    It has been long time since my last post about knives. During these months I found myself collecting more and more knives and rebuilding what was part of my colletion in Italy when I was a teenager. I am going to review a few knives every once in a while. I know a lot of people [...]

    Here’s the pair that really started my obsession, Joe’s Jeans The High Water Skinny, I tried these beauties on in Anthopologie. I knew I wouldn’t have the balls to buy let alone wear them, but I was too intrigued to see how god awful they would look while one. Turns out I loved them once [...]

    I finally made the trek to The Container Store and while I was in awe of almost everything there I absolutely fell in love with the steel cabinets from Bisley. They come in 12 rich colors and have 4 different drawer inserts you can switch out depending on what you need to store. They’re pretty [...]

Maybe it’s my mountain-raised youth, but something about a little bowl of earth just makes me calm and happy. I decided to finally make it happen and it was pretty simple! I pulled together the ingredients: – [...]

    The Advent 300

    I have been collecting vintage stereos for a while now and it really is a great hobby because you not only enjoy nice music, but also get to know a piece of history. About 10 years ago when I moved into my first house I remodeled the kitchen and bought a nice little table radio: [...]

    I was lucky enough to go to my 3rd All Star game last weekend in Orlando, Florida… but as fans know is more than just the game but a full weekend of events and showcases. We really didn’t expect the game to happen with the lock out this year, but everything looked great and went [...]

    I’ve been wanting a turntable for a while now.. since I was still living in Italy. Then I moved to Portland and as you can know from the TV show Portlandia, here we grow our own vegetables, we are into pickling, cutting own hair, homebrewing… so it is definitely the type of place where to [...]

  • Organize: My Tiny Closet

    tiny closet organized

    I LOVE our new house, but I HATE my bedroom closet. Seriously even after years of living in 500 or less square feet downtown, I’ve never had to live with such a tiny tiny closet. It is as wide as the door (which is old and small) and only goes back about 2 feet. Let’s [...]

    Image from nattybydesign.blogspot.com

    I’m not a fan of pink, never really have been, but I’m finding myself really into coral lately.
