ok! actually on thekitchn.com!


Yes, my dear readers!! This time, I was actually featured on Apartment Therapy through their sister site, TheKitchn.com.

The article is based on decorating a San Francisco couple's sad little kitchen. The author recommended my red canisters to brighten things up a bit!

YAY me!

Apartment Therapy folks REALLY like those little red canisters.

my stuff in apartment therapy!

Okay, not my actual stuff, but in today's Hot House Tour on Apartment Therapy, I noticed TWO things that Maven Vintage sells in the featured house.

Below, the kitchen of Lisa and Clay who are featured as the Hot House Tour today on AT:

On the shelves in their kitchen are the doppelgangers of my orange enamel teapot and vintage california pottery.

Seriously!

I love this house, but had no idea that Lisa & Clay should hang with Adam and I!

Well, they may be a bit too cool for us.

Here are my versions, available now on Maven Vintage:

need a mental health day...week...whatever.

I have working so hard lately...all I can think about is running away on vacation!

I interviewed a gentleman who was telling me about his upcoming trip to Paris with friends. They rented an apartment and they'll be touring the city for a week.

Just the thought made my heart ache. What I wouldn't do to just take off with my hubby to Paris...in a beautiful apartment...buying cheese and wine...sitting at the base of the Eiffel Tower making fun of other tourists....just like we did on our honeymoon.

Even on our honeymoon I was thinking about starting an vintage shop.

I didn't buy anything for the shop then, but on my next trip to Europe, I picked up this travel clock at a flea market in Bologna.

I carried him around Italy with me...along with a little coin purse and a few other small goodies that I couldn't pass up.

Okay...time to get my act together and head to work.

The entire time, I'll be thinking of this instead: Haven in Paris.
