Wait! I know what you’re thinking. No, this is not a clothing or fashion related blog – it’s a furniture, home decor one! BUT, I must share Taylor’s Closet with you. It’s a beautiful organization started by a 14-year-old girl, Lindsay, that gives brand new, donated designer clothes to girls in the South Florida foster care system in a gorgeously renovated, donated building for FREE! You can totally re-read that sentence if you need to… pretty remarkable, isn’t it? I had the privilege of helping decorate this gorgeous donated building and am excited to share some of the finished photos with you. I worked with Lindsay (Taylor’s Closet Founder), Linda (Lindsay’s mom & Taylor’s Closet Executive Director) & Shannon (Taylor’s Closet Designer & Artist)… super fun group of women to decorate with! They are all Anthropologie-and-Urban-Outfitters-loving women like me!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this project. Not to mention the greater good in it all – helping to love on precious foster girls!

The blog world is very forgiving… I’ve been MIA (missing in action) for a whole week now. I’ll spare you the details, but will highly recommend this: a weekend get-a-way minus the kids. Just want the doctor would prescribe, I imagine! My spontaneous husband decides Saturday at 1pm that we should go to NYC & at 5:25pm we fly over flat Florida towards our beloved Manhattan. Thank God for credit cards. Don’t do it every weekend, but at least once, DO it. Thanks to Twitter & various tech people we ended up at The Roger Smith Hotel. Budget friendly, nicely located. No, we didn’t run into Mark Zuckerberg (creator of Facebook) or Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple), but we would’ve loved to. The word “tech” to my husband is like the word “decor” for me… explains why he picked this hotel. Altogether good experience though. Only one complaint which you’ll read in my “Dislikes” list…

So, my “local” category needed some attention… hence this post! Let me introduce you to “Jane’s Furniture Divas”. Formerly known as “Jane Loves Cheap Furniture”. Owned & run by two savvy ladies named Jackie & Cricket – oh wait, with a bit of help from Bella the cat & Charlie the fish, of course! Located in Lake Worth, Florida. About 15 minutes south of the famous West Palm Beach (remember, where the Williams sisters live?)… I gotta find another celebrity that livest there too – I could say Donald Trump, but he has property everywhere so he doesn’t count. In case you’re wondering Jane was Jackie’s mom. She & Jackie opened “Jane Loves Cheap Furniture” 16 years ago. Jane passed about 2 years ago, but her memory lives on in a fun, furniture-shop sort of way. Today Jackie & Cricket keep Jane’s furniture redo dreams alive. Way to go girls!

On of my favorite places to treasure hunt! Official name is: Allison’s Adam & Eve Architectural Salvage. Located in West Palm Beach, Florida – where the famous Williams sisters get to call home, a fun fact for you. I thought Tiger Woods lived there too, but he’s over closer to Orlando. Florida’s so BIG! If you do live in Florida & ever get to go to Adam & Eve’s ask for Paul, tell him you know Fern.
