Every now and then I like to stroll through Etsy and Ebay and search for great deals on art.  I’m not sure why I do this because I have a stack of art sitting in my living room that I have no wall space to display!  OK…Sorry about the digression…  During my search today I stumbled across these beautiful lamp shades from House of Chintz on Etsy.  Not exactly what I was looking for, but such a pleasant find!

The artist, Kate Boyce, grew up in Middle England and these shades are a light hearted look at this suburban area.  I think they’re beautiful!

Life just got a bit more grand when I learned about Amy Howard’s revolutionary one-step paint!  Use it on Formica, plastic, metal, lacquered wood and everything in between!  You have the opportunity to participate in a workshop with Amy, herself, on May 2nd in the Dallas Design District with a $100 donation to Dwell With Dignity.  Find all of the details here.

You’ll not only learn Amy’s one-step painting technique, she’ll also be demonstrating how to antique mirror and to transform sheet metal to look like antique zinc.  Did you even know that there was a product out there that didn’t involve scary chemicals that could burn your hands off?  Who knew?

With your donation, you’re get a cocktail, canapé’s, and meet and greet with Amy and a three hour hands-on work shop that includes supplies, an Amy Howard Aprons, sample boards and a chance to win the piece of furniture that Amy transforms during the workshop.

Word from Dwell With Dignity is that there are a few spots left so sign up fast!  Act fast and secure your opportunity to work with Amy and meet the principals of Dwell With Dignity!  It’s guaranteed to be a night to remember!

Who doesn’t love a good “2-for-1″?  That’s exactly what you get with my friends at Pulp Home‘s new Two-Way pillow design for Peacock Alley.

The pillows are constructed with beautifully-textured linen and have a reversible “belly band” that wraps around the pillow and buttons with a horn toggle.  Brilliant, right?

Now there’s no need to have an extra set of pillows to get a new look for a seasonal change…just flip the belly band!  They’re launching TODAY on One King’s Lane!  Find all of the cool combo’s here!

OK, Ya’ll…Show your pride!

I have a bit of an obsession for pretty bowls and trays and enjoy putting one or two in most rooms in my home to catch keys by the front door, frequently worn jewelry in my bathroom, pretty soaps in my guest bathroom and loose change at my kitchen bar.

Layla Grace’s new alphabet studio trinket trays are perfect for any room in your home and I can’t think of anyone that wouldn’t love a few as a gift!

Perfect for newly weds…or your friend who’s always looking for their keys. (Confession: I think I may be that friend…) They’re such fun!

I say “YES” to them all!  At $10 each, you can go wild!  Check out the rest of the Rosanna table-top collection at Layla Grayce here.

I now proclaim this bow back pump from Miss Selfridge as my go-to flat for Spring!

I’m in love with the coral, but in the rare occasion that this luscious color doesn’t work, there’s always basic black!

This give-away was announced yesterday at the Design Bloggers Conference in LA as my good friend (and neighbor) Amy Lee, of House of Wentworth, announced her new collaboration with Plexi-Craft.  She’s designed a beautiful acrylic chair line and gave us a sneak peek of two of the designs.  Both of those chairs were given away to two lucky winners.  A third chair will be raffled off and all proceeds will benefit Dwell With Dignity.
