JEN'S LIST

So, my friend Angie Zupan from Orange on Beverly told me about Jen's list. I don't have a kids, but I shoot kids and she told me to check her webstie out cause she was amazing and it would be good to get in touch with Jen...so I did. Her website is FANTASTIC for mom's in LA. Also, she is the mother of FIVE Boys...my god.
JEN'S LIST is a free daily e-mail newsletter and website and its basically a guide is the mom's guide to undiscovered and hot baby news and items. Great baby products, fun things to do for the family, and realistic things you can do and afford. Not quite like GOOP.COM, but not all of us are A list celebrities with a couple of mill in the bank. CHeck her website out. Here are some photos of her that I just took recently.

HAMPERS

Another thing that i have been looking for lately, is a good clean modern hamper. I have searched so many websites, and quite frankly, this is a good market to go into business. There was very little out there. I found these ones, and my favorite one is the grey one from cb2.com for $79.99. You can get it it by clicking on the title above.

The white one is from Kmart called Redmon Diamond Pattern Vinyl Hamper - White With Silver Trim and its $49.99. The dual colored one is from the Martha Steware Collection called "Closet Shop" Pop-Up Hamper for $29.99 at Kmart.com,a little conservative, but thought it was nice for a beach house. Finally the Whitney Designs Resin Wicker Hamper w/lid is from Sears and that one is only $29.

CRATE AND BARRELL'S PASTA BOWLS

I did an apt swap last month with a woman named Stefanie Karp who lives in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. She stayed at my place and she said she quite liked what I had done to the apt and she enjoyed her stay in LA. When I asked if there was anything that I could have done to the apt, she randomly said that I could use some good basic pasta bowls and some non-crystal wine glasses.
As soon as I could turn my computer on, I have been searching for the perfect white pasta bowl...villeroy and boch...cb2.com...conrans...martha stewart...mudd...but I have to say, the simple white bistro style bowls are what I liked the best with a rim. I found these at Crate and Barrell which is strange cause I never shop there but I like these ones. They are $8.95 each.

SHARON'S NEW KITCHEN

So, its been what now...three months since I checked in. I have been a bit preoccupied between my new photo business, going back and forth to New York, and redesigning my new kitchen. Its finally done and here are the photos. It probably took me about a year to decide what my budget was and the design that I could afford, but for under $10,000, this is what I came up with. (this includes the appliances!)
