Catalog Living Thanks

Here at Within we REALLY love to read Catalog Living. Have you read it yet?

It's fantastic!!! WE are constantly rolling laughing. Genius!

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in West Elm catalog? or Pottery Barn? or Crate & Barrel? well... Catalog Living is your answer!

Catalog Living is the creation of Molly Erdman, a Los Angeles-based actor, writer, and comedian.

So, as a thank you to Molly and her fabulous thoughts...here are 3 pics that we found on the back of our Formica samples... we would LOVE it for Molly to come up with something fantastic for these 3.

Molly, if you're out there...and if you read this... can you please honor us with your fantastic wit and creativity?

I'd love to see what Gary and Elaine say to this.....

Decolav Bathroom Makeover!

Hello Friends!

Last year we won a fantastic Mini-Bathroom Makeover from our friends at DECOLAV!

And finally we were able to carve out some time and Do the Makeover!

We won this fabulous set.

These are the photos that we posted on Decolav's Facebook page.

We only did the bare minimum to this bathroom to keep budget nice and tight.

Phase I complete!

Have a fantastic Monday all!!

During our hunt for inspiration last week, we walked into Antigone Books and lost a few hours inside...We walked out with some cool Tucson Postcards..and what we were looking for,

some sweet Notecards...take a look!

This great book is not only covered with gorgeous prints, but inside it carries sweet envelopes and a ton of note cards to choose from! We Love it!

Another great buy under $20 !

Thanks Tucson! Thanks Antigone!

We are Truly Inspired Today!

Happy Friday All!

Send a little sweet note to someone today!

~ Supporting the Locals ~

Last week We needed Inspiration...so we decided to close the office for the day and stroll around Downtown ....

We ended up on the other side of the bridge on 4th Ave..and stopped in at this fabulous little shop called PopCycle!

"Recycled, upcycled, green& sustainable gifts, accessories, apparel, & furniture"

We fell in Love! So many things to look at... So many great ideas...

Our heart fell to a leather band with flowers... for under $20 it was ours.

It had been recycled from an old belt. Voila! our wrist looks great!

Here we show off our new little accent piece!

You can reach PopCycle: popcycleshop@hotmail.com

and DDco Design too!

{Loewenstein Mod}

This is the Stryde Collection by Loewenstein.

So clean.

So modern.

We had to share.

The Stryde Collection, designed by Michael Wolk, is reminiscent of popular international lounge chairs from the mid-20th-century. Characterized by clean, simple design, Stryde’s interesting angles and mix of wood and upholstery give it a classic style. A gradual tapering seat, streamlined silhouette and solid Black American Walnut legs create the perfect modern lounging experience. Oak and Beech woods are also available for individual modern tastes.
