One of my all-time favorite home accessories designers is John Derian. In his true right, he is actually an artist, transforming ordinary glass into glimpses of the past. He has a charming shop in New York City that actually doubles as a curiosities shop. Walking in the door, you feel like you are in part…
We haven’t met with a florist yet, but I am almost certain that the wedding is going to be pink and green, with some sort of neutral accent. (Champagne? Brown?) Here are some floral ideas I’ve gathered so far.

My favorite mug is the “Hotel Times Square” mug; the size is perfect for morning coffee. Their Polka Dot collection is fun; the two handled dish doubles as a great bowl for soup or cereal. The Floorplan…
