Yay for twin nurseries! I am due in a little less than two months with b/g twins and love looking at inspiration to see how other people design a double nursery! We also used gray for the walls! Rory & Quinn's Double Fantasy Nursery Tour Flag this comment	4/5/11 8:40 PM

ooops! I was wrong... they're not Eva Zeisel Schmoo - they are the "hug" salt and pepper shakers from the MOMA Store: Theresa's Tiny Treetop Apartment House Tour Flag this comment	10/11/10 5:04 PM
I love the "schmoo" salt and pepper shakers! @greenmeansgo - they are vintage -by Eva Zeisel. Theresa's Tiny Treetop Apartment House Tour Flag this comment	10/11/10 4:58 PM
I have had this idea of collecting Eva Zeisel for Hallcraft (Fantasy pattern) dish set for ever - there is always a decent array of things on Ebay, but mostly my hesitation is about the room in my kitchen/dining room!! I still like the dishes I got for my wedding, but it would be so nice to have a fun vintage set to use to change it up a bit!

I love how there is a photo of scrabble in this post! I haven't suffered from winter power outage in a long long time, but when I was growing up in a very wooded area of New York - it was a yearly occurrence. My family always played scrabble... it was the only time I ever remember playing as a kid! How to Deal With an Unexpected Power Outage Flag this comment	9/23/10 11:33 PM
ooooh - those Eva Zeisel Harlequin dishes.... perfection!! I have been scouring ebay for months for special Eva Zeisel pieces. Maybe I should start collecting an entire service? Very inspiring! Leslie's Collected Cool House Call Flag this comment	8/13/10 1:39 PM
absolutely amazing taste! I love your home and how you've managed a design scheme that really looks like you've collected over a long time and only kept the things you love the most! Those double front doors remind me of the mid-century house I grew up in ... and those windows - love! Jennifer's Retro Residence House Tour Flag this comment	8/13/10 1:18 AM
@ if1hadwords - I keep an ongoing list of names that I love... unfortunately we are on the later end of our friends in terms of having babies and most of the top choices have been "stolen" by other couples. Sigh. I have a super common name (for my generation) and was one of 3 Alison (Allyson, Allison, etc)'s from pre-K through graduation. I hated that for most of my life I was referred to as Alison G. or just by my last name (even worse). AND that my name is misspelled (with two L's) by pretty much everyone. I think names are so important and have a real effect on a child's personality. If I hadn't been "just another Alison" but maybe an Olivia, (which in the 80's would have been unusual) who knows what would be different about me today!

I have no words... there are so many images in this post that have been so overused and overdone especially in posts and tours on AT. I do like the photograph of the lady in the red shoes though... Etsy Finds: Travel Themed Art Flag this comment	7/29/10 3:52 PM
I love love love this space! Those bookshelves are TDF... I am saving pictures of them so that I can get my husband to make them for my office! Also - my heart went pitter patter when I saw your cocker spaniels... there is hardly anything I love more in the world than a cute cuddly cocker spaniel :) Gitesh & Thomas Stick with the Classics House Tour Flag this comment	7/29/10 12:59 AM
