[WHO GIVES A SHIT] Everyone Hates Everything?

DAYM, PPL!

Buh-leeve me: I know a thing or two about hating shit...I'm actually pretty darn good at it maself. But even I've been blown away by all the haterade flowin on MFAMB right now over everyone's most hated design trends. Here's what's gone down. A few days ago, Jenny dared to go here: "I thought today would be a great day to post some of the shit I hate or that is starting to give me chronic vaginal dryness...and after i want you to do the same.

Z Gallerie Gets No Respect

Why the hell doesn't anyone ever talk about Z Gallerie?? I don't get it.

True, they do have some weird shit. But they also have some fab, chic furniture and accessories, and its shockingly well priced. And if you must know, I'm totally dying over these turquoise leather wingback chairs.

And after looking at their website, there's like a million billion other things there that I want too.

[I'M OBSESSED] Art Needlepoint

I've mentioned my needlepoint obsesh before.

Back 10 years or so ago when everyone was obsessed with knitting, I jumped on that train for a quick minute. But it didn't take me long to walk right back into the warm open embrace of my one true love: NEEDLEPOINT.

I haven't been doing much of it on my own recently because I've been too damn busy buying vintage needlepoint canvases off of eBay. But I think that's all about to change now that I've found Art Needlepoint.

My main issue with needlepoint has always been that, in general, the canvases just suck a dizzle.

BRIMFIELD RECAP: This Ain't Yo Momma's Flea Market

So, Brimfield. I can sum it up in one word: WHOA.

I've been to the Rose Bowl market, the Brooklyn Flea and everything in between and trust: I've never seen anything like this shit in my whole entire life. Brimfield is truly its own animal...and that animal is sorta like Jabba the Hut. It's big, it's bloated, and if you let it, it will eat you alive.

I ventured up to this tiny Massachusetts town early on Tuesday morning with my House of Brinson travel buds, @studiobrinson and @williambrinson. We arrived mid-morning and the market was already in full-swing. As we pulled up to the parking field, we caught glimpses of what was to come, and before we even parked the car, some members of our party one member of our party (i.e. ME) was licking the window glass in anticipation.

[WHERE I BLAHG]: Decor Demon

photo: Sarah Dorio PhotographyEach week (ish) we'll pull back the curtain, and give you an insider's look into the lives of some of your favorite bloggers with 'Where I blahg.' This week: Brian Patrick Flynn (@DecorDemon) from the hilarious Decor Demon!

If you're not yet aware of my Decor Demon obsesh, then clearly you don't know me at all. Like I'm talking it might be time for us to srsly re-evaluate our relationship. Let's just say that if RULING MY FACE SO VERY HARD were an Olympic sport, this dude would pretty much have more Gold medals than Michael Phelps (also, I SO bet Brian has a pair of those little speedos too). His site is bursting at the seams with fabulous photos of all of the spaces he styles and designs, and that would so be enough ppl...cause that's how hard they rock. But he even goes to the trouble of telling you where the hell he gets all the shit he gets, and how he puts it all together. Oh, and he's funny as all get out too...AND ON A MOTHERFUCKING TV SHOW. And the best part?: he's the only Where I Blahgger to ever put himself in his photo (and could you just die over the cuteness??). So yeah, obvies TLF.
