Friday Family-Friendly Find: Joe Ruggiero Classico II Ottoman
I can’t believe it’s Friday already…again! My how time does indeed march on. And when it’s Friday around here, that can only mean one thing. Wine drinking commences at 4PM. Ha – kidding! Sort of. Fridays are for Family-Friendly Finds, silly! This week’s #FFFFind is not the first ottoman I’ve featured, but it is delightfully…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Dowel Furniture Bastille Counter Stool
My designer friend Barbara Elza Hirsch, of Elza B Design, recently launched her debut furniture collection – Bois et Coleur (Wood and Color – just don’t ask me to pronounce it – I’m a Spanish/Italian gal 🙂 ) – with Dowel Furniture. I was naturally excited to see the collection, and, not surprisingly, it is…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: ducduc Campaign Stacking Cubby
Friday, I’m just not ready for you. And yet, here you are. So let’s do this… This week’s #FFFFind is something I’ve been seeking for a long time. A cubby-type storage system makes a lot of sense for many kids’ spaces, but I’m truly bored and underwhelmed by the choices out there. Not to mention, the…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Oly Studio Anastasia Table Lamp
Ok – I’m going to keep this brief, as I’m still composing on an iPhone this week! The Anastasia Table Lamp from Oly Studio is my pick for this week’s #FFFFind. Why, you ask? Well, this is a lamp that is very chic, super rich-looking (with a price tag to match – FYI), and is…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Crane & Canopy Nova Duvet Cover
I just wanted to start this post with a hats-off to all of the stay-at-home moms and dads out there. I’ve been doing the job for the past two weeks (my sitter had a family emergency), and it’s really the most exhausting, intense thing ever. But it has also been really fun and rewarding to…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: SmartStuff Varsity 2-Drawer Nightstand
I cried ‘Uncle’ on this week on Monday around 1:00PM. And now I’m saying a big ‘TGIF!’ How can it not be a great day, when we get to wake up to another super #FFFFind? The SmartStuff Varsity 2-Drawer Nightstand is just one of many truly ‘smart’ casegoods offered by SmartStuff, which is Universal…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Villa Nova EasyClean Fabrics
Hello there, and Happy Friday! I know I’ve been talking turkey on textiles for the past couple of weeks, so I just figured I’d keep on the theme with today’s (is it National Fabric Performance Awareness Month??). While at the Boston Design Center this week, a window display at the Romo showroom stopped me in my…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: OKL Exeter Side Chair in Smoke Crypton
Thank you for the comments and feedback on Tuesday’s post about the significant (and I think, troubling) ‘cons’ of viscose pile fabrics and carpets. I realized yesterday, after speaking with Wayne Southworth at MWI Fibershield, that the onus for education does not fall solely to fabric sales reps, but also to retailers and designers, who have a responsibility to…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Osborne & Little Coronata Vinyl Wallcovering
You know you are a family-friendly design nerd when… You get REALLY excited when you see the word ‘Scrubbable’ on the back of a cute wallpaper sample. Osborne & Little has some great vinyl wallcoverings, many which are versions of their most popular wallpaper patterns. Good news! Their iconic Coronata star pattern is one of them.…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Bunny Williams Home Tray Chic Ottoman
After a topsy-turvy, over-scheduled week, all I want to do when today is done is put my feet up and RELAX. With a generously-poured glass of wine and tall stack of back-issue shelter magazines close-by, of course! The aptly-named Tray Chic Ottoman from Bunny Williams Home  really delivers the best of many worlds, and takes the concept of a…
