The Chic Jail House Rock

My current design obsession is black and white stripes! They are super funky and give any space that pop art feel. Whether you do it up big by adding stripes to the wall or add it in small amounts with pillows and tchotchkes the look is sure to be EYE CATCHING!!!

Beautiful store front

Vintage Thrift

Vintage Thrift, located at 286 3rd Ave between 22nd and 23rd street, is currently housing a  1950s sofa worthy of Mad Men prop status! It's a teal blue and shiney silver statement piece that says hello Don Draper

Fun at Fishs Eddy

Piles of plates, colored glass galore and wacky design details run rampant at the beloved, Flatiron located Fishs Eddy. This playful kitchen and dining supply store is sure to bring a smile to those who pass by its entrance filled with a bevy of glazed ceramic hands (which are actually molds to make rubber kitchen gloves). So if you're looking to stock up on "steep up to the plate" tea bag rests, souvenir dish towels, glasses with pole dancers painted on them or "shuguh" bowls, Fishs Eddy may be the place for you!       




















 Time to stock up!

Mag Stack

The messy mag stack is a clean freak's clutter nightmare, but these monthly mailings (especially the design and fashion ones) shouldn’t be a source of décor disaster but instead a focal point of design inspiration.  So stack neatly and place prettily to achieve maximized design fabulousity!
