New Shop On Etsy: SockTales Makes Headlines
I’m a little off topic today, but I had to share these awesome, handmade headbands now available at Etsy’s SockTales shop (love that name).
My niece has fashioned these one size fits all must have fashion headbands using a variety of colorful new socks. Each headband is finished with a special button or bow. To check out what’s she has in stock, go SockTales and check them out.
Each headband sells for $12.00. Awesome price! I love a one of a kind accessory. As I always say in the interior design biz, accessories are the jewelry that make a room look finished. The same is obviously true for fashion. It’s the shoes and the headband that make an outfit look pulled together.
Take a look at SockTales. These are original and fun.

How To Add Accessories To Your Home Without Spending A Bundle
Have you ever noticed a woman wearing a beautiful dress only to notice that her shoes are the wrong color, a belt would have added a lot of zip, and that she forgot the jewelry? I think in the same way when I walk into a home. The furniture is beautiful, but where is the jewelry? You might think that art and accessories are the least important part of decorating a home. “Those things are so small. Who’s gonna notice?” And hey, after spending all that money on the furniture it may seem that spending even more on accessories really isn’t that necessary. Or, it will get done later. Much later.
I want you to love where you live. All of it! So make sure you’ve got the tchotchkes. They’re just as important as the right pair of shoes. Read More…
The Latest Trend In Interior Design: Sculptures Are Must-Haves For Sophisticated Rooms
a
Accessories are the most important part of any properly decorated room. They’re the finishing touch – much like the earrings, scarf and shoes you wear to complete an outfit.
Sculptures and statuary are an emerging trend that will help you put that final piece of jewelry in any room. Here are a few I’ve chosen to get your creative decorating minds a head start on this trend.
Have you visited One Kings Lane? They feature daily sales on individually selected home products. This Saturday, June 4th, interior designer, Michelle Nussbaumer, will be featured as one of their Tastemakers. They select items from their own inventory. Which brings me back to statuary.
These Tang Dynasty-style ceramic rams (pictured above) will be included in the sale ($749 – marked down from $1,400). You have to grab these deals fast as there are only a few pieces available and they sell out quickly. In the case of these horses, they’re one-of-a-kind. I often see statuary and sculptures at One King’s Lane.
