A Brooklyn Loft Transformed on a Budget

I came across this NY Times article today and just thought it would be fun to pass along. It’s a great interactive piece featuring the transformation of a Brooklyn loft using a $5k budget. I love the mix of vintage pieces with inexpensive options. I also think this is a fabulous example of how important space planning is. Take a peak at the before pics and you’ll see what a difference the new layout makes!

First off, I apologize for being completely M.I.A lately. Fall has brought our little household and my business some amazing changes and plenty of work so I haven’t had much to post, which I will attempt to correct starting this week.

Second, I came across the Barbie “hearts” (ok I’m not hip enough to figure out how to create the heart icon) Jonathan Adler collection this evening. I know he’s had this for awhile but this was the first chance I had to take a peak and it just cracked me up. I specifically love the Barbie accessory pack (pictured above) and if I still played with Barbies (societal expectations and the fact that my husband would seriously question my sanity, required that I give up this pastime long ago) I would totally buy that pink sofa for her Dream House. Hell, I’d like to buy that sofa for my house … ok maybe that’s a bit over the top. Either way, it brought a smile to my face this Sunday evening, which I think is something we can all appreciate on a Sunday, right?

Edition by Banana Republic

Following a friend’s recommendation I finally made it over to the new Edition by Banana Republic store in the SF Mall. Now I shouldn’t have been surprised (because this suggestion was coming from a very stylish friend) but this store is fabulous! Edition is a new concept from BR and carries only limited edition jewelry, handbags, shoes and hair accessories. Everything in the store is moderately priced (jewelry from about $20 – $100), well crafted and on trend. I picked up an awesome cocktail ring for $40 and really want to go back for that tassel necklace (pictured above).

The downside is as of now there’s only one store and most of their items I didn’t see online. So if you’re in SF check this store out. According to the sales person, they get new merchandise every 1-2 months so come Christmas/Hanukkah (whatever you celebrate!) this will be the perfect place for gifts and accessories for your holiday party outfits!
