pillows, charming and affordable

I came across these lovely felt pillows on Etsy from Cheryland. If I had a kid's room, they'd make a wonderful addition at 7 bucks a pop.

yes, this post is about domino

I just found out Domino is folding and I am so disappointed.

objectified

I'm excited about Objectified.

of a feather

A romantic feather ring (perhaps a Valentine's Day gift?) by designer Alex Monroe of South London.

floral finds

With the temps in the teens, perhaps I just have spring on the brain, but there are some really nice florals over at Anthro at the moment. Clockwise, from top left: colossal bloom rug, mauve; verdant acres dinnerware; recherche dessert plates; colossal bloom rug, rouge.

obama style

Word is out that West Coast decorator Michael S. Smith will be POTUS's official White House interior decorator. Michael S. Smith Houses from Rizzoli showcases Smith's "traditional yet not pedantic" style. He has a consistent ability to draw together eclectic elements, good for inspiration, even if you – like me – consider his overall taste conservative.

for every room in the house

...and of course one for the private jet. Lovely hand-engraved encyclopedic tablets ($28.50) by printer Mrs. John L. Strong in New York.

great salt pond

I took this picture late last summer and hadn't looked at it until now. I've always liked dramatic clouds.

yellow coat

I bought this coat the other day at French Connection and I love it so. Mine has toggles instead of buckles - much better.

gable bar cart

If I could afford the kind of apartment that had room for a bar cart, I might consider this brass and glass one from Restoration Hardware.

Chocolate Research Facility

A boutique chocolate shop in Singapore that must be owned by a graphic designer. Incredible packaging and beautiful space. I've requested that my co-worked bring some back for me when he's there for his non-chocolate research.

yes, please

faux folio

I have a major crush on this folio briefcase bag at Urban Outfitters. Too bad it's not real leather... via youaremyfave.
