After Laura (Allen, that is) told me about her awesome find at JT Designs, I had to check it out. You won’t believe the amazing things they have to offer. With a cool, mid-century vibe, JT Designs has a vast assortment of antiques, consignment pieces and new accessories, along with a fabulous collection of jewelry.

I found this great light fixture for my dining room or kitchen–that’s yet another decision I have to make. From retro furniture to random dittys, they’ve got something to add a bit of fun in your house or office. 

JT Designs is located at 2223 W. Markham Street in Little Rock, just in front of the Arkansas School for the Deaf and Blind.

I consider the removal of the painter’s tape the most rewarding part of painting a room. But it’s not so wonderful when you see that your paint has bled through the tape and your edges aren’t as clean as you imagined. If you are as picky as me, it’s time to throw away the oh-so famous "blue painter’s tape" and get some Frog Tape. Yep, Frog Tape. Frog Tape is a pro painter’s grade masking tape that has a special chemical on it called Paintblock that helps prevent the annoying paint bleed that happens with other masking tapes. Not only does it resist bleeding, it also keeps from tearing and gives you the crisp clean edges you deserve after all that hard work. Visit www.frogtape.com to place your order.

Party Plates

I am so excited. Not only is it St. Patrick’s Day, but my party plates arrived safely on my doorstep this afternoon.

While on a recent hunt for vintage records in Austin, I came across these splendid little plates. Seeing that my suitcase was pretty close to the airline weight limit (which always seems to happen), I had to wait and order them online when I got home. Check out www.rosannainc.com. From vases to plates, she is sure to have some super cute ideas for your next party.
