Anthropologie's Paint By Numbers Rugs

Anthropologie is one of my favorite stores. All of their products have their own unique spin and their new Paint by Numbers Rugs are no exception. Now, their Paint by Numbers Rugs join the members of the nostalgia club along with: glee clubs, ping-pong, hula-hoops and flash-cards. I love this new twist on the paint by numbers sets from my youth. And, just like your childhood creations, you have the option of hanging the rug up on your wall! With this latest inspiration, I may have to buy a paint by numbers set and take a trip down memory lane.

 

 

The 2008 HC&G Idea House

The 2008 HC&G Idea House, opened Friday July 25th and included three prominent spaces designed by David Bergman Architect. The annual showhouse, which is sponsored by Hamptons Cottages and Gardens magazine and is a major event in the Hamptons summer season, is eco-themed this year. As an architecture and interiors firm with an emphasis on sustainable design, Bergman was  invited to design the Master Bathroom, Dressing Room and adjacent Hallway.   David's contribution is quite remarkable but I am not surprised.  Last year I took his class on marketing green products and it was truly inspirational.  Way to go David!
