Stuff Inge Wants from My Apartment

My friend Inge came over tonight and asked me for a link to the following things that she saw in my apartment that she now thinks she can't live without.

1. This scooter she watched move up and down my hallway and doesn't leave a mark on pale wood floorsMini Kick Scooter


2. This trampoline not only tires out my kiddies but folds under their bed - not that attractive but it has proven to be a lifesaver Folding Trampoline

3. This takes up very little space and makes the BEST coffeeNespresso Machine


4. This magnetic knife rack will save you counter space and I think looks amazing. It took me forever to find one that was simple stainless. Ikea $9

Eames Lounge Chair.. to be or not to be

I grew up watching my dad enjoy his few seconds of relaxation a day lounging on his Eames Lounge Chair. The chair was an ugly muddy brown and I had no idea how iconic of a piece it was until he recently died and left it to me. It happens to go with nothing in my apartment but I desperately want to sit on it everyday and figure out a way to not only convince myself but my husband as well that it could work in our hollywood regency / mid century modern with a twist of 2010 apartment. My gut tells me to reupholster it in white leather or vinyl that feels and looks like leather but can withstand the munchkins living in my home and their little visiting friends. Would appreciate any thoughts.

The Color Purple for Caroline

My friend Kathy's daughter wants a purple room with a huge piece sign. Still looking for a peace sign that isn't to tacky. Any suggestions?

Erinn Valencich and Decorati

On of my favorite sites is Decorati - basically you can not only see the work of amazing designers but then they show you where you can find the pieces in the room or something similar. Wanted to share the images I found of Erinn Valenchi on their site Decorati.
For me the brighter the better and of course l
