Love ’em or Hate ’em..

You’ve gotta love their closets.  Story of my life, I have a pile of unread magazines with the average issue backdating three months.  Well, Johnny-come-lately here just read the September issue of In Style and went bonkers over Khloe Kardashian’s closet.  Khloe‘s always been my favorite.

Second favorite, Kourtney.

And bringing up the rear (just like in real life)….  Kim… Drab, lifeless and B-O-R-I-N-G.

Just sayin’.

Our Kitchen: The Skinny.

A few months ago, I gave you all a sneak peek at our kitchen.    Thank you to everyone for all of the sweet comments and emails.  I still receive a few questions about some of the products that we used, so here is the skinny:
The paint is Benjamin Moore’s Satin Impervo in Black.  It’s durable (this kitchen was painted two years ago), and gives the perfect finish.
We chose the Gilmore Knobs from Restoration Hardware.
 As well as the Gilmore pulls.
The Ikat bowls are from Anthropologie.  I am sorry to say that they are sold out.
The rug is from Overstock.com.  Quite a steal at $127.99!
The fabric is Kelly Wearstler’s Imperial Trellis from Schumaker.
I bought the clam shell bowl at Kohl’s years ago.  You can find similar ones at Z Gallerie.
The soap dispenser is from Target.
I hope that answers all of your questions.  I am so glad that so many of you love our kitchen as much as we do!

TOMS: Eyewear.

You may know that I am a big fan of TOMS.  Therefore, I couldn’t be more excited that the company has decided to launch a line of eye wear.  Not only because of their stylish frames, but because they stand for something more.  TOMS is continuing their success in ONE FOR ONE giving, and for each pair of glasses that are sold, TOMS will provide medical treatment for someone who is visually impaired in countries that otherwise would not have such resources.  I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot better shelling out $140 for a pair of sunglasses, knowing that I am helping someone in need.

I applaud Blake and his company for their desire to help so many in underprivileged countries. Check out this video of Blake’s announcement launching the new line in June.  Amazing.

As Blake said in his announcement “From this day forward, TOMS is not a shoe company, it’s not an eye wear company, but it’s a one for one company.  What a great concept.  I wish them continued success in their philanthropic approach.
I can’t wait to buy a pair.  The only question is which one?
