Friday I went to the most incredible estate sale in Barrington, at a sprawling 1950s ranch home that was designed perfectly and seriously ready to be moved in AS-IS! The living room had wall-to-wall LEOPARD PRINT CARPETING and a wood tile ceiling. A u-shaped bar separated the living room from a game room, which housed a pool table, chess board, and foosball...

Growing up in a Persian household, my parents and their Persian and Armenian friends often hosted gluttonous dinner parties with multiple entrees, sides, and desserts. The desserts--usually home made cream puffs or roulette cake--were always accompanied by Turkish coffee, and my mom's friend Tina would look in our cups and read our fortunes afterwards and she was SO GOOD at it....

I wasn't ever big on puzzles as a kid or as an adult. I just never saw the appeal of spending hours putting something together that I would then take apart and put in a box. And then what? You do it again sometime? Yeah right! But then I met *this* vintage circular jigsaw puzzle and it completely changed my...

I don't know about your but I've really loved a certain shade of lilac lately, and that shade in particular is Essie's Baguette Me Not nail lacquer, which was the only shade I wore for just about a solid year. I love this shade so much that when I found this cane and wood magazine holder, I knew I had...

With flu season on the horizon, I've found myself turning to my favorite immune-boosting foods to help keep me healthy. One beverage in my immunity arsenal is Golden Milk, also known as a Turmeric Latte. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and has shown to boast many health benefits since inflammation is the root of most disease. But even if you're...

This collection of vintage handmade tassels just hit the shop! I love the way a tassel adds playful textures and colors to any corner of a home. Hang them from doorknobs, dresser pulls, lamps, decanters, hanging planters, or mix them among eclectic vignettes and portrait walls. The possibilities are endless and all you need is a little imagination when it comes to...

I don't know about you but I've been devouring podcasts during quarantine. I love waking up and putting on a podcast as I make my morning matcha latte and feed the cat. I just let them play while I make breakfast,  wash dishes, clean the house, shower, and my occasional quarantine commute to work. There are so many good ones out...
