what would a new year be without me going all kooky and changing my rooms around? i swapped the living and dining rooms around again. yes, again. i was having the claustrophobic feeling that the room was just too scrunchy, so here we go again. i like to take all my stuff, mix it up and use it in new ways, giving the rooms a whole new personality. mostly the same old stuff, just re-purposed for a new look. i think i’ll leave it this way. ha! surely, i jest. that would be so boring, right?!?

some sources for you: modern floral pillows are from skinny laminx. up mountain print is from fine little day. i got the pouf and the sari blanket from fab.com (disclaimer: i get a $25 credit for anyone that signs up from my link and makes a purchase – but it’s an awesome site. one of the very few discount sites i actually find stuff i want to buy. and when you refer friends and they shop, you earn credits, too). flokati rug is from MCMF, and the knoll saarenin table is a vintage ebay find. industrial lamp is vintage.

the little black settee is from urban outfitters. the white rar eames rocker is from velocity art & design. the knoll saarinen side table is vintage from mcmf. the throw quilt is from secret holiday and the swiss cross pillow is from enhabiten. the striped pillow is a flea market find from euro-linens.

these prints are from artist Rikkianne Van Kirk’s shop you sentimental idiot. i love her work and have several pieces. the mattress ticking striped pillows are from belrossa home.

the sheepskins are from black sheep white light. the industrial cart below is vintage from fab.com. the frame was a lovely gift from the 10 cent designer, and the print is by Rikkianne Van Kirk.

i have a LOT of books. lots. this book of marilyn monroe’s last sitting by bert stern is a favorite flea market find. i added wheels to my ikea expedit bookshelf for more mobility (it weighs like two tons).

the sea & the cake print is by sonnenzimmer. the house painting is by danielle krysa (aka the jealous curator). the convex mirror is from west elm, another print by Rikkianne Van Kirk, and santa barbara is by photographer liz kuball at 20×200. cord lamp is by brendan ravenhill, also from fab.com.
