1. I want this pantry, from the geniuses behind emersonmade.
2. Shannon, who writes the great blog, Project Shannon, and who won the monogrammed hand towel give away, sent me this photo of her new hand towels from LGN sponsor A Slice of Life.
Didn’t these turn out so pretty?
3. Remember Sheila? Thanks to those of you who voted for her! We would love for you to vote again, if you have a minute.
This is Sheila’s adorable kitchen. Can you spot the topiaries? Yeah, they’re real. And no, we didn’t drop $110 each on them at a fancy nursery.
$24 at Home Depot!! With the pot! no jokin.
4. Also from Sheila, she is reluctantly parting with a set of four perfectly-perfect vintage bamboo chairs. If you live near Philly, and you want them, email me your best offer for the set.
5. I’m happily using these jadite/milk glass lamps in a new nursery design. And you’ll never guess where they’re from. H-to-the-Goods.
They reminded me of the Martha milk glass lighting collection that costs a gajillion dollars.
6. Working on a post all about shelf styling that will hopefully inspire a client with a bedroom full of gorgeous new built-ins. This noteworthy image happened to be on my desktop. So very lovely.
7. For that same client, we’re using these RH rods for hanging gorgeous silk curtains. These are definitely my favorite curtain rods right now. Big finials can be so fussy. This hardware looks crazy expensive, but lucky you, in reality it’s only mildly expensive because the set is on sale.
8. On to a different type of hardware, I died and went to heaven when Joanna posted these wedding rings from the Brooklyn shop St. Kilda. Yes, a thousand times.
9. This bathroom makes me so happy. I want a clawfoot shower stall, please. Baths sort of gross me out anyway.
10. Lastly, it’s the weekend already.
Today will be full of errands for me. Little lassies will be in toe. Tomorrow, I’ll be shipping about 50 boxes of fabric to some of you! I’ll also be contemplating this vintage dresser from Craigslist and how it may or may not be perfect in my bedroom. What say you?
I wished I still lived in Philly, I'd pick up those chairs in a heartbeat! And, to top it off I'd reupholster them in my new trellis fabric! Can't wait to get the package! Thanks again!
I want that chair in the House of Turquoise photo. How inspiring!
Clawfoot shower–love it!
Yes, yes, yes! Snap up that dresser!!! Love it! I am kicking myself for missing out on some awesome arm chairs and a dining room set this week.
That pantry is to die for – love the large glass jars. It looks so organized.
I wish I could have those chairs, but not another chair is welcome round here. You always have the best things and thoughts.
that clawfoot shower is a hoot!
I want to move into that pantry!
pve
ooh, love that dresser. Baths gross me out, too! And those rings!! Wow, that was a fun post…
I saw go for it with the dresser. If only for the cool handles alone. :)
And that clawfoot shower? Ah-mazing!

Be still my beating heart, that shower stall!!!! And those rings…
Sigh.
Wow, that shower is lovely! And, I wish I were in Philly and I'd be all over those chairs. Have you checked out the Robert Allen cufflinks collection? I posted about them yesterday….my new favorite drapery hardware.
The clawfoot shower is amazing, but how about that chair!?!? It certainly stole my attention.
And you must get the lovely dresser–what a find!
Jenny-go buy that dresser!
yes on the dresser – the feet and knobs did the trick.
First: That shower in IN-SANE – I'd feel like I'd died and gone to heaven each time I used it!
Second: WHERE was that beautiful jade/milkglass lamp yesterday when I was at H-Goods looking for the perfect lamp? {sigh}
Third: Yes to the dresser – you would put the rock all over it.
Lastly: Hope you received my email 'bout the gray/cream ikat from yesterday's post.
Happy Weekend!
Where did the rug in Sheila's kitchen come from?!
LOVE it all!
Definitely get the dresser! I'm looking forward to my package of fabric from you :)
I love that shower!! That would be a great way to start the day.

Fun thoughts – I live by Philly and wish I had room for those chairs because I'd love to get my hands on them and paint them turquoise. Alas, my husband would NOT want me to buy them just to store them in our garage, so I'll have to let someone else snap them up!
Thanks for the shout out Jenny! :) And the claw foot shower – I've never seen anything so amazing!
Can't wait for the post on shelf arrangement. Anyone have pictures or ideas for really shallow shelves? I have 3 3" shelved in my living room and it has been a challenge to find thing to perch up there. Thanks!
Rebecca
That pantry is truly GORGEOUS. I also want to buy a dozen of that turquoise chair so I could have one in every room of my house!
I say YES to the dresser! I saw those topiaries at Home Depot too, and was going to get them but thought twice about it. At the time I was thinking 24 bucks was really expensive for some small trees. It sounds like that is actually quite a good deal. Do I need to run back to the ol' Depot to pick 'em up?!?
also… I am CONVINCED that your Homegoods is way better than my Homegoods. :)
Yes Yes Yes to the dresser. Those gold pulls are rad! With a little paint that thing could be georg. I'm also over the moon for the jadite/mild glass lamps. Maybe you'll share a few photos from the finished nursey…… Happy weekend!
That pantry is bigger than my whole kitchen! Such great jars. Yes, I'll take it, thank you!
I so love that pantry too. How freaking amazing is that? Organized and pretty!!! Reminds me that I need to get going on my own pantry… which is a hot mess!
Oh to have a pantry like that!!! Someday, someday. For now it is just a tiny little cupboard. And a clawfoot shower? Genius.
Love that H-goods lamp! I've got to get over there today!
Looking forward to that post on styling shelves, as I have a rather large set of bookshelves in my office and I'm requiring a little insiration before I tackle making them pretty! Have a wonderful weekend Jenny with your girls,

I am loving that pantry!!!
I have a kent coffey credenza/ highboy set I found. That stuff WORKS beautifully after all these years. Well made, no sticking drawars, etc. BUY IT!
I have 2 of the same chair that is in the House of Turquoise picture. I paid $40 for them from a neighbor who was going to put them on her curb to throw out. I got them reupholstered but now I want to paint the frame, and perhaps reupholster again. I'm so glad I caught your post.
jenny! you are so busy! can you write a "how to run a business and keep my kids in the clothes" post?:) have a nice weekend
Oh my, yes, I do love that dresser. And I would love to see what you do with it. I now covet that pantry. I might build mine with some thinner wood panels to hold the jars in though.
Jenny: You're starting to trip me out! I went to Homegoods 3 weeks ago and bought 2 off those milkglass lamps- because they reminded me exactly of Fireking Jadite dishes…LOVE. This is the second time that's happened! A while back you posted about some gold lattice mirrors that you spotted, and I had purchased a pair to turn into twin headboards. We must have similar Homegoods stores- and similar thinking. Too bad we don't live close, It'd be a pleasure to take you along on my hunts!
Rachael
Definitely yes to the dresser, and I want to live in that pantry!!
Geez, Jenny! Can you freeze time or something?!How in the world did you manage to drive to and from Baltimore, take care of your kiddos, write up a post, and run back out for more errands when you have a 3 month old who is probably not letting you get a whole lot of sleep?! You're amazing! I hope you get a chance to have some down time this weekend!
It looks like a solid, quality piece. You could do wonders with that–so YES!
That jadite lamp is phenomenal!!
I neeeeed one for my kitchen to nestle in the rest of my jadite collection!
I saw this on the Urban Outfitters site, and immediately thought of you: Antoinette Fainting Sofa in kiwi.
Do you think you can do some living room posts soon? We're shuffling roommates in my place and we'll be doing over our dining/living rooms soon. Ideas would be helpful!!
First, can I just tell you how much I love and adore your blog? I'm about to get married in July and can't wait to decorate my first home. You give me so many inspiring ideas. I love it. Second, I say yes to the dresser, just so I can see how you re-do it and add some of your usual pizzaz. Third, I'm in love with that shower and wall paper behinf it. Loooove.
Those jadite lamps are gorgeous….i can't believe you found them at HG!!
Clawfoot shower – Ah…mazing!! I'm glad your liked the milk-glass lamps from the Home Store too, I spotted them last week & thought they were adorable. You gave us great things to admire! Happy weekend to you ~ deb
whoa, i'm totally making a trip to homegoods next week. and you should totally get that dresser from craigs!
that clawfoot shower rocks! so do the home goods lamps. have a great weekend jenny :)
yes, please on the shelf styling post!!! desperately needed!
I have those lamps. They are white with a blue shade. The day I bought them was a wonderful day. Love them!
Oh that bathroom is gorgeous, I love the shower, the wallpaper and I'm pretty into the towel rail too. I've been mulling over one just like that..
I just looked at the Emerson house on another blog and that top image was the very one I saved, inspiring!
Have a lovely weekend with your girls..
I'm sooo glad you're doing a post on shelf styling. I'm so defunct in my abilities to do that. Also, I love that your three month-old is 17 pounds. My four month-old son is barely 14. He looks like he's going to be eaten by other babies his age. And that clawfoot shower is one of the coolest bathroom items I've ever seen. Have I mentioned that you're my favorite decorating blog?
