Say Hello to My New Etsy Shop!

Drumrolll please... my Etsy shop, The Bells & Whistles, finally went live this week! The store features vintage jewelry and home decor. There will be more products added over the next few weeks and I have some fun up-cycling projects in the works. It's honestly a little more work than I imagined, from researching to photographing and measuring each item, but I have enjoyed every minute. If you have a moment, please take a look at my shop and if you feel so inclined "like" it on Facebook. 

On a side note, I am getting back into the swing of things after having my mom here for a week and a half. I had fun playing tourist with her, stay tuned for photos from our explorations. Today, we are off to the North Bay for a hike with the pups. Hope you have some fun adventures this weekend!

Date Night + A Little Culture

We recently had our first date night in San Francisco at SFMOMA. The museum was the perfect choice, they are open late on Thursday, the artwork encouraged conversation, and it's only a couple blocks from our place. We had just enough time to grab a bite to eat at Pazzia before exploring the museum.

Wood Work for the Walls

I came across these fantastic wooden hanging sculptures the other day while searching Etsy for lighting to hang in our bedroom. The artist, William Baker, uses a scroll saw to cut the shapes and creates balance and depth through their arrangement. I think they would be fun addition to any room of the house.

There is something about his composition of the shapes that stirs the imagination.

Maps as Artwork

I have had a soft spot for maps displayed in the home as artwork for quite some time now. I am loving these few that were posted over at Pattern People.

Calendar for 2011 and Beyond

I am loving this perpetual calendar from Calouette I discovered via Inhabitat.

The contrast of the salvaged wood beam against the acrylic pieces is right up my alley.

The salvaged timbers are hand selected so no two are alike. Each transparent acrylic piece is numbered for one of the 366 days in a year.

This is definitely going on my wish list!
