Who says babies need pastels? (Other than baby companies?)

In the same style as the map of the United States. :)

Knock-offs and Cheating

I love Pottery Barn, but I hate their prices. They usually have really neat things that seem to be outrageously priced. However, my cousin had a catalog today that really interested me and I'm glad I looked.

Too bad I can't save them or hotlink them to show you, so you'll have to open it up for yourself to see them.

Number Plaques and Home Plaques look like what they had through PB recently.

Also, they made it easier to follow the crowds:

Personalized Photo Art, all the rage on D&R for nesties recently.

Pottery Barn Kids!

I got the new Pottery Barn Kids catalog today and wish I could completely fill my house with kids so I can use all the cool stuff they have in there now! And now, it's too bad they haven't gotten their website updated. They have geography clocks (item # 02-5711838 for the United States) that remind me of the UK clock I recently posted. Then, the butterfly mirrors (item #02-9907064) are gorgeous and remind me of an antique mirror. There's a new version of the USA Map from the last entry (item #02-5703194) that is cute as well.

Oh gosh, just looking at this catalog and all the cute baby bedding will give me baby fever again!

USA Map

I fell in love with a recycled license plate map on eBay. But not with it's price tag. ($799+) I've found a few imitations. I saw one from Pottery Barn that was printed on canvas, but PBK has since discontinued it. This one, however, is just as nice.


USA Map

While it's missing two of the 50 states, it's also cheaper than the alternatives. Here's one more (expensive) one.

Another Rug Day

While contemplating replacing our wall-to-wall berber carpet with laminate wood, I realized I would need rugs. So it's my current obsession.

Art as "art".

As a former art student, my heart lies with two styles: abstract expressionism and pop art. The two people who revolutionized those styles: Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol.


Arabesque by Jackson Pollock


Warhol Soup Can Vase

I don't know if Warhol's 15 minutes are up yet, but I don't care. I really like the soup can. :P
