Pottery Barn Design Style House

Pottery Barn offers these great design classes every now and again, but they're sometimes hard to come by - and if you're anything like me, my weekends are so precious that invariably I'll already made plans the weekend that they're doing something. But how excited was I when I found that they've taken those classes online at the Pottery Barn Design Style House. Yeah!! Now I can sit on my couch and get great ideas from how to hang photos, to paint colors, to decorating outdoor space or fixing up the perfect home office. It's like the design team has come to me!

Organic Bedding from Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn has recently introduced their new organic bedding. It's perfect timing given the recent warm front that has us all wishing (and hoping, and praying) that spring is right around the corner. Just look at this rich floral pattern! Doesn't it just make you want to dive right in? Plus, since the cotton fibers are organic, this new bedding is something that will help you rest easy.

The TSA has a blog!

How funny - so I'm going through the Augusta, GA airport this morning which literally took only 10 minutes to get from check-in through security and to the gate (more on that later). anyway, I saw that there was a sticker on the counter about the TSA blog and I was like what? The TSA has a blog? So of course I had to go and check it out. First posting is on why people in wheelchairs get screened which is kind of funny because I was just reading an excerpt yesterday from Hot, Flat and Crowded which bemoaned the fact that older ladies are getting scruitinized at the airport and low and behold, TSA found some huge container of explosives strapped to a guy in a wheelchair. Kind of reminds me of this TV show that my husband watches about border patrol! It's actually a pretty decent little blog containing a mix of information and weird stuff - from policies on shoes and liquids to Myth Busters and Aviation News of the Weird.
Who knew the TSA had a sense of humor.

Gorgeous soaps from Beekman 1802

Beekman 1802 is an estate and farm in upstate new york (sharon springs) run by Josh Kilmer-Purcell (NY Times Bestselling Author) and Dr Brent Ridge (with Martha Stewart Living). On their gorgeous grounds they raise goats and have a fabulous garden dedicated to seasonal living. I totally want to visit - and hello, the mansion would make for a fabulous wedding site! Anyway, I came across the site because someone on Twitter (I'm so sorry that I don't remember who) posted a coupon for their fabulous soaps (see picture). Check out the site - and the info on seasonal living. And, if you Twitter - try following DrBrent_ it sounds like he just made some fabulous macaroni & cheese

Domino Magazine is Done?!!?

How can this be?? Domino has been one of my favorite design magazines since they came out. From decorating advice to DIY projects to Domino's little black book of decorating. Apparently the last issue will be published in March. The magazine is closing its doors due to a loss of advertising revenue. Such an incredible shame. I looked forward to picking up a new issue at Grand Central each month - one of the best train reads out there. It will be sadly missed... The website's going down in March as well (according to a Reuters MediaFile post) so if you want to avail yourself of Domino's fab finds, hurry up before they're gone.
