Inspiration of the Week: Sculptural Chairs
Given my dual loves of furniture and all things wacky, it was just a matter of time before I stumbled onto the DigsDigs discussion of The 15 Most Unusual Lounge Chairs in the World.
Here is my favorite, the bathtub chair:
And here is my second favorite, the Teddy Bear Chair (points for the creepy factor):
Ok, but: [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Jewel Tones
Color is one of the most talked about topics at Spruce. Deciding which colors look best on a certain piece of furniture, which combinations jive, which colors represent a certain style best, and the list goes on and on. When we make our own Spruce furniture, we are constantly trying to decide what colors we [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Rugs
One thing I love about my current house is the wooden floors. They add warmth to a space yet are incredibly practical (especially with 2 cats, 1 dog, and an outdoorsy husband). However, one of the things I love the most is the need for area rugs on hardwoods. Amazingly, I have yet to commit [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Get out of Town!
I am dying to take a summer trip! My hubby and I have been talking about taking a road trip somewhere. As the summer days fly by, our aspirations have gotten less and less grand. It started as a road trip to the Grand Canyon (I’ve never been) and has become, “hmm….maybe we can squeeze [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Pool Furniture
I spent this weekend at my neighborhood pool, soaking up the sun, catching up on my reading, and splashin’ around with my friends.
Shipe park and pool is an amazing little getaway right in my neighborhood. For the price of ZERO dollars (thanks, Parks and Recreation Department!), you’ve got yourself a little piece of heaven.
The only [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Lonny Magazine
So, something that has inspired me for a few months is truly a God-send. Since the death of Domino (I know, depression), there has been a void that has yet to be filled. The voice and aesthetic that Domino had as a magazine was pretty genius. It really made design accessible and something you could [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Sex and the City 2
As you already know, the Sprucettes attended a viewing of Sex and the City 2 last week. Afterwards, we were gushing over the interiors, furniture and fabrics used. In the first movie, Carrie’s apartment underwent a major renovation. In the sequel, her apartment with Big was even more striking. So, since we all left eager [...]
Inspiration of the Week: It’s Summer time!!
First off, happy Memorial Day! A great big “thank you” from Spruce goes out to all the soldiers and their families! I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend, hanging with friends and family, eating BBQ, and kicking it in the shade to beat the 90-plus degree heat!
Memorial Day, for many people, marks the [...]
Inspiration of the Week: Musicals!
So, I know that when I first introduced myself I mentioned that I like musicals. This is a bit of an understatement. When I used to travel to NYC quite a bit, I would pack in a show a night. I didn’t care if I had someone to go with, all I knew is that [...]
