A little shop in Firenze...


A few years back I traveled to Florence to study Architecture and Design for a while, through my University program at the time...one day while wondering the streets after a siesta I stumbled upon a cute little purse shop called Sol Gabriel...


Needless to say, I dragged my friends in there to find the lovely owner arranging her merch...tons of unique handmade bags, which she makes herself...



She has a great eye for detail and even the insides are not forgotten...

**So the other day when I came across her business card, I thought it might be nice to share her work on my blog. Let me tell you though, her designs come in and the are snatched up pretty fast....worth checking out her site if your interested! I bet she would even do commissions...**

I'm not a big bird person, or really any size bird person for that matter...but I do love their homes!! The image above caught my eye last week, what a lovely lil home for some birds, but better yet a great way to accessorize your home...

Birdcage from Inside Avenue


Wrought Iron Birdcage from Architectural Artifacts, Inc.

Orange + Black and White...


I was recently browsing Robert Passal's portfolio online when I came across his work from the annual "Kips Bay Decorator Show House" in 2005. Then I remembered this brilliant space with it's orange high gloss walls, and fell back in love with this it all over again...


Notice the center piece above the settee, so innovative how he layered art pieces over the mirror, and see how the mirror is mounted...

A nice lil surprise to the back of this chair...

Rainy days...


...like these call for some major "waterproofing". I don't own a pair of rain boots but I've always wanted to, and then seeing these at Ballard Designs makes me wanna actually venture out in this madness...




++ Going for $59.95 a pair ++
