I was up reeeally early this morning and watching Kare 11 when a video caught my eye about a Chicago couple decorating their bedroom floor in pennies—60,000 pennies! Apparently the video is going viral today, but funny enough, no mention was given on TV to our own local penny floor—the first I’ve…
TOO Cool: Blu Dot for Target
Oh Target, you’ve done it again. The latest designer collaboration to make waves in the Bullseye brand is our own Minnesota-born Blu Dot. Founders John Christakos, Charlie Lazor, and Maurice Blanks, are internationally known for their modern furniture and designs, and now they’re bringing them to the masses at affordable price…
Room & Board’s New Collection
We’re loving the new shipment that just arrived at Room & Board. The 2013 collection is full of fun stuff that’s American-made—much made here in Minnesota. Check out our sneak peek below of a few of our personal favorites and pop into the Edina showroom for a look at the real thing. Also, make sure to visit their Facebook page as…
Resolve, Redesign, Repeat
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to read more classics. First on the docket is Little Women, which I received as a gift this year in the form of a lovely Penguin Classic hardcover edition.
I see these all the time on…
Mad For: Painted Furniture
In Boston I lived within walking distance to a shop called Eddie’s, owned by a guy named Eddie who had a thing for vintage furniture. He’d find it everywhere from our neighborhood’s sidewalks to estate sales in tony suburbs and take it back to his shop where you could smell the paint fumes in…
Tip: Sparkling Up the Chandeliers
As I set the Thanksgiving table this year I was avoiding looking up. My crystal chandelier had become so dull and foggy and I was bummed I had no time to fix it. I figured extra candlelight would fix the situation and my lovely in-laws made no comments. Last weekend though I figured it was high time to get that baby sparkling again. Not just…
Forage Modern Workshop
If you haven’t had the chance to pop into Forage Modern Workshop on East Lake Street in Minneapolis, make a date to. The place has a really cool vibe with lots of woodwork, locally made furniture, and just a little bit of kitsch. It looks new and old, modern and vintage all at once….

A Pinterest Holiday
Where would we be without Pinterest? Living in a less beautiful world (at least in our heads) and probably having a lot more time on our hands. It’s too fun and while we love repinning for hours online, I seem to be relying on it a lot lately for bath remodels, kid projects, birthday parties, and now, entertaining. So as we gear up…
Mad For: Trina Turk Textiles
Designer collaborations really get me. It’s genus meets genius. I already loved Trina Turk’s beachy prints for fashion (it was very cool when she paired up with Banana Republic earlier this year for a ready-to-wear line), but the textiles she’s created with Schumacher are really to die for. So beachy, so…
