cool stuff

I can't take any credit for this post. I found all these lovely images thanks to Daniela at Aesthetic Oiseau and her post about Buck House. In a nutshell Deborah Buck is fabulous and has a fabulous NYC shop filled with lots of fabulous stuff... for the in depth version read Daniela's post.

See...

Mmmm...

I like.

She also has a beautiful little section called "Designer's Eye" where she makes up these wonderful little vignettes of her wares.

Pretty pictures...

Very much digging this idea and all of her cool stuff.

This got me daydreaming...

about my dream warehouse and several million $$$...

I would entertain myself for hours putting together all the great stuff I've hoarded and collected (massive amounts now with the mills, I'm talking my own private 1st Dibs)...

I'd be drinking cognac, wearing a crazy hat, saying "yes" to sequined pants,...

pretending I was this lovely fantastic cuckoo bird...

and I mean cuckoo bird in the best way possible.( XO, love you Kelly.)

In the mean time I'll just keep rearranging my furniture and lusting over pretty pictures.

Can't. Let. Go.

I found this brass floral pendant a ways back and was going to sell it but after cleaning it up and hanging it to photograph I kinda fell in love.  This is a big problem. 

I read Sissy's post the other day about separation anxiety and selling her stuff, and I totally have it bad.  I pick things up to fix up and resell, and when I bring it home I want to keep it. I feel like a design hoarder.  Could you imagine me with stray animals? Hello cat lady.

But just look at it, LOOK AT IT...

In all of my lighting obsessed days I've never seen such a light.  All the little petals are so pretty.

 (I know. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My husband doesn't have the same eye as me,

 he thinks its gross.) Its so happy here.

How do you get over this disease? I feel like I want to have a warehouse full of cool crap at my disposal so I can rearrange at whim. I'm so screwed.  Ugh. I would die if I had an actual store.  My mother did, and was always redecorating our house with new merchandise. Ha! Maybe thats who I inherited this from. Thanks Mom.

Oh, and this piece doesn't seem to want to come off my fireplace wall either.

Help. Anyone else with issues?
