Carrie’s Brownstone, v.2.0
There were a few audible gasps in the movie theater during Sex and the City: The Movie. Relax, I’m not giving anything away for the four of you who read my blog and haven’t seen the flick yet. I’m talking about the response to Carrie’s apartment remodel.

Dwell Studio lands at Tarjay
So, I have one more reason to love Target, or shall I say Tar-jay. Not good news, since I consider it a small act of God if I get out of there under $50. Anyway, they’ve just recently started to carry Dwell Studio bedding, baby bedroom gear and kitchen stuff! There’s not too much fanfare [...]

Shabby Chic, Literally
There are many things I will not do. I will not buy a perfume made by Paris Hilton. I will not put garbanzo beans on my salad. And I will not live in a trailer park…or would I?
For most of my adult life, I’ve thought the idea of inhabiting a trailer park might be one [...]
