Site Spotlight: Tiny Prints

It’s true that most tasks are best accomplished via email, but I’m a sucker for stationary. I pay my bills online, but I believe in hand-written thank you notes and pretty party invitations. So I was psyched when Tiny Prints signed on as a Style Carrot sponsor. Here’s a sampling of their adorable invites. The designs are cute and peppy, and cover pretty much any occasion, from baby announcements to holiday cocktail parties, sweet sixteens to changes of address, even gift tags and personalized organizers. Have a look at my favorites:

Get the Look: 53 Sideboards, Credenzas, Buffets

Following up on yesterday’s Montage: 45 Rooms with Sideboards, I’ve sourced 53 mostly modern sideboards, credenzas, buffets, or whatever else you’d like to call them. Many are pricey (a sideboard is a hefty piece of furniture), but there are a few inexpensive finds. I’ve always loved the Dandelion by Iannone Design, but I’m in serious love with the Florence Knoll in gray with the carrera marble top. (The Concrete low dresser at CB2 is a decent sub, minus the fancy slab.)
