Have you seen the new special issue on organizing from Martha Stewart?
I was surprised to find two projects I produced years ago as the Senior Style Editor at Living. For a bathroom without shelves in an apartment above Martha's carriage barn in Bedford, I had six brass shelf brackets nickel-plated, then paired them with lightweight lacquered trays for extra storage.
Peek-a-boo! I see me.
For the second project, I made a shelf and bench in studio using antique corbels from a salvage yard. How cute is my friend Austin's poodle Matilda on the seat cushion?
I could have definitely used a manicure after this shoot.
And listen up, everyone! We're doing a little early spring organizing in the prop house this month, so look for a tag sale in our Etsy shop with chic, vintage servingware and accessories from previous magazine shoots very soon!
This is one of the most charming actconus of history that I've ever come across.....girly, you have charmed the little white work out socks right off me.... your grandparents, well it leaves me speechless, just like the miniature vignettes in your theater.Remember the scene in "Titanic" when Jack sneaks Kate down to steerage....they Irish dance all night long while Mr. and Mrs. prim and proper snore away upstairs.....I LOVED THIS SCENE...it transported me...

Just selected sconces very similar to those in the bathroom story for a project we're working on right now. Some things never go out of style!

All things are beautiful and clean. I can't wait to do it in my new house.

The projects are beautiful--well done! Just wanted to let you know I do enjoy all of the posts that you have at your blog--when I first "discovered" you online last year, I got sucked in, reading away, and didn't emerge for a couple of days!

I adore both the shelves and the mirror from the first photo! I love it when dogs are incorporated into interior shots. Much like flowers, they bring such life and warmth to a room! :)

I got this as a little Valentine's Day gift from my husband when we saw it while grocery shopping - I've been slowly making my way through it - there are so many great images and ideas in it!
Posted by: Beth (Hello Lover) | March 07, 2012 at 04:22 PM
Those are some great ideas! Going shopping or at least checking out the goodies in your Etsy. Have a beautiful day designing.
Posted by: jennylynn | March 07, 2012 at 12:57 PM
You must have been able to decorate and re-do your new home on a real budget?
That is such the gift you give to all of us...
I bet her farm is amazing I use to drive by her Westport home all the time...

Didn't know this issue existed!
Posted by: One Fabulous Mom | March 07, 2012 at 08:41 AM
We based our mud room
addition on the very Matilda
shot that you feature, here!
It was my inspiration page
for our contractor : ) Wish
I could say I'd made the
corbels myself, but I'm not
nearly talented as you two
are. THANK YOU for the
inspiration ~ as always!

I need some serious organizing around here.....what great projects!
Posted by: elizabeth@lovelylittleparties | March 07, 2012 at 12:33 AM
It just goes to show that your work (and style) stands the test of time, even tho it was only 2 years ago, ;)
Matilda is a darling! As are your projects.

Great projects! Glad Martha brought them back for another visit. I completely thought that dog was a toy ;0

1. I just saw the photos of your "prop house."..drooling over heeja. 2a. LOVE that you guys are going Etsy! 2b. How can I register for early-bird VIP shopping?! ;) 3. I did see that issue and saw so many great ideas...it is NO surprise that you are the genius behind some of its content! XO
Posted by: Amanda | March 06, 2012 at 10:20 PM
What good ideas. I have stored the first project in my files for many months now and can't wait to utilise the same ideas. I had no idea they were trays, I thought they were thick wooden planks painted gloss white.
Posted by: drey | March 06, 2012 at 08:43 PM
Fun bathroom space. Love the high ceiling
Just re-did a closet too....you inspired us. It
was one of the last spaces needing a remodel in
this old home. Not as pretty as yours, but done.
Posted by: My Design Guide | March 06, 2012 at 08:31 PM
I tried to find this at my Books A Million today but couldn't locate it. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Congrats on being included. Love those projects, by the way. And I'll be checking out your Etsy shop. Best to you and J :)

Terrific ideas, of course. I'm actually contemplating how to incorporate some shelving in my bar area for additional glasses. I like the idea of finding something older, it will look so much better that brand new shelving.
Looking forward to visiting the tag sale!

Good stuff doesn't got out of style...does it?! Are you doing a "special" Easter table "spread" this year?? I "emulated" yours from last year and almost killed myself...but WE LOVED IT. franki
Posted by: Franki Parde | March 06, 2012 at 07:19 PM
Can't wait to see what you have to offer in your prop shop!!! It looks like Martha is in need of your expertise. You would think by now she would have some new material. Goes to show, just how GOOD YOU are!! xoxo Kathysue

Is there anything you CAN'T do Eddie? You are so talented! And that little dog is adorable!

You inspired me to do a white and green mudroom in my house too, with the baskets and riding boots tray. My mudroom is holding up very well still to this day! xo
