So Sorry!
We have been down for 2.5 days and I apologize. It’s been driving me crazy that I can’t post all the cool stuff I’ve found over the past few days. I will be back to posting tomorrow - need to do some database and web cleanup today. There may be a few bugs on the site today.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Ilan Dei Studio
Custom cabinet designed and produced by Ilan Dei Studio. It reminds me of an old-school refrigerator on steroids.
Burnt Credenza
Made from reclaimed Douglas fir, this credenza is truly a unique piece. The sculptural legs were originally carved in plaster then cast in solid bronze.
Millicent & Frank
Look at these cute little tree and letter decorations from Millicent & Frank.

Thank You
Thank you to everyone who emailed me or commented with well wishes during this time. We are now back in our home and we are safe. I can’t imagine what it must be like for those who lost their homes in these fires. I hope that those of you in SoCal are back home and safe or will be back in your homes soon. Image above from NASA.
Swank Lighting
The Edward P. Paul Company originally imported these lamps from Venetian glass houses and marketed them under the Balboa trade name. Later, Balboa lamps were offered at department stores such as Macy’s, Bloomingdales, and Marshall Fields. When Ed Sexton and Doug Taylor happened across a nearly forgotten treasure trove of vintage Murano glass lamps from the 40s, 50s, and 60s, they bought the entire inventory. They opened a showroom in Dallas and have a website at www.swanklighting.com.

Evacuated!
We’ve been evacuated from our home in San Diego, so there might not be posts today or tomorrow. We are safe and the fires are not near our house right now. Hope everyone else in Southern California is safe and well!
See Through It
I love clear chairs. As most of you probably already know, the Kartell Ghost chair is my favorite chair ever. So, whenever I see clear chairs, I can’t help but feel like collecting them.
Luisa Chaise
Every time I look at a chaise I think about relaxing and wish I was on vacation. Too bad it’s Monday.
Vivaterra Coat Stand
Alright, one more post. I couldn’t resist this one…

Sloom & Slordig

Greening It Up
I have been trying to go green in as many aspects of my life as possible. I know it is super hard for most people including me, but there are little steps you can take. For example, this month I have decided to opt out of mailing lists and discontinue receiving paper catalogs.
First, I contacted a number of catalogs I know that I get and don’t want anymore. If you don’t remember all the ones you get, you can go to www.dmachoice.org/MPS or www.catalogchoice.org. I’ve decided not to opt out of Ikea because I get it once or twice a year and I read it over and over. Plus, their website stinks.
Then, I opted out of all those pre-approved letters I get that just end up in the garbage. I went here: www.optoutprescreen.com.
If anyone knows of any other ways to stop receiving junk mail, please let me know! If I could get rid of those coupon circulars, that would be ideal.
More paper saving and earth-friendly ideas for the rest of the year:
- Use 100% recycled copy paper
- Buy a fake Christmas tree and forgo the lights this year
- Buy recycled paper holiday cards printed with soy inks or send e-cards
- Give reusable grocery bags as holiday gifts
