tea for two...

and two for tea :)

getting to the point...

I FINALLY took some pictures of our new Fort Point studio yesterday!

Jen and I moved in back in September and between both our schedules, the process of setting up is taking a while. So it's a work in progress - we still need a rug, curtains and desperately have to hang up all of Jen's gorgeous prints... But enjoy!


Welcome to our new studio! JHill Design on the right, Jessica Sutton Graphic Design on the left :)


a cozy little corner for reading, sipping tea, greeting clients...
I got the couch, desk, coffee table and chair (cropped out on the left) on Craigslist - all via Crocodile Tears!! I recovered the chair with Amy Butler fabric. The vintage desk lamp was my grandfather's.


all the ceiling lights, shelves, storage boxes and blanket are from IKEA...


This space heater was my grandfather's...
Amy Butler fabric on the windows (for now) and striped IKEA fabric hides shelves for storage..


Intern station on the left, my station on the right... desks are Melltorp dining tables from IKEA.
Both chairs were bought from Craigslist (white is West Elm, black is Knoll), the cart is a vintage folding medial cart (circa 1970), all found on Crocodile Tears!


grabbed this wireform when Parlor was closing for $10!


the lovely miss Jen Hill!


I found this old sewing table in the trash!! Just put our coffee machine on it today (not pictured)...






Our little mascot, mr. Oscar... :)

The lovely miss Keyse also featured us on her blog here!

tea time...

I attended Jen's tea-party-bridal-shower today and just swooned over all the antique, mixed tea sets.











Fittingly enough, I came home to spy this adorable teacup on Desire to Inspire:



Mmmn sleepytime... goodnight!

tea time...

This has to be the coolest teapot I've ever seen! Spotted on Supermarket (Joey Roth, $200).







It even comes in a recycled paper pulp box!

impressed...

While out shopping at Copley yesterday, I swung into the Aveda store because I live for their tea and they always give you a free cup while you shop (not to mention, their products are amazing). I was greeted by a sweet sales lady who treated me to a wellness massage and the afore-mentioned tea... Needless to say, she got a great sale out of me.


my new favs: Chakra 2 Balancing Body Mist & Blue Oil Balancing Concentrate... apparently I need to be balanced!

But anyways, the point of this story is how impressed I am with their eco-conscious, well, everything! Since I was shopping with my canvas tote, my entire purchase was dicounted - then I happened to notice a jar of milk/bottle caps and asked what they were for... well get this - for every 25 caps you bring in, you get a free deluxe Aveda sample. Since caps can't be reprocessed like bottles, they end up in landfills and worse yet - the bellies of our beloved sea-animals. Aveda is collecting them and recycling them into caps for their limited-edition retro Clove Shampoo bottles that come out this fall!

free tikoli tea towels!

I just read on poppytalk that fawn & forest is holding a "mother's day promotion" where you receive a free Tikoli tea towel with purchases over $75 when "tikoli" is entered in the comments field at checkout (Offer ends May 20th). Tikoli tea towels are influenced by Japanese prints and mid-century modern design, and are printed on 100% cotton fabric.

How adorable would these be sewn together as a runner? Or maybe I'll cover my ugly bulletin board with one, à la miss keyse....
