mirror fair :: functional art

I came across a father and son owned mirror company: Mirror Fair, New York City. Such exquisite craftsmanship.

Cavallo Inc. was founded in New York City in 1911 by Stefano and Louise Cavallo. Using their European background and contacts, they established themselves as importers of fine antiques and reproductions.

Stefan Cavallo, their son, became president in 1950, and began manufacturing, with skilled artisans reproducing antiques from the Cavallo collection.

Stephen Cavallo, the third generation, is currently leading the company in a new direction, custom mirror fabrication, installation and glass molding.

I’m crushing over the signs that are popping up in home decor.

I stumbled upon this sign which would be ideal for my office and/or studio.

leopard :: meow interior

I love leopard print year-round, although in the fall it just seems so much more warm and inviting. A little here, a little there, oh heck … a little everywhere.

ball and claw

I grew up in an old home {1818}, seven children, one bathroom {no shower} with a ball and claw bathtub. A little chilly in the winter months but heavenly when the sun poured in during the late morning.
