Pop-up Shop: Sally King Benedict

I hope none of you slept last night. Furbish Studio launched a pop-up shop of original works and prints (her first ever) by Sally King Benedict. I've been dying for one of her "face" abstracts. It went live around 11 pm last night and by midnight, pretty much everything was gone. You are still able to snag a print at the moment, but I'm certain those are close to selling out. They are working on another round of originals, so if you want first dibs, I suggest you bookmark the site and check it every 5 minutes (just kidding...kind of). I am really hoping my mom (who luckily doesn't sleep) snagged this gem for me for a Christmas present. Fingers crossed!

Check out the shop here.

Master Bedroom Details

When I posted my bedroom makeover, I told you all that I would spill the sources of the room. Most of the furniture items have been in there since it was first completed a few years ago, but many of them are still available now!

So here are the deets........

Shams - Ralph Lauren Langdon Border Collection 

Duvet Cover - Restoration Hardware Washed Belgian Linen in White

Quilt - Pottery Barn (Ours is from a few years ago...this one seems to be the closest to it)

Cheetah pillow fabric - P Kaufmann Cheetah in Stone

Lumbar pillow fabric - Kelly Wearstler Bengal Bazaar in Apricot

Rug - gifted

Bedside Tables - Z Gallerie Borghese Chest

Lamps - Barbara Cosgrove Square Glass Pillar (buy here. Note: I added grosgrain trim to my shades)

Mirror side table - West Elm

Abstract artwork by Eva Carter (I found this piece at a re-sale shop. Major score.)

Mongolian Lamb pillow cover - West Elm

Black bamboo side chair - I found this years ago on sale at Pier 1. Here is something similar.

Starburst mirror - really old from West Elm. I believe it was the first thing I ever purchased from them.

That should do it! I have one more thing I want to add and that's some new sheets. I can't decide between these 2....

Coral embroidered sheet set from Crane & Canopy

Katie sheets from Biscuit Home

I have heard rave reviews about Biscuit, but I love the simplicity of the embroidery. So who knows.

Design Board(s): The Parental Makeover

Welcome Pink Pagoda readers! Today I am linking this post to the Blue and White Bash over at The Pink Pagoda. Head over there to see some really fantastic all things blue and white posts!

My parent's redecorating is starting to come together. We have ordered most of the new den furniture, like the sofa, chairs, and cabinets. Oh, right, we decided to do cabinets rather than a lone TV console. I did an updated design board to show my mom what everything will look like. And you get to see it too!

I'm not a huge fan of all-in-one TV units. You know, with the console in the middle and then the 2 shelving units/bookcases on either side all made of the same wood. They always look so heavy to me. So we opted for a console in a completely different material than the cabinets. Ahhh...space. There is even room at the bottom for some baskets if we are so inclined. 

And because I like all of you so much...I'm posting the dining room board as well!

The dining room was originally going to keep all of its original furniture. But then I saw 2 blue velvet host chairs and, well, plans changed. The dining room is completely separate from the den, so I figure a little nod to the sofa was in order. 

My mom has a very similar oil painting hanging in there now and I think with the new blue chairs, it will look amazing.  I love a good Louis dining chair, so I think these will be making an appearance. We have to think of something fast because my mom sold her old dining set in like 3 hours on Craigslist. And Thanksgiving is around the corner! Gulp.

For the Love of a Sink...

This is the thing about Craigslist. I'm obsessed with it. I check it every day. And most of the time I come up empty handed, but then there are days where it's like I won the lottery. Most of the things I find, I have no use for. But, oh man, it's fun to look.

Like today.

An antique cast iron farmhouse sink.

 I don't need a sink. I have a perfectly nice one sitting 5 feet from me. But it's not this sink. Which makes me sad. I almost didn't post this because of my irrational fear that someone else will steal this out from under me (which they should...I'm not buying a sink). And this one needs a good ol polishing with some Bar Keeper's Friend (best stuff ever...look it up). Anyway...this led me to googling images of homes with farmhouse sinks.

2 farmhouse sinks! 2!
 Sink hoarders.

Farewell, sink. It was fun while it lasted.

Kari Herer Photography

I just love coming across new (to me) talent on the internet. Etsy is my favorite place to search out artists and craftspeople (craftsmen? craftswomen?). I came across Kari Herer's Etsy shop and was blown away by her gorgeous photography. Her compositions and use of light are crazy good. One of her larger prints has been added to my Christmas list.

Behold the beauty.

I also love her use of illustration...

Beyond talented.

See all of her work in her Etsy Shop.

Site You Should Visit: Smallable

Oh the cuteness. This is one of the best children's clothing sites I have ever come across. Yes, it's expensive (it's European) and everything has to be converted from euros to dollars (yikes) but it is so worth a look around. Most of these brands can probably be found on U.S. sites to save you a little cash.

Design Board: Out with the Old

Can you guess who this boards is for? If you said my parents, I would be weirded out that you would know that, but you would be correct! The 'rents are freshening things up around these parts.

My mom approached me after seeing a blue velvet sofa in a showroom and she is going for it people! We are talking a complete overhaul. At first she just wanted a sofa. And then our wheels starting turning and, well, it's not just a sofa anymore. And I have come down with serious sofa envy because this thing is going to be amazeballs.

This is the starting point for their den area where everyone hangs out and watches TV. We will do the den, formal living, dining, kitchen, and master bedroom/bathroom.  Their master bathroom is being gutted and taken from 1992 (yikes) to 2014. Everything is getting painted and all new lighting is being installed throughout the house. To say it will be an undertaking it putting it mildly, but we are up for the challenge and I cant wait to get started! We order the sofa on friday and then it's game time.

Naturally, I'll post progress on this ol blog. I am certain my mom will hate me for posting before shots (esp. of the bathroom) but it's all in the name of decorating.
