Restoring a Farmhouse

A fabulous (and fast) before and after happening over at Aesthetic Outburst today. Abbey whipped up their new farmhouse dining room into shape in record time, creating a most desired aesthetic I might add. Love the thrifted lighting and that wool rug at a local (to her) store called Nasco Home not to mention the refinished hardwood flooring!

NSS 2011 Preview: Pistachio Press

With the National Stationery Show coming next week, we'll be featuring some previews as they come across our radar in the next week or so.  First up, I'm excited about this collaboration of notebooks by Rachael Hetzel of Pistachio Press and Abbey Hendrickson of Aesthetic Outburst!  Also they couldn't be two nicer people.  The cross stitch collection is designed by Abbey, printed by Pistachio Press.  And the mid-century design is by Rachael.  Both notebooks are printed on 140# kraft paper and contains 48-pages. They'll sell for $7 each or a set of three assorted designs for $18. They can be pre-ordered at Pistachio Press's Etsy shop here.  Rachael will also  have them in her booth at the National Stationery show, number 1664.
