Kathleen DiPaolo on Joss & Main

I'm so excited that my friend Kathleen, of Kathleen DiPaolo Designs has curated a sale for Joss and Main that is live now!  Go here to peruse and shop.  The below are some of my faves from the sale.

Kathleen is an amazingly talented designer.  You should check out her portfolio here, and visit her blog (one of my must reads) here.  

At Home in Arkansas with Landon Shockey of The Gilded Stag

Patrick J. Hamilton's vignette from Design on a Dime

Do you see the amazing orange bar cart in the left foreground?  It was designed by Landon Shockey and created by his company The Gilded Stag.  It's called the Shaftesbury Cart and it's fantastic.

And here it is again in yellow.  These designers were smart to use it.  It adds so much to both rooms.

Here's Landon from the feature that At Home in Arkansas did on his furniture company, The Gilded Stag.  I lived in Little Rock as a child and have lots of family in the state.  It's so interesting for me to think about fine furniture being created in Fayetteville.  

The photos above are all from the At Home in Arkansas article.  I loved reading about Landon and his new company.  His design influences; Chippendale, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite with Chinoiserie thrown in, have me quite interested to see what he does next.  Go here to read all about Landon and The Gilded Stag.

LOVE this pagoda mirror. Isn't Folly the perfect name? Go to Landon's site to learn more and keep up with what is going on at The Gilded Stag.

Off Topic Tuesday -- Sandal Choices

I just adore shoes and handbags.  However, the truth is, I'd rather spend money on things for my house.  While I'd love to have these in the pink, the neutral and the gold, I'll just get one pair.  These Britton Thong Sandals from Tory Burch are fantastic.  Can't you see them dressed up or down?  I added the pink because they're so cute I almost can't take it (they have a great wedge heel), but they're not really in the running.  I can make a case for both the neutral and the gold.  The neutral is more practical and it's gorgeous, but I'm really loving the gold option.  What do you think?  

This essie polish, mod square, is what I've been wearing for the last week. I think it looks a little bluer and stronger than it does in this image. This will be my polish for the season.  It's a gorgeous color of pink and it works with everything I have. It would be fantastic with the sandals above, dont you think?
