Shopping Trip: Brimfield Antique Show

Yesterday I went to Brimfield for the first time! Luckily, I met up with Jill Goldberg with the impeccable taste from Hudson, who pointed me in the right direction. It runs to the end of the week if you have a chance to visit. (And it’s back again in July.) It was a quick 90-minute drive from Boston. Here are some things that caught my eye:

Get the Look: Your Backyard, A Resort

As summer approaches I am busily searching for a cute, friendly sitter to hang out with my boys at the beach all day while I lounge around indoors writing my blog. (Interested? They’re a bit of a handful . . . ) Last summer I spent my days ensconced in my pure white room, looking out onto the Atlantic Ocean. This year, perhaps I should venture outdoors a bit more. Would help if I had a breezy cabana of sorts. These lounging luxuries are way out of my price range (and probably yours), but it’s nice to daydream.

Shopping: 1st Dibs’ Black and Chrome Room, $13,220

If only I had $13,220, I could put together this fabulous black & chrome room. As if that will ever happen. The crazy thing is, these pieces have all been reduced for the 1st Dibs Saturday Sale. At full price, the look comes to $21,741. Insane. Though, I do adore the 1950s Jules Leleu chandelier.
