Home Typography Tuesday

Welcome to another "Home Type Tuesday"! When I came upon the Garvey Chair on Anthropologie's website I have to admit I stared at it for a good 5 minutes. There are so many things I love about it, but I especially adore the simple way of adding a bit if fabric with type to the seat updates the entire look!

"If you're using type as décor, only use it in one area," Covino suggests. "If you start to repeat it, it'll become overwhelming. . . . Let it be your wow piece in one section of the room. That way whatever you're ‘saying' in that type speaks on its own." quote from the article below

I also want to take a quick moment to thank the folks over at STUFF Boston Magazine and the lovely Cheryl Fenton of the Easy Peasey blog for including my love of typography in their latest Reside Column. If you want to read the entire column pop over here!

Diary Entry - The affordable headboard

You can find me over at Stylefeeder today blogging on an affordable headboard idea! I submitted this post back in September and was so excited last night to finally see a real application in this photo over at Turquoise. It is a perfect example on how to use these headboards, I just love the contrast! Vanessa has an incredible eye and ck out the perfectly placed Anthropologie Ikat bowl on the nightstand. A stylish place for change or last minute jewelry you forget to take off.

Dreaming Up Anthropologie Stories

Over the weekend I caught up on all the mail catalogs I received throughout the week. Most of them were full of fall fashion and decor but to be honest I can't write about it just yet! This chilly girl needs to extend summer for as long as possible....i.e. expect more summer home postings!


Though sometimes I see a beautifully styled photo and instantly a story is created as it was with this one.

While flipping through Anthropologie I came across this picture which spoke to me in a cozy way. It looks like this could be in a studio, a decorating dilemma you find often in the city. I love how they have nestled the bed into the corner by the window. With the end table defining the space and what looks to be like a dresser edged out, it creates a comfortable area. The fabric Ikat headboard brings warmth to an area with a high ceiling. The light streaming in and the full comforter askew creates a look as if someone spent the better part of the day lounging in bed, possibly reading! Ah sounds like a little slice of relaxation to me!

I wonder what the story of this photo would be....I imagine it might have something to do with a Sunday morning. I adore the Terai Folding Chairs and in such fun fabrics!

Quick, Share some tea!

Here's another "Quick Share"

I am a tea loving girl, seriously I am not awake until I have that incredibly hot flavored water hit my stomach! It's a bit of a joke but in my world it is serious business!! So take a look at this adorable tea set which includes; sugar cup, creamer, tea cup, teapot and saucer. Just lovely and even better it is available in a precious red, blue or green! Anthropologie, you have made me fall in love once again!
