• Inventory I Lust After: Paper Source

  [$8, Paper Source] I was lucky enough to swing a trip to Boston this past weekend, during which I met up with some old friends for brunchat Zaftig's in Coolidge Corner, and some browsing at the Brookline Booksmith. As if that wasn't awesome enough, we also swung by Paper Source, so that Erika could pick up some decorative paper for a lampshade decoupage project. Others have recommended Paper Source in the past, sending along its URL, but I had never realized that it was an actual brick-and-mortar shop and, once I was in it, I never wanted to leave.

• Inventory I Lust After: Flavor Paper

  [$150, Flavor Paper] I've been daydreaming about redecorating lately (what else is new). Michael and I are painting are bedroom walls this weekend and, next up, we're eventually painting the kitchen walls. The bathroom is a lost cause but, if I had more money and it wasn't such a major pain in the ass, I'd go the wallpaper route. Since finding Flavor Paper online, I'm tempted to deal with the agita anyways. Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Dutch By Design

  [$39.50, Dutch By Design] I've been into the bright colors lately. My mother would be proud. Back in junior high and high school, she had to bribe me into wearing bright colors by offering to buy me new clothes. Now I'm going ga-ga all on my own over items like this string curtain, available at Dutch By Design. After the jump, everything else I can't help wanting: Read More...

• Inventory Lust: Pinel & Pinel

  So my CD collection is buried in a box somewhere, but this music trunk would make me want to dust off my old jamz and put them to use. The Soprano Music Trunk has a Bang & Olufsen sound system and holds up to 480 CDs. Not that I even care how many CDs it holds; I just think it looks cool (you can even choose the colors out of 51 options!).  More awesome/beautiful/functional trunks from Pinel & Pinel after the jump: Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: All the Luck in the World

  [price available upon request, All the Luck in the World] I can't help falling in love with the one-off items at All the Luck in the World. Full of color and (second) life, looking through the photos on the inspiration page is like peeking into an alternate universe. After the jump, another product I can't stop staring at, one I'm too late to pick up, and some more inspiration photos: Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Jack Spade

  [$195, Jack Spade] Is it weird that I like Jack more than Kate? It's just that...I love the slimmer, simpler looks...the pure and simple functionality of his bags. (I use a men's wallet as well.) After the jump, my favorite pieces from Jack Spade's inventory. Men: Do you love these as much as I do? Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: PBteen

  [$299, PBteen] You know what frightens me most about this shop? Absolutely everything in it is a thousand times nicer and chicer than anything I ever owned as a teen. You know what's worse? Absolutely everything in it is a thousand times nicer and chicer than anything I own now. Could this perhaps have something to do with the fact that the shop is affiliated with Williams-Sonoma, the materialistic representation of all my adult aspirations? Perhaps... After the jump, some more objects I wouldn't mind using in my adult condo: Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Rock 'n Rose

  [£8, Rock 'n Rose] Once upon a time, I was the un-girliest girl I knew. I wore baggy jeans and dirty Nikes all the time, and my mother had to bribe me to wear color or do my nails for school dances. Then, I went to school in a city where people dressed up to go to the goddamn supermarket, and now I wear a-line skirts every day and lust after delicate little doo-dads from the likes of Rock 'n Rose. I hope the menfolk will excuse me for me for a bit as I freak out over the following small lovelies. Perhaps Alex or Shaun could follow this up with a dirt bike review... Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Black Ink

  [$18, Black Ink]  OMFG. Black Ink has opened an online shop.  Forever ago, I posted about my road trip to Boston, which was — as per usual — filled with mostly eating and shopping. I was especially thrilled to walk Newbury Street again (as commercialized as it's become...), and couldn't head back home without stoppingin at Black Ink on Charles Street. When in Black Ink, I'm like a kid in an (adult) toy shop! They're stocked to the gills with all the quirky items we typically post about here on MM. So I'm understandably thrilled now that I can score some of their inventory online: Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Selina Rose

  I am blessed with hardwood floors, which allow me to play around with area rugs, and also allow me to pretend I'm ice skating in my socks.  Unfortunately, I can never afford the really good area rugs. Our first one was purchased on sale at Bed, Bath & Beyond and, when that one got too gross to stand, we upgraded to one from Home Depot. Still...I'd love to purchase something for my floor from a designer who creates cut-out images like those above.  Welcome to Selina Rose's world.   Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Jessica Rust Designs

  [$55 or 4 for $165, Jessica Rust Designs]  I'd probably be too frightened of breakage to ever actually use any of the items created by Jessica Rust Designs, but that doesn't stop me from lusting after her collection of personalized dinnerware...especially those from her Birch Tree collection.

• Inventory I Lust After: trixiedelicious on Etsy

  [$35, Etsy]  I was pulled into trixiedelicious's Etsy shop when I first saw this "horny" cup and saucer over at Awesome. Then I realized that pretty much her entire inventory was...well...awesome. You have to see this. Read More... Posted Jul 16 2008, 11:00 AM by Steph Auteri with | with no comments Filed under: kitchen, inventory lust

• Inventory I Lust After: Figs & Ginger

  I saw their pieces for the first time in Boston, at the Society of Arts and Crafts. Then I caught sight of them again in New Hope. I wanted it. I wanted it bad. Now I've found their web site, and I will proceed to gaze at each image lovingly until something inside me snaps and I end up ordering their entire inventory. After the jump, some of my favorite pieces: Read More... Posted Jun 27 2008, 03:30 PM by Steph Auteri with | with no comments Filed under: Jewelry, inventory lust

• Inventory I Lust For: Design Glut

  Design Glut is a studio started in 2007 by Pratt graduates Kegan Fisher and Liz Kinnmark. They specialize in whimsical, almost pun-like objects that are funny in form, but worthwhile in function. Check out a couple below: The Hookmaker combines a tile, with a teacup, with a hook. I may not hang scissors from there, as pictured, but what a great, multi-purpose item.

• Inventory I Lust After: d-Vision

  Most of these are concepts, and some of them are just art. But most of the products produced by d-Vision, a design collective, are jaw-droppingly beautiful. I’ve highlighted a couple, like the cutlery above, and you can check out the rest at their website. Check out the rest after the jump:  Read More...

• Inventory I Lust After: Destination Japan

  Do you ever get the feeling that other countries have more fun than we do? At the very least, Japan knows how to make their containers both sleek and cute at the same time, which, let me tell you, is difficult to do. I once went to a costume party in a brushed metal kitty kat outfit. Not pretty. I was browsing through the MOMa store, and found a couple of neat items from their exclusive collection, Destination Japan. I should also mention at this point that I’m a big fan of plain white, unadorned stuff, so if you like flowers or pretty things, look away before your eyes get burned. Pics, and more inventory after the jump... Read More... Posted May 05 2008, 11:00 AM by Alex Zalben with | with no comments Filed under: Cooking, inventory lust

• Inventory I Lust After: Room Service Home

  [$10-82, Room Service Home]  Okay. So you already experienced my decorgasm earlier this morning (or rather, I experienced it; you just got to benefit from the afterglow). That library center I nearly lost my mind over was from Room Service Home, a shop I soon realized had everything I've ever wanted. Except for candy buttons. And a few other choice items.After the jump, the items I will buy up slowly, one by one, so that my husband does not notice that I've spent the entirety of our savings account until it's too late: Read More...
