{ Martha Stewart Rugs

Last weekend I was fortune enough to have my father help us out with putting the baseboard molding into our office. This is a big step forward since we have been with out any molding in our house for quite some time. But being the plan ahead type of person I am, I have started looking into rugs for this inspiring little space. I’ve skimmed over OverStock, West Elm and yes of course Pottery Barn. But I have ended up falling in love with Martha Stewart’s Rugs. Her use of subtle patterns and textures is a powerful but not over bearing way to bring some much needed life into any room. How are you going to cover your space? Pretty sure mine is going to have Martha Stewart’s name on it.

{ Holden Pet Bunk Dog Bed

My love for dogs was not a feeling that I have had all my life. Truth be told I was deathly afraid of them when I was younger to the point of full on tears when any dog would come around me. Of course this was because of a incident when I was about 5 years old that involved a black lab bigger than I chasing me down the beach. To my parents surprise, when I decided I wanted a dog I came home with my very own big black lab. And to this day I will not own a dog that isn’t black. They have a dear place in my heart that I will hold and cherish forever.

My streak of black dogs continues on with our current addition, Poe. He is 150% ball of pure energy, smarts and always up to no good. I assure you he is always into something, everything and anything he can get a hold of. He keeps me on my toes and demands my attention whenever I am around. Lately he has been having some bad itching problems, so my mom took him to the vet today. Thankfully there wasn’t anything major wrong… just some allergies. Which brings me to the point I wanted to make. This dog, this Poe dog is exactly like me. I mean, even my husband and parents recognize it. It’s like Danielle in dog form. Which I never thought really possible.

So just like me, when I get back from the Doctors.. I think it only fair that I get a gift. So why wouldn’t Poe get one. He has successfully ruined more dog beds than I can count, and naturally we are back in the market for a new one. Holden Pet Bunk caught my eye. Clean lines, wonderful use of materials and just over all looks smooth. I am sure Poe would chew right threw it in no time turning this fresh little modern bunk into a heap of sawdust. Non the less.. I can dream for the day when he won’t destroy his dog bed and add this to his @twisht list.

Happy (snowy, in my case) weekend to everyone! I am blogging from Heber City, Utah today the happy home of Sycamore Street Press. I am attending a letterpress class to make some holiday Christmas cards for all of my favorite people. This should be a GREAT chance to freshen up on all my printing skills, since for the past 3 years I have been working primarily in a Web/UI atmosphere. Hopefully I will come back covered in ink and completely fulfilled, at least for today, for my design fix.

Look forward for some updates, photos & just over all feedback from my exciting letterpress adventure. More to come…
