b.a. overlays
May 14, 2012b.a. – adj. an abbreviation for “bad ass”
overly – n. gorgeous way to make your furniture look cool
Overlays take your boring old dresser to tres cool.
They definitely make that IKEA furniture look more Jonathan Adler.
And they definitely make the garage sale find make a statement.
And they don’t cost too much. And they are perfect for a DIY day … and … and … gosh, so many possibilities!
Two ladies, Cheryle Rhuda and Danika Herrick, interior designers, started this incredible company in hopes that you can take your drab furniture to something fantastic. Overlays can be painted or just left solid white and can go over the dresser, mirror or wall that you’re seeking to jazz up. I mean, who said that getting a cheap dresser, table or frame wasn’t worth it?
See what I found on Pinterest.

The Perfect Slipper
May 10, 2012Friulana Slipper by Allagiulia has made its way from Northern Italy, my friends. This is, according to Vogue.com, the Venetian version of an espadrille. Worn by gondoliers, back in the days of Yore, the shoes were made out of scraps of old felt and bicycle tires, which provided traction preventing them from skidding on slick sidewalks.
“I’m originally from a town near Venice called Treviso,” says shoe designer Giulia Campeol.“When I was a child, my mother and I used to take trips to Venice to buy friulanas from the Rialto Bridge market.”
And the shoes are recreated by local craftsmen, true to history. Using bicycle tire scraps for soles and fabrics from her travels, Campeol has assembled the must have summer shoe. Get them here for just $135 – $145!
