Open Form Table

Yes, this does look like it's made of corrugated cardboard, but guess what, not..........It is actually composed of pure hardwood exclusively sourced in the U.S. The piece comes in your choice of eight vibrant colors: Bayberry Green, Salem Red, Federal Blue, Chocolate Brown, Buttermilk White, Pumpkin Orange, Mustard Yellow, and Pitch Black. Open Form is available as a low table or coffee table/bench.  The Low Table measures 20 x 14 x 14. The coffee table measures 16 x 50 x 16 and also comes in your choice of the yummy colors listed above.  And, they are VOC free meaning they are safer for the environment, you, children and our furry friends. The sides could also double as a magazine holder to house the latest issue of DWELL magazine or the like. Designed by John Eric Byers and manufactured by JEB Jones, a design and production studio in upstate New York these one of a kind pieces will make you the envy of your design franatics (friends who are design fanatics). Below are the lovely, lovely pumpkin orange in triplicate. What a lovely coffee table they make? Add  these to your kids room and be the coolest parent ever.

21st Century Contemporary Southeast Asia Buddhas

Here are two modernized 21st century buddha heads that are just fabo! I painted them stark white and they are just too beautiful for words. A MOD Props exclusive. For sale here @ $60 for the pair or $35 each.. the buddha essentially is the story of Siddhartha an Indian yogi who came from wealth and  never knew suffering and strife. he wonders outside of his sheltered life and discovered that there was suffering and unpleasantness in the world so he decided to search for peace and a place of no suffering. So, he travels throughout India living a life of minimalism amongst the poorest of the poor to search for true enlightenment or Bodhi. After years of starving himself, living with nothing and searching for that perfect state of total peace, he discovers that you must make your own peace in life. This is when he became known as Buddha. Being a yogi myself, the buddha has special meaning and will bring about a sense of peace and enlightenment in your own space. This one has been modernized for the MOD girl or guy who wants glam and depth. The price alone will give you peace!

A Hidden Gem in Raleigh- "Dress" Boutique

Mostly recently I stumbled upon "Dress" boutique(http://www.dressraleigh.com/) in Raleigh. It was like opening a fabulous present and I was very pleased when I opened the box. Having moved here from Atlanta where there is a plethora of shopping and design, I am always in search of local boutiques that offer designer one of a kind pieces. I believe I have found one such venue. The owner, Pam Mullaney, is delightful and quite the fashionista. Located in The Carter Building, 18 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC in Glenwood South a hip restaurant and nightclub scene, "Dress" is a must stop on any fashion conscience girl's A list. Check it out! You will not be disappointed. I will be a regular shopper @ Dress.After all fashion and interior design follow each other. And, you will look so much better sitting in your Louis Chair (pictured below) in a fabulous ensemble.
