Gardening for Dummies!

Gardening for Dummies!

I  don’t have a green thumb and I think that’s why I was completely blow away by the beauty of the air plants at Nest, a new home accessories store in Columbus. (Air plants or Tillandsia need no soil because water and nutrients are absorbed through the leaves). These are definitely my new plant of choice- it’s like gardening for dummies!  I was equally blown away by the fantastic home accessories, especially the vintage finds, at Nest.  Thanks guys, for showing stores like Anthropologie, that you can sell uber cool stuff at reasonable prices. I’m excited to check out Shine, their 2nd store featuring a larger furniture selection.

The windows of Flower Child, the vintage furniture store in Columbus’ artsy Short North district, tempt us with the promise of mid-century goodies. And the 2-level, multi-room retro heaven does not disappoint with tons of interesting, fabulously kitschy, finds. flowerchildvintage.com

OK, so this is a little detour from the interior design world, but so what? It’s way too fun to ignore. Who doesn’t love a vintage t-shirt? Taschen presents another cool book whose every page you’ll want to turn. From DIY to the mass market, the printed T-shirt has been embraced by fashion designers and artists, street culture and brand-building corporations. Yet its basic form and function are unchanged. From the classic I HEART NY to boobs to Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, there’s something there for everyone. www.taschen.com
