Funny or Die

Casey Wilson is one of the funniest ladies you will ever come across.



I could have told you this all through middle and high school, but now I don't have to. Lorne Michaels figured this out for himself, and (rightfully so) put our girl on Saturday Night Live. Casey was seriously one of the hilarious and stand-out cast members this season, and I am not just saying that because she's my friend. Or because she's paying me. I accept Paypal or cash.



This week, Casey contributed to the very funny website Funny or Die. Check out her Blah Blah Blahg up on that piece. Read it, comment, and vote 'funny' for her hilarious videos.



And get ready for an hour and a half of laughs when the film Casey wrote with June Raphael comes out. Bride Wars comes out sometime next year. I will keep you posted on the release date.

Martha's Organizing Tips

Miss Martha Stewart is, among other things, one of my heroes. Everything she does is just so aesthetically inspiring and perfectly executed. I check Martha's website often and her blog for helpful tips and ideas. One of my favorite of Martha's "good things", is her organizing tip of the day. From magnetic clothespins to freezer labels to hidden desk storage, the nesting queen makes everything in the home practically perfect in every way.




I LOVE YOU MARTHA!!!!

The Perfect Bed

I found my perfect bed set today on Design*Sponge. Owned by the talented and lucky Johanna Clark, this piece is so perfectly mid-century Danish modern and was only $350 at a thrift store.

Rooms I Heart

Seeing how other people nest and set up their homes is one of my favorite guilty pleasures.


So I just love taking a peek into Rooms I Heart found over at Decor8.



These clean crisp kitchens make me want to start scrubbing my counters and re-doing the floors. Ah, and this patio. How lovely and inviting.



I could scroll for hours....

Upholstery, Piping, and Linen Spray

Happy Mother's Day! This week we are re-upholstering 6 antique dining room chairs, and learning how to re-cover a vintage ottoman. Upholstery is an art I have never tackled before, and this week we give new life to an old piece with organic fabric. We provide a quick tip that will keep your linens smelling fresh. There is also a special viewer submission in this episode of a cool way to recycle your family's old vacation slides.

Sherman

I love Cindy Sherman and frankly, I need another dose.



I received this stellar retrospective and find myself constantly looking through the many facets of this incredible woman's work.



Sherman gives us such a raw experience by literally embodying these different women, exploring their lives from within.



Each piece just fascinates me to no end.

A Sponge for Design

I am always a sponge when it comes to good design, and one of my fav sources is Design*Sponge.





I love this cool, crisp restroom with the glossy black frames on a white wall.



With guest bloggers like Poppytalk and sneak peaks into artists (like Lisa Congdon) studios and homes.



Keep your eyes peeled for killer DIY projects and up-dates on the hottest green designers.

High Heal Hooks

How cool is this? A collection of vintage high heals that must have broken off of the shoe, and was then made into a cool hook display. My sisters and I saw this in a great little vintage shop in the village. SUCH a great idea.
