Coffee Table

Hello, everyone. Here I am - two days in a row! Can you believe it?

I finally figured out (or at least I think I figured it out) why our daughter has been such a handful recently, and the fact that she has two huge teeth bulging through her little sensitive gums may have something to do with it. So, with the mystery of how our adorable, charming child became a grumpy little thing solved, I now have some time to do the design research that I love to do.

CB2 just came out with their new catalog (you can view it online), and I love the warmth and simplicity of the Whit Coffee Table.

It is made of 100% eco-friendly shesham wood (fast-growing and from sustainable forests), and only costs $299. I adore the craftsmanship of the leg detail and the 2" wide slats that make up the top.
Also, if you need to, you could store art books, magazines, etc. under the table instead of purchasing a bookshelf, thereby freeing up some space elsewhere in your home.

Dining Chair

I owe anyone who reads this blog an apology. I have been absent for quite some time now, and there is really no good excuse. I have been running around after my toddler, and I now understand why everyone says the toddler years are busy ones. P seems to want to explore everything, including dog poop on the street and plugs...it's exhausting. But it's also really darn cute.

Today I'd like to show you these fabulous chairs I came across on Design Public, the Context Furniture William & Mary Market Cafe Chair. comes in maple and walnut

They are no bargain at $598 each (they come in maple and walnut, the latter is shown above), but I love the reference to both antique styling (in the details on the front legs) and the Eames' LCW and DCW chairs.

Coolest Watch Ever!

My mother gave my hubby this watch

and it just may be the best gift she's ever given him! You can't help but stare at it and once you learn how to tell time on it, you feel like one cool dude. It is available from the Moma Store for $150. (Don't be surprised if someone makes fun of you for wearing a calculator watch before they realize what it is!)

Eames Design Classic

It's been a while since I've posted anything new - I apologize.

Today I decided to show you one of my favorite design classics by Charles and Ray Eames - the Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, LCW. At $649, it is not a steal, but it truly is a gorgeous piece of furniture and one that could be passed down from generation to generation. It comes in walnut (shown below), red, and ash, and personally, I'm loving the warmth and richness of the walnut. A pair of these would look delightful in our living room.
