Keith Johnson

The best part about going to the Short Hills Mall, for me, is checking out the vintage goods at Anthropologie. Antiques buyer, Keith Johnson has an amazing eye. I've yet to see anything in the store I wouldn't gladly put in my house. The NYC apartment he shares with his partner, Glen Senk, CEO of Urban Outfitters (includes Anthropologie), is just gorgeous. I never tire of looking at it. The couple met when they were nine, how fun is that!

Below, a mix of photos from their home as well as pieces Johnson sourced for the store.

Check out an interview with Johnson as he shops for Anthropologie here.

Happy Anniversary Shed

This month Shed celebrates its three year anniversary. Thanks very much for making it happen. PS.. happy mother's day to all the moms out there. Hope you get some time Sunday to put your feet up and relax.

Barn love

I don't know how I missed the Sunday NYTimes Style magazine, but fortunately a friend (thanks L) dropped off a copy at the store. Seeing this contemporary barn in East Hampton reminded me once again of my dream to live in a converted one someday (or at least one that someone else took the time and sweat to restore). Just beautiful. Read the article here.

Thomas O'Brien

When it comes to combining new and old, Thomas O'Brien is king. Whether it's his gorgeous interiors or products at his store, Aero, O'Brien captures the essence of warm modern beautifully.
BTW... I am going to be hanging with my friend Maura Buckley Thursday night in Millburn for Girls Night Out. Her fab interiors business Etc. is located in front of Suburban Paint. Stop by for a glass of wine and to say hello.

 

Domino

Grocery shopping got much more fun this week when sitting next to US and People magazines I spotted this lovely new issue of Domino. Okay, so maybe I recognized most of the pictures from old issues, but it was still a treat to see my old friend. Hoping the fall issue will have some newness to check out.

Art Walk

If you are around Saturday, stop by and check out the Maplewood Art Walk. Artists will be on hand throughout town to show their wares and answer your questions. Along with art, there will be special visitors and promotions throughout town. Hope you can make it. 

Queen crush

I'm a sucker for home decor inspired by the UK. I love anything English, including the accent, the Queen, flags and crowns, and anything Kate does (both Middleton and Moss). The pieces featured here just seem to add instant hip to their rooms.

Shop Shed today and Saturday ONLY and take 25% off when you mention the blog. Does not include special orders or vintage and cannot be combined. Two days only!

Sex and the City

The other night I caught an episode of Sex and the City. It was like running into an old friend. It made me think of the beautiful NY apartment of Sex and the City author, Candace Bushnell, which was featured in Elle Decor So Chic a few years back. Wasn't crazy about the movies, but wish the series could have stuck around longer!

Colorful Moroccan poufs at Shed $260 each.
