HOME Mint. . . DO it

by emilyalder on Apr 19, 2012 • 1 Comment

For years, Justin Timberlake has moved seamlessly between the movie, music, and fashion industries. But today’s announcement of HomeMint, a collection of home goods and art designed and curated by Timberlake and his longtime interior designer, Estee Stanley, brings him into the design world as well. The collection will be available exclusively online at HomeMint.com, to members—who pay a monthly fee of $10 to enjoy discounts and early access to new products—and nonmembers alike.

The line won’t be available to buy until early May, but you can preview the collection and sign up for updates today. To celebrate the new site, Timberlake and Stanley shared images of the pieces from the line and spoke to ELLE DECOR about the collection.

A statement in fuschia

by emilyalder on Mar 19, 2012 • 2 Comments

I love the idea of creating a bold statement in a classic room. In this instance the muted dining room and beautiful wood accents are complimented with the addition of the bright dining chairs. I mean, come on, how totally amazing are those chairs? They are so so gorgeous. My search to find them as officially begun. With that said I also dig the small but complimenting bright blue vase.

I will let you know how the search goes. (photo)

Happy Love Day!

We had a nice morning around here. I got up early and made pancakes for Thomas and my version of eggs Benedict for Matt & I.

Thomas and I are playing around on our apple gadgets for a while and then we will go on some kind of adventure before I begin cooking dinner.

Hope you have an amazing day. Full of love, kindness, & joy.

XOXO,

J.Crew in wonderful colors

by emilyalder on Feb 13, 2012 • No Comments

It’s no surpirse that I am posting about J.Crew because I love them. Everything about them. In fact I love them so much that I have kept the first sweater that I ever bought from them. Purchased in 2003, a salmon pink jackie sweater. I still wear it to this day. So of course I am completely enamored with their new Spring collection.

AND… This is pretty much how I feel about all of it…

What was that? Oh yep! Etsy shop launched!

The Alder Designs Etsy shop is live. After a big week, we are so glad that we hit our goal and set everything up. We will be adding new items daily, but for now we are pretty excited about what we have going on. A lot of it was inspired by Valentine’s Day so we put together a little dessert table inspiration. Major thanks to Ali Winston Photography & Jessica Murray Designs for all their help. They are seriously AMAZING!

Anyways, here is a couple photos of the shoot with our etsy products:

Ooooh so fun. We had the best time putting together all of the treats & and goodies. Pink, glitter, & sparkle… everything nice.

Dig it? We really hope so! Make sure to check it out and grab some last minute Valentine’s Day goodies!

Weekend Warmup

by emilyalder on Feb 10, 2012 • No Comments

PHEW. What a week. It flew by. BUT it was a huge week. Met great people, connected with some awesome bloggers, did a wonderful valentines shoot, and prepared to launch our etsy shop. Pretty sweet, right?

Here are some fun personal shots of the shoot yesterday with Ali from Ali Winston Photography & Jessi from Jessica Murray Designs.

So much sparkle it makes me smile.

I have also found my new favorite festive nail color.

Essie’s Watermelon is the perfect color for V-Day. A seriously bright pink. I love it.

I cannot explain how much I love this collage of photos. It is a simple but wonderful way to document your little one joining the world. Something to keep in mind for our next one. {source}

The perfect wedding table inspiration.

This is beyond perfect. A must send to the wedding planner!

Have a lovely weekend and stay tuned for the launch of Alder Designs Etsy shop later today (hopefully)!

Happppppy Weekend!

Pop Up Shop Goodies!

by emilyalder on Feb 8, 2012 • No Comments

We quickly hopped on 100 Layer Cake‘s Pop Up Shop with Chez Renee last week. We have been major fans of the shop for a while now and this was the perfect opportunity to indulge. We purchased a gift certificate and got it via email yesterday. This morning we went on a little shopping spree and picked up these goodies…

A sweet little set of Milk Glasses and Basket. Perfect for flowers on the dinner table.

The most wonderful recycled wood cubby to house our crafting supplies.

A fabulous 3 tier wire basket to organize yummy kitchen treats.

Yup. We lucked out! Some serious awesome home goods.

Now for some more items we are coveting.

A pretty painting for the walls

A lighted Bar Sign

A rustic bakery basket

The prettiest 12 diamond pave ring

A gorgeous vintage display box set

those are just a few! See the rest at Chez Renee

Chevron Drawer Liners. How perfect are these? They would be perfect to apply to the bottom of a white tray to keep makeup/jewelry/girly goodies. Alright, purchased. Next DIY!

Coming Soon….

by emilyalder on Feb 7, 2012 • 4 Comments

I am VERY excited to announce that after much anticipation, preparation and questioning my creative abilities I am finally, almost ready to launch my Etsy shop. This is something I have been working on since last Fourth of July. I originally wanted to open by the end of the summer, but life got away from me and the whole idea was put on the back burner. Although it was something I was constantly thinking about and hoping that one day I would get it off that back burner.

So, one of my first goal as we began 2012 was to get my shop up and running. I was going to attempt to create a shop on my own site. But with everything going on I am going to save that idea for alter and start on Etsy. Hoping I can get a bit of a following that will lead into opening my own shop.

I have been crafting quite a bit for the past couple of weeks and have gathered some old projects to create an inventory. It has become abundantly clear to me that it will be mostly a party supplies shop. I will constantly try new things and create new items, but all of what I have now are projects that I have enjoyed doing for a while now. Something that comes naturally.

Yay! Interested? I hope so!

Here is a sneak peek:

Please check back this weekend or early next week for the official announcement and opening! Yipee!!

Thank you for helping to push me to try all of these fun ideas and providing motivation to keep working on this amazing creative outlet. I couldn’t do it without all of your support!

I’d Live Here – East Coast Beach House

by emilyalder on Feb 2, 2012 • No Comments

This incredible home was designed by Hutker Architects. A architecture and interior design firm based out of Nantucket & Martha’s Vineyard. Lined with wood, harbor views, barn doors, and a sustainable design, this whole house is incredible. I am tempted to pack my bags and spend some time on the East Coast. Almost…
