An Estate to Remember
May 09 2021
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...

Perfect Turkish Coffee
November 24 2020
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....

OCD = AOK
November 22 2020
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 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...

Vintage Handmade Tassels
November 17 2020
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...

Podcasts We're Binging
May 15 2020
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...

Wow What a Week! - OR- Welcome to our New Site!
March 24 2020
Honestly I can't decide between those two titles, because as I sit at my kitchen table to write this, I'm feeling both of those sentiments. It really has been a crazy week. And it's that very craziness that's prompted this new site. So I suppose it's fitting that both titles share the headline. It goes without saying that the coronavirus...
