Deal Alert: Baker Warehouse Sale

Love the furniture collections of Barbara Barry and Thomas Pheasant? Both are by Baker. If you’re in the NYC area, take a road trip out to Jersey for the Baker Warehouse Sale. And you needn’t be a designer to go. Baker is offering consumers a large assortment of furniture and accessories, from case goods and upholstered pieces to pillows, lamps, and linens, at clearance pricing. A delivery company will even be on-site to help set up shipping arrangements (for an additional charge), or you can whisk them away yourself, on the spot, with the help of staff.

The PR gals at Baker were kind enough to send photos of a sampling of items that will be available. And here are the details too.

Shopping Trip: SoWa Market

I’ve lived in Boston for over six years, and have never visited the SoWa Market. Until last weekend, that is. It was a beautiful day, so I dragged my family out to explore. While the boys feasted on delicious, super chocolatey homemade brownies (sorry, I didn’t get the vendor), I whisked myself through the stalls at record speed, camera in hand. Here’s what I turned up:

sowa1Tot tees from Pinecone + Chickadee and re-purposed gift cards from Albertine Press.


sowa2Handmade soaps by Urban Kitchen and infused honey from The Herb Lyceum Kitchen.


sowa3Monster incense burner and pottery vases by Steve Murphy.


sowa4Local veggies.

sowa6Grain sack pillows from The Textile Trunk.


sowa8Macaroons from Klara’s Gourmet Cookies and tea towels by Moth Written Dialogue.


sowa9Vintage home furnishings from Studio Twenty Two.

Get the Look: Trees

First it was silver candlesticks fashioned to look like tree branches. Then it was faux bois white resin furnishings that were all the rage. These days hunks of the real thing are showing up in the most stylish rooms. Logs as side tables are particularly popular, as are glass topped bases of gnarled branches. Have a look at my piece “Branching Out” in the Boston Globe Magazine for the best finds in Boston. Below are amazing pieces you can find online.

Shopping Trip: Brimfield, The September Show

I went to Brimfield today. It was a whirlwind adventure, accomplished between drop off and pick up (could NOT be late on the first day of school). I didn’t set out with a mission. Just to explore and take a lot of photos. Here’s what I turned up…
