symmetrical

equals happy brain time

bettlejuice has landed

on erika's settee.
he's happy there, i can tell.

bringing sexy back

one of my favorite new discoveries is these cowhides speckled with metallics.  i've used them in a few clients homes and they make the whole room.

you can order through me, if you'd like a sexy back too. just email.

new lamps!

made from old buoys.
i have a great lamp cobbler named david. i just said to him, "if all else fails in the world, you still have the ability to turn anything into a lamp. doesn't that feel nice?"
he said it did.

bookcase of the day

pretty things that arriveth at the furbish today

having a store is fun. today.


**no official online store yet, but i can ship anything you like, so just email if you have questions!

really?

because i rummaged through piles of junk and wandered through rooms of 15 year olds and didn't find it.  forever 21 makes me seizure up.

gbrizzle

oh the greenbrier.  it was sensory overload.  loved every bit of it.

our room


my bed


the scale of things was ginormous.  the lamps, the window treatments, the light fixtures.


pink ceiling, green carpet


oh the prettiness


my federal mirrors and faux bamboo in the store aspire to dorothy's vignettes


pink and green and greek key and black and white and wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!


our host for the weekend, carleton varney, and the cupcakes he sent to our room.


dorothy loved her stripes


she wasn't afraid to slap some glossy paint on wood and add a crazy flora


bam bam holler.


curazy pink wallpaper in the bathroom and the only proof that i was really there


and our parting gift from mr. varney, a set of dawgs with cupcakes shoved in their mouths. (maybe they aren't cupcakes but some waspy thing that spaniels carry that i do not understand, but anywho)

fuuuurbish

bettlejuice and a fun new marble top table

lots of old french number plaques on white washed furniture



and an old brussels map

and her.  she's so snazzy

in DIY news

these are both super cute and restore my faith that diy doesn't have to look craptastic.

and yes i am still alive, but very busy.  i have pictures from the greenbrier to share with you asap.  also my mom found the target shoes for me and they are fabulous.  and it was my birthday and i had a surprise party and the hat i wore outlined the birth of hello kitty from hatching in an egg to her current iteration in a zebra suit.  and furbish is posting some of the bigger pieces of furniture for sale on my flickr stream - work in progress.  AND i bought the downtown chic book b/c i could not stand it any longer and have come to the conclusion they are basically just showing up.

holler

young people, i am going to the greenbrier.  i'll be back monday.

until we meet again.

ballard
