Mayme Baker

Designer Mayme Baker calls herself a "vignetter", it's all about the details. I first discovered this talented lady at House of Fifty, an online magazine. The latest issue features Mayme's home and it was love at first sight for me. Check out the details...

A "New" Coffee Table

I found these coffee table images at Apartment Therapy, the iron bases are from vintage antique wood stoves...

I thought they were so cool and clever that I showed the images to Hubby (not really believing he was paying attention). A few days later he brings me home one he found in the woods while doing a work site survey! He listened and I think it's one of the most romantic things he could do for me!

 

 

We have some work to do...not sure what color to paint it, but I think I prefer a wood top. I hope to show off this diamond in the rough very soon.

 

New York Loft

What is it about lofts? I love the idea of all that space...

"Marco Pasanella has been and still is a teacher, a designer and a writer. Then he added to the list - becoming a wine merchant. He has just published his second book, "Uncorked: My Journey Through the Crazy World of Wine" chronicling the story of his shift from designer to setting up and running a wine store, Pasanella and Son, in the ground floor premises of the South Street building he owns and lives in with his wife, Rebecca Robertson, a former editor at Martha Stewart Living, and their son, Luca."
