories,books, and jewelry all with an eco-friendly story. These graphic posters are printed with soy based inks on recycled paper. I love mixing these graphics into art collages and at this price I can put a few other things in my cart.

He paid a visit to Mecox in LA where he selected this octopus triptych. It has haunted me for weeks! Who do I have to sleep with to get one of these? I love the drama of the color! Then this week I stumbled onto this fabulous linen pillow from <a href="http://www.hudsonboston.com/" target"_blank">Hudson Boston</a> and this dramatic image again.

I may not have a car that I have to enter from an open side window but maybe I'll settle for a little design mayhem. I imagine that this fabric from <a href="http://reprodepot.com" target="_blank">Reprodepot</a> would make a very rebellious shower curtain. These pillows from <a href="http://jonathanadler.com" target="_blank">Jonathan Adler</a> could stir up a little trouble on any sofa! And while you're in the mood, Ian recommends downloading "Muscle Car (featuring Freeform Five)" by Mylo <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=121023193&id=121023901&s=143441" target="_blank">here</a>.

Alexander Girard was a genius! His textile designs for Herman Miller are icons from an era of icons. I was thrilled to find that I can have a piece of the design pie with these fabulous pillows and floor mats from <a href="http://www.maximodesign.com" target="_blank">Maximo</a>. If you could only see the closet in my house specifically designated to pillows you might say I'm a glutton for pie! If you ever get a chance to read up on Girard, you will find his career fascinating and his designs unforgettable. -dannIan & Dannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166950766777259649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407616470167971952.post-14935251539284860452008-07-30T09:27:00.016-05:002008-12-10T10:28:11.064-06:00Quintessential New England: The Home of Alex Carleton<center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB72xOdwFI/AAAAAAAAAUs/SIQgJi1oWu0/s1600-h/mvrg1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB72xOdwFI/AAAAAAAAAUs/SIQgJi1oWu0/s400/mvrg1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228815348234305618" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB8EnU0kfI/AAAAAAAAAU0/9o9eY3vJBWY/s1600-h/mvrg2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB8EnU0kfI/AAAAAAAAAU0/9o9eY3vJBWY/s400/mvrg2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228815586094780914" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB8WQgGzAI/AAAAAAAAAU8/VLhpCo870RI/s1600-h/mvrg3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB8WQgGzAI/AAAAAAAAAU8/VLhpCo870RI/s400/mvrg3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228815889205742594" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB8nYiC87I/AAAAAAAAAVE/BtswIEXpve8/s1600-h/mvrg4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB8nYiC87I/AAAAAAAAAVE/BtswIEXpve8/s400/mvrg4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228816183419138994" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB85VmcvBI/AAAAAAAAAVM/N0SUiHaMZCw/s1600-h/mvrg5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB85VmcvBI/AAAAAAAAAVM/N0SUiHaMZCw/s400/mvrg5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228816491869944850" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB9J3BKy5I/AAAAAAAAAVU/M2yfJtl5whw/s1600-h/mvrg6.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SJB9J3BKy5I/AAAAAAAAAVU/M2yfJtl5whw/s400/mvrg6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228816775718292370" /></a></center><center>Images courtesy of <a href="http://www.acontinuouslean.com" target="_blank">A Continuous Lean</a></center><br /><a href="http://www.mensvogue.com" target="_blank">Men's Vogue</a> was wise enough to do a spread on <a href="http://www.roguesgallery.com" target="_blank">Rogues Gallery</a> (see our first post) creator Alex Carleton's stunning home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. In the article, Carleton discusses his inspiration for the brand. The pictures really speak for themselves--Carleton is a man of authenticity when it comes to creating a company like Rogues Gallery. For years I've admired Rogues as a brand for taking cues from a dusty, mysterious maritime past. Now, after seeing this article, I love them even more. Plus, where do I move in?

Such an icon of the moment. I have been collecting the metal and plastic wall plaques from the 70's for years because the image is so graphic. Enter the collage pillows from <a href="http://www.jonathanadler.com" target="_blank">Jonathan Adler</a>. I can vouch for the fact that these pillows go with everything since I have moved mine all over the house. Right now they are on my sofa, next week the guest room. Then there are these other two pieces from West Elm. Has <a href="http://www.westelm.com" target="_blank">West Elm </a>hired someone new? Their brand new product line is unbelievable!

That's why she didn't mind when I stapled over 100 vintage burlap feed bags to the ceiling in my bedroom! Now that's an encouraging parent. How exciting to see this simple and rustic texture almost beaten into the ground in the 70's make a comeback. It was only a matter of time before it felt fresh again. What makes it even better is to see it applied to this amazing Louis XV canopy chair from <a href="http://jaysonhomeandgarden.com" target="_blank">Jayson Home and Garden</a>. I have been captivated by this sillouette ever since pouring over the work of design maven Kelly Wearstler. These burlap pillows from <a href="http://www.sugarboodesigns.com" target="_blank">SugarBoo Designs</a> are the perfect jewelry to introduce a little rustic glamour into your own interior. -dannIan & Dannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166950766777259649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407616470167971952.post-77883678881548461282008-07-09T22:26:00.007-05:002008-12-10T10:28:14.435-06:00What Our Children Will Be Buying on Ebay<center><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJG5Ja5I/AAAAAAAAARw/9K3FXw7Yirs/s1600-h/bike+art+farmer.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJG5Ja5I/AAAAAAAAARw/9K3FXw7Yirs/s400/bike+art+farmer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221222435986697106" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJChgPAI/AAAAAAAAAR4/feWMA7yFV_c/s1600-h/home+sweet+home+art+farmer.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJChgPAI/AAAAAAAAAR4/feWMA7yFV_c/s400/home+sweet+home+art+farmer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221222434813787138" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJHuUDFI/AAAAAAAAASA/ACv0D80Gh34/s1600-h/love+art+farmer.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJHuUDFI/AAAAAAAAASA/ACv0D80Gh34/s400/love+art+farmer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221222436209691730" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJVOo53I/AAAAAAAAASI/Sa8IiqmnTVw/s1600-h/sun+face+art+farmer.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJVOo53I/AAAAAAAAASI/Sa8IiqmnTVw/s400/sun+face+art+farmer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221222439834937202" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJavoJLI/AAAAAAAAASQ/0HsCAXeePGE/s1600-h/spike+art+farmer.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SHWCJavoJLI/AAAAAAAAASQ/0HsCAXeePGE/s400/spike+art+farmer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221222441315476658" /></a></center><br />I found these amazing screen printed art pieces in a little shop and thought I had won the lottery. Made in the charming little beach town of Grand Haven,MI they have loads of style and are so incredibly cheap! Did your parents have the nature themed screen prints on linen by the artist Marooshka?

A couple years ago these may have been risky, but this season it's hard to go anywhere without seeing someone donning these puppies.

Some bags like the <a href="http://www.feedbag.org" target="_blank">Feed</a> bag are reusable and also raise money for a good cause. Some bags make a statement (literally) like the bags from <a href="http://www.greenhome.com" target="_blank">Greenhome</a>, or inject a little glamour into green like this one from <a href="http://www.scoopnyc.com" target="_target">ScoopNYC</a>.

This season, if it's got bark still attached, I'm all over it! -dannIan & Dannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166950766777259649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407616470167971952.post-91928700513197568372008-06-27T20:57:00.010-05:002008-12-10T10:28:19.927-06:00Art for your bed<center><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGWbNNcthnI/AAAAAAAAANU/_uGukbopI9g/s1600-h/shelly+klein+crying+pillow.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGWbNNcthnI/AAAAAAAAANU/_uGukbopI9g/s400/shelly+klein+crying+pillow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216746394629277298" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGWbNWhggnI/AAAAAAAAANk/5Mc9T5hyim8/s1600-h/heartonsleeve+shelly+klein.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGWbNWhggnI/AAAAAAAAANk/5Mc9T5hyim8/s400/heartonsleeve+shelly+klein.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216746397065314930" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXQceVVt0I/AAAAAAAAAN8/69brjHEJaUM/s1600-h/maleface-01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXQceVVt0I/AAAAAAAAAN8/69brjHEJaUM/s400/maleface-01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216804930976069442" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXWjsOFOcI/AAAAAAAAAOU/Cj3jYeSaq8Y/s1600-h/bird-02.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXWjsOFOcI/AAAAAAAAAOU/Cj3jYeSaq8Y/s400/bird-02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216811652032575938" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXRdQwcXnI/AAAAAAAAAOM/QT04M3zHU9E/s1600-h/kstu_family_MFFM_dog_LRG.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXRdQwcXnI/AAAAAAAAAOM/QT04M3zHU9E/s400/kstu_family_MFFM_dog_LRG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216806044023152242" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXQrKveF7I/AAAAAAAAAOE/7zvZF111FZg/s1600-h/kstu_pillow_conjoined_hemp_LRG.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXQrKveF7I/AAAAAAAAAOE/7zvZF111FZg/s400/kstu_pillow_conjoined_hemp_LRG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216805183414998962" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXQO1W9eEI/AAAAAAAAAN0/NF6jMjyw3_k/s1600-h/kstu_pillow_natural_everyday+people_LRG.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBD2XbKs_tM/SGXQO1W9eEI/AAAAAAAAAN0/NF6jMjyw3_k/s400/kstu_pillow_natural_everyday+people_LRG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216804696638715970" /></a></center><br />These pillows are especially near to my heart because they are made by a local artist from my hometown of Grand Rapids, MI. The artist Shelly Klein sews these designs on natural linen and cotton. The people in her art pieces really speak to me and there is no better signature piece for any sofa or bed. They look fabulous with the <a href="http://www.matteohome.com" target="_blank">Matteo</a> bedding we posted the other day.
