Xenia, Crewel and Loving It

If you've ever built a new house or remodeled your current abode, then you know how mind-numbingly boring tile shopping can be. Most tile shops feature the same things. How in the world can you create a unique room with stuff like everyone else? You want something hand-made. You want something gorgeous. You want something like Xenia Taler. Her hand made tiles will make a masterpiece of your backsplash. Tiles such as her Large Bird (CW07BRD $108) from her Crewel Intentions line will absolutely be a show stopper!

I gotta do some worka to get my Circa

I desperately covet this Iron Plume Sconce from Circa Lighting. I need two of them for my living room. This fixture is $399. I will have to save some pennies. Believe me, my wish list is grand!

Make kids kuku

Hip and fresh don't usually apply to kids decor. Making your child's room functional, fun, AND a reflection of good taste is such a challenge. kukunest can fix all of that.
