We recently had to pick up some kid band-aids. We've been using boring adult ones and the little one didn't really care. But now it's time to add some fun to boo-boos.But the kid band-aids in the store were ugly and/or boring (or covered with TV characters I don't want the kid to know about yet). So I went online and found...

We have Netflix and no cable, so we watch TV shows seasons at a time. We just burned through three seasons of Dexter in about a month and I am now mildly obsessed with his apartment. You can see why I love the interior here and why I love the exterior here.
I think my favorite part is his bookshelf. Although, I didn't...

They have more than a few mid-century modern home clients with art toys and it's great to see the collections live throughout the house.

Our library could probably stand a little love and a new paint job, but at its core it is a pretty outstanding mid-century building. And I finally got around to taking a few photos during our weekly visit.It's the Yarborourgh library in Austin now, but that wasn't the case till 1999.
Originally the building was the...

I have a mini obsession with VW buses. Once we're to a stage where we're no longer hauling precious cargo around (the type that needs a baby seat and/or airbags), and my current car turns its last key, I'm planning/hoping/scheming to get an old-school VW camper bus.However this VW bus wagon, which we spotted at the park,...

The 2012 Blue Genie Art Bazaar opens today and runs till Dec. 24th. If you're in Austin, it's a great place to pick up some art for your mid-century home.

I was scrolling through comments on Mr. Modtomic's blog and came across this incredible globe chandelier. I can't imagine how big your travel-themed nursery would have to be in order for this to fit, but if by any chance it's big enough, I think you should be required to do this. I can't get over how pretty...
