Catching up … and a new addiction

Happy New Year! (Um, 22 days late …. sorry!) Where has this month gone? Buried is the catchphrase for this month … I feel like we’ve been buried in snow and buried in work. Lots of new client deliveries that have come in after the lull of the holidays and lots of new projects too. This is the time of year when we’ve all been inside so much that we can’t help but look around our homes and get an itch to make some changes, right?

One thing we finally got up and running is a Swoon Interiors Instagram account! We are still in the process of working on a new website design (if we could ever find the extra hours to focus more time on it … ) and this will be a cool part of the site. But for now, if you’re curious about the little day to day things we do and things that inspire us, be sure to follow swooninteriors.

So have you heard of the newly launched Hunter’s Alley? Just in case you don’t already spend enough time on Pinterest, Houzz, Keep, and One Kings Lane … here is a new place to spend all your extra time (and $$$)! (Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

Hunter’s Alley is from the team behind One Kings Lane … think Craigslist’s fun, worldly and glamorous little sister. Hunter’s Alley features a great selection of one-of-a-kind, pre-owned decor, some vintage, some handmade and some contemporary. And unlike sites like Craigslist, where buying and selling your things can be a pain and you have to sift through a lot of junk to find the good stuff, every item on Hunters Alley is vetted, ensuring that you’re seeing only the best items.

I like how the site also showcases the sellers … you get a little peek into their personalities and sometimes a good story on their items for sale. Shoppers can comment, “heart” the items they love, and see what other people are obsessing over.

Here are a few of my “hearts” …
