I find it really hard to blog [as I am sure most of you do] when there is tragedy like the explosions in Boston. I knew people who were running in the Marathon and when I think about how excited they were......it makes me sad to think the experience was marred by terrorism.
I can only say this...what kind of world are we leaving for our children. I know that is a broad statement and covers a lot of territory but just the simple fact of not feeling safe during a fun family outing which includes cheering on family members just makes me damn sad.
I want to turn back the clock to a time when kids played outside all day and only came home at dark for dinner......no one worried.
Of course that will never be.
Rock on Boston.
Yesterday I was at a clients new house [she has downsized to a smaller place] and we were trying to hang all of her art.
I instagramed [sherryhdesigns] some incredible pieces that I forgot she had. When I found out she had an estate sale and I didn't know about it I wanted to poke her eyes out.
Whadaya mean?
Take a look at a few of these beauties....
These are not faux people....
2 means one is extra right? Me me me me me....hand up jumping like a 3 year old that has to go to the bathroom....
It sucks to be me....she had a spot for both of them.....like I thought she might say...."Oh do you want one?" Same crazy thought that I could actually afford anything at the estate sale.
I did not remember this brass and acrylic bed she had.....
This made me cry like a little girl......the holy grail of beds....
She decorated her home over 20 years ago and when I told her that everything in it was so hot now she was amazed......
That we are all running around doing faux malachite on every surface presenting it like the cure for cancer.........silly us......
I'm going back to finish up on Tuesday and I will not forget my camera this time......
So excited for the chance to go preview the Decorators Show House today......this is one door that I am glad blogging opened for me:)
Have a safe day please....

That BED - oh my holy - that BED is flipping amazing!!!!
I'm so sad - and angry - there are some seriously sick people in this world!
I am speechless, well not really, but Holy Cute Stuff! The tables alone had me drooling. The screens and bed are amazing!
Wow. I can't even believe how awesome those malachite tables are, and that bed is beyond words. Painful.
Boston just leaves me sad and horrified. Prayers still going out.
That bed is EVERYTHING !!!!!!! And I would have given a left arm for it.
that bed!
girl. i thought about e-mailing you yesterday to say, "where are the scott's photos this month??!"

It is indeed a sad world when you can't even go to a family event without tragic results.
On a lighter note I loved bed and wish I had it.
That bed is gorgeous! And the malachite tables. After being a homeowner for 17 years I am seeing things come back in style….a sure sign of getting old!!
I am with you on our world. So many of my friends and family went to or ran the marathon and I'm still sickened by the "what-ifs" of the day….and all the victims. But this city rocks…..so many acts of kindness everywhere as a result….that part is heartening.
It is so hard not to get consumed by the sad news. One day at a time....and one fabulous drool worthy blog post like this one.
have you heard rachel zoe use the word MAJ on her bravo show(pronounced maje, short for major)? well she says it so much you wanna throw up, but it's applicable here.

OMGosh- What wonderful, wonderful pieces. Each one is a work of art in, and of, itself. How fun that you are able to work with her. xo Diana
Gtfo?!?! Reall good is an understatement. Guurrrl cant wait to see what u do with all this fabulocity!
Xoxoxo
I am speechless! And that never happens!
This "client" has treasures that top it all!
Can you just imagine the Estate Sale?
Holy Cow!
Would love to see more, lots more,if allowed?
Oh my, this house is a treasure trove! Love those tables and that bed! Amen on that! Thank you for sharing these!
I nearly fainted when I saw that malachite table. This is what we all strive to leave behind to our heirs isn't it? The screen was pretty nice too! Aaaaand...that's why I'm loving hitting all the estate sales these days...some incredible back in style gems!
Yeah, it does feel weird to blog about decorating and design and stuff when people are in the hospital traumatized with legs blown off... that's for sure. When i was young, i was sent outside, barefooted, to play, and was not really allowed in pretty much until dinner... then bath and to bed. Kinda different now, huh?
Your friend has some amazing stuff... whoa

Holy cow that bed!!! No words to express it's beauty.
This house has some cool stuff! I am blown away by those genuine artifacts and not the current reproductions that are out there; that bed, those tables, screens...a m a z i n g.

Amazing. Couldn't you have just slipped that screen out the back door? I mean, really, one must get creative...
What a treasure trove of gorgeous things!! These little finds make me giddy ... even if I can't have them! xo
Terribly sad about what happened...but Wow about this table ...

Holy Guacamole! The bed,,,, shitake! Score!
Boston does make it hard to focus on the material..... Will not give the misguided my anger as it empowers them too much. Just saying....
Wowza. Some amazing stuff! I keep telling my mom that her stuff is cool again but she's over it.
