I'm a book cover designer and art director based in New York and New Mexico. I've been blogging about home renovation, interiors, graphic design, DIY, food, cosmetics, dogs, art, music, books, and life in general since 1998. I could really use a cup of coffee right now.
Actually, none of my finds are from NYC! The secret to good scavenging is to hit the thrifts and antique stores and yard sales (and Craigslist) everywhere else, where there’s less competition.
theonly: We have a car. It’s not necessary for commuting to Manhattan from Newburgh, but it’s absolutely necessary for everything else (grocery shopping, etc.). I don’t have a license, though (I’ve actually never driven), so my husband does all the driving.

I hope you post some of those good finds so I can continue to be envious of your proximity to NYC and all of the great shopping there!

But yes, photos to come. 🙂
Can’t believe it’s September! Where did summer go??
I can’t wait to see the design gems you came across this weekend!
i love pictures taken in the dark!
How do you get things like this home? Do you rent a Zipcar? Or do you find it’s necessary to own a car in Newburgh?
