Feature: Je l'aime

I love knobs. Um...if you're from the UK that is going to sound bad, but if you're American you know what I'm talking about.

B and I visited World Market this weekend when we made the trek to Wilmington. They had the cutest selection of hooks and knobs. I think changing up the hardware on furniture pieces or the simple addition of a decorative hook can help you add a touch of whimsy or class to a kitchen, room or hallway.


Fork, Knife, Spoon hooks from World Market. $4.99


Blue ceramic knobs from World Market. $4.99 for 2

Swirling Seas Knob from Anthropologie. $12


Tin Roof Switchplates from Anthropologie. $18-$24

The NYC apartment of Carrie and John Preston

A bunch of my NC ladies and I went to see Sex and the City II last night. We only paid $2 at the movie theater on base. And drinks, popcorn and candy are each only $1.

I might just start going to the movies again....

We all decided the movie was silly, over the top, dragged on a little too long and felt anticlimactic. But I was completely enamored of Carrie & Big's apartment....

The Dining Room - I love the combination of colors, textures and patterns. And what an awesome chandelier....



The living room - I love the unexpectedness of the blue couch (my husband would never let me get a couch like that), and the artwork on the wall behind it. And that chandelier peeking out from the hallway to the right....




And of course....la pièce de résistance

Carrie's closet - I love how Carrie's side is so romantic and feminine and the contrast with Big's side of the closet which is the picture of masculinity.

Le sigh> Here's to dreaming....
