Jonathan Adler for Barnes and Noble
March 27th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Admittedly I’m a little behind in discovering this, but I was in Barnes and Noble the other day purchasing some “classics” (I’ve instituted my own reading list this summer of all classic literature because as I get older I’m realizing how inferior the California educational system really is.) While checking out, I came across the stand of Jonathan Adler products for Barnes and Noble.
I’m already a big Adler fan and was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and price of his collection of journals, notepads, cards, umbrellas and portfolios etc. From what I can tell, the Adler collection for Barnes and Noble debuted in 2007 (not completely sure of the date). I highly recommend checking it out online www.barnesandnoble.com. The products would make great gifts or you might just find a little something for yourself!

Get it Together

My office is in desperate need of an organizational face lift. My desk has no storage so my current system of filing involves very tidy piles on and around my desk that are rearranged and recompiled daily. Needless to say, this is not efficient. So I’ve been searching high and low for creative office supplies because I refuse to go to Office Depot and get some boring old file cabinets and in-box trays.
Above I’ve included some of my shopping list favorites. As you’ve probably surmised, my priorities are function and color. Take a peak. I’ve listed all the purchase information below. I’m not saying you need to go out and buy all of this, but it’s amazing what a difference some storage makes and the splash of color will cheer up your office space and who couldn’t use that?

Not Your Typical Night Stand
March 24th, 2009 § 1 Comment
When putting the finishing touches on our master bedroom one of the last steps was finding bedside tables. While there are many options out there, it was challenging to find something that was both inexpensive and tall (our bed height is about 48″ and I hate leaning over to put stuff on the night stand). After much searching, including some thrift stores, I settled on the West Elm butler table. Not only are these tables reasonably priced, they’re taller than your average side table (measuring at about 32″ including the tray). I purchased the white tray for each stand, which I figure can be used later somewhere else in the house if I get bored of the tables.
My only hesitation with this option, was the fact that they’re not typical bedside tables and I was worried they’d look out of place in our bedroom. Fortunately, they complete the room and give it a spa/hotel-like feel, which I was really going for!
