Haus Beautiful: New Additions
Today, I’d like to share a few of my favorite new house-related purchases. One of the places I religiously visit when I’m in New York is Fish’s Eddy, which has the best selection of dishes, both vintage relics from restaurants and airlines in addition to clever new offerings. This time, a small tray resembling a restaurant order pad caught my attention:
This weekend I was perusing Urban Outfitters in Portland and found this metal replica of antelope antlers. I hung it next to my closet in my room in case I need to hang up a shirt, a scarf, a pair of socks or something else I don’t want to forget. Cute and practical!
Finally, I also picked up a red enamel ‘A’ from Urban Outfitters.
There’s a ton of other colors and letters to choose from and they’re already rigged for hanging on the back. Though, I happened to have an old white shelf so I used that for display instead. Here’s the wall next to my desk in my office:
Have you found anything spectacular lately to decorate your dwelling? Show me!
It's all about the ears. Nubby Mouse in full effect.

Hi!
Thats so funny, when I was in nyc I picked up the same antlers and letter in UO and carried them around and then realised that *sob* they were too heavy to bring back in my case:(. Our UO here doesn’t have the amazing home section that your US ones have, we have the clothes (wayyy overpriced) and some not so fun house stuff.
love and kittens, xo
I’m more mesmerized by your attention-demanding portrait… Is that your work or someone else’s?
I am in the middle of getting all sorts of letters for my flat (so far mostly Ms to go in Mila’s room), but I plan on getting the whole alphabet at some point. I really wish we had those letters in UOUK instead of crappy novelty penis pasta shapes.
Oh well…

hey babe, so funny to see that red letter A. I did a few photos with a wooden red letter A that I cut out and painted, to be part of a HAPPY BIRTHDAY series a few friends and I did.
At that time we were obsessed with tea parties. My photography is nothing to write home about, but its kind of a cute setup

I’ve never commented before, but I just had to today Nubby because your letter made me smile and only this weekend the man and I found black, white and red letters at the markets, and promptly bought our names to display on top of our open fireplace! (Yes, there was much jumping up and down in excitement, tres dorky…)

Love love the letter! I have to get a W!
a staghorn fern – a great addition to my deer collection…like yours!
Loulou: great minds think alike! It’s funny how much we have in common style-wise.
Annie Spandex: That portrait of me was a gift from my brother about five years ago!
Mademoiselle Robot: It sounds like it’s pretty dismal as far as the overseas UO home dept. goes! And a whole alphabet would be amazing!!! If you manage to do it, you must share pictures!
Dayna Desastre: Thanks, they’re my first set from an antelope!
Hannah: Yay, glad you love typography too! That’s so cool that you spelled out your entire names!
i LOVE that tray. totally jealous. i found a pair of those antlers at a rummage sale a few months back and i’m considering spraying them gold. for the time being, they’re perfect for bathrobes. i put them right over my shower: http://flickr.com/photos/eegelko/2447424317/in/set-72157605161788451/
essie: You did a fantastic job! Love the gold paint job!!!
thank you! i have this weird desire to spray-paint everything gold, silver, or peacock blue…or maybe i’m just addicted to the fumes.
My latest addition to my room is a mini usb fridge. It’s adorable, small and red and white (so I have a hunch you would like it).
