the wedding!
sonofasailorblog: i’ve mentioned many times over the last year that william & i are getting married. well, we got married! there was lots of planning, lots of DIY, and it was all very exciting! march 31 was the date that it all went down, and we wanted to share a few photos of the day.  first, though, we want to give a huge shout out to our photographer, Alisa Ferris. she was absolutely...

sonofasailorblog: i’ve wanted bentwood chairs for years. years! but, apparently, so has everyone else. unable to find them for less than $40 a piece, i became resigned that i might not be able to procure a pair for myself…at least until becoming a bit more financially sound! until, that is, i was driving around with my friend mary, and found two slightly distressed caned versions on the curb...

domino is back! (mostly)
it was a serious loss to anyone who loved print and interior design. (me!) when domino folded, we cried a little on the inside! but now it is back, at least seasonally, and curbed has a peek at the mag that hit the newsstands yesterday. well, for those of us who weren’t lucky enough to be around a few hot spots where it appeared early… so, it’s only seasonal now, and punches...

sonofasailorblog: hey y’all, come sneak a peek at the new look book we’ve put up for our classic collection! our good looking and talented friend chelsey was kind enough to model for us. she’s in town from san francisco working with us on a collaboration for our spring collection (very exciting…more details over the next couple of months!) so we totally exploited her on a glowy overcast day.  ...

help! what kind of drinks!?!
sonofasailorblog: so we’re trying to choose two signature drinks for our upcoming wedding. we’re sort of going for a his and hers theme and we thought we’d ask what your favorite drinks are! the only requirements are that they be vodka drinks and that they not be too involved in creating. in fact, if they could be pre-made, that would be awesome, but not required… what should we make?
