anti china cabinet


I am anti china cabinet.
I don't like them and I tend to find them too formal.
My ideal home would have a butlers pantry
So until I find the "one" or move (not happening soon) I thought I would display my Russel Wright china on an Ikea Stockholm bookshelf.

    yes, i SO agree! i hate those 'formal' glass fronted china cabinets everyone's mother has, china fussily displayed and never used. I think one of the basics I want in a house is a butler's pantry, for sure. Also glad to see my drink of choice, hendricks!

Silkeborg - Ikea turkish rug

Incase you don't already know, Ikea has a great new (limited) rug collection out!  Its called Silkeborg and you won't find it on their website (at least in the US). Silkeborg rugs are made from vintage Turkish rugs that have been cut up (to save the good parts), dyed, shaved down and then sewn back together to form a one of a kind piece!  I encourage you to go check them out!  The quality is fantastic and prices are untouchable!  Below is a photo of the display I did the for Pittsburgh store. And one of the little guys I picked up for under my kitchen sink. Let me know what you think after you've seen them in person!   -Greg      style="display:block"      data-ad-format="fluid"      data-ad-layout="text-only"      data-ad-layout-key="-gw-1+1v-3d-12"      data-ad-client="ca-pub-4537218573050932"      data-ad-slot="71...

our new house

On January 16th, 2018 Elliott and I became homeowners!   After 10 years in our condo it was time... we wanted more space, a yard and no HOA.   We were looking  for years but nothing was right.  A friend of mine made us aware that this house had a for-sale-by-owner sign and in the process found out that my dads co-worker was the owner... lucky for us he recently acquired it with the purchase of a different house (in order to get the house he wanted this house he had to purchase this house as part of the deal) and he wanted nothing to do with this one so we jumped at it!  as is. with no inspection. eek!   The house was built in 1910 and was vacant for 7 years before we got it.  Ive been wanting to document this process all along (which i do on instagram @: ggpiccini) but life happens and i get busy... We had to get our condo ready to hit the market (two mortgages is no fun), which we did (and it sold in 3 days!) and we had to get th...

christian chaize

I've admired these photos for years and have finally found the photographer! Christian Chaize, a self-taught French artist, lives and works in Lyon, France. For the past 20 years he has had a successful career in commercial photography. The photos are of a small stretch of coastline in southern Portugal. He became obsessed with it while vacationing there in 2004... (lucky for me) I would love one above my bed in a high-gloss white frame
