Crate & Barrel revamped their Sloane collection. I'm rather disappointed with what they've come up with... I much preferred the Espresso color they used to have, than the new "Java" option. I also preferred the brushed nickel handles to the rustic ones. I feel like this whole rustic, faux distressed look is just an unfortunate fad, and you can never go wrong with sleek, clean & modern. Hopefully someday they'll bring back the old Sloane! :):)

i love those letters! where can i get some?

okay, so i'm not going to use this opportunity to express "why my over-exposed-to-far-too-many-design-blogs taste is better than yours" by mentioning the gag-worthiness of a keep calm and carry on poster, or word decor (which i personally enjoy, i will always love the graphic look of words & fonts & handwriting, and i find it grossly stupid that anyone sees irony in something people hang on their wall), or how i might gasp at the thought of an unread book, "my stars!". . . but rather take this time to tell about my true, strange design pet peeve: when it comes to anything smooth & spherical, i will steer so beepin' clear. i don't know why this is! for example, if i see a canister with, with a lid, with an attached knob that happens to be a sphere in shape rather than cylindrical, i would most definitely go to the lengths to find & reattach a different pull. or a curtain rod with sphere-ish finials...no way, no how! it's almost phobic! does anyone else share my distain for this particular shape when it comes to home decor?
