A few things of relative importance...

First
Today's images are brought to you by High Gloss - the newest shelter/lifestyle e-zine that launched today (in case you've been under a rock). Truly, it has left me speechless .I don't say that fleetingly. Consider it your go-to for glamorous design porn for the next few days.

Second
After I posted about it, you gals flocked to HSN for Nate's Upholstered Stool like it was crack - it's now on the "almost sold out" list (powerful forces, we blogs). Sadly, because of shipping issues, I STILL haven't been able to place my own order. But I will, oh YES I will...

Some of you requested I source my paint and fabric ideas from this cane chair post, which I have now done.

Congrats on the 500 readers! That's awesome. I showed the Nate Berkus stool to my husband who commented, "it looks like it would tip over." What does he know?

Yes, High Gloss is great fun. Need to go back and look through it more today! Can't wait for your giveaway.

Hi Allison ... just stumbled onto your blog. Love it! Did you live in Houston at one time? Well, if so, be happy you are in Brazil now. It's 25 degrees! I look forward to perusing your past posts.

Congrats on hitting the big 5-0-0!
That's quite a milestone ;)
And btw, it appears you and I both need Raina to skool us on the fine art of ezine happy clapping etiquette -- and when to refrain. Equally guilty as charged ;)
Thank goodness Raina helps us all keep it real!
Oh and lastly, thanks for the intro to the Berkus stool
Cheers, Alcira

Loved your comment on my blog! Ha, I am in the southern region of Houston and we are expecting snow starting at noon and into tomorrow night. My husband just left with his father to go to our home in San Jose del Cabo. Something is wrong with this picture, wouldn't you say? I look forward to keeping up with your blog on a regular basis! Idios, Vikki

Wow, great stuff here today! I have few caneback chairs waiting for a makeover myself - great options. Those Nate stools are amazing - add me to the list!

JMW said...

Love the use of antique rugs in a kitchen - wish I could find a good one for the right price for our kitchen. The ottoman in the first photo is fabulous!

Hannah said...

Those are BEAUTIFUL! I'm a huge fan of that kitchen especially - it looks so airy.
