lost bird found


sara jensen and her husband thor of lost bird found have a beatiful home in astoria, ny. i wanted to end today on a colorful note so i thought their beautiful green bedroom (with touches of bright orange) would be perfect. sara was the designer behind the popular pomegranite pouches at dec’s d*s shop and she continues to produce through her studio, lost bird found. you can click here for larger (and many extra) photos of sara and thor’s lovely home in astoria.

“First I have to say that we are struggling with the fact that we have wood paneling, I almost didnt move in to this apartment when my husband was just my boyfriend because of the wood paneling! Thor’s favorite color is bright green, he painted the bedroom before I moved in. He says it stays. I say okay. Its grown on me. The orange dresser was originally a white dresser that had been up at my lakehouse. I brought it back while I was still living in Boston and painted it orange. I guess we dont buy into the mellow bedroom colors.”

sorry, i’m not the biggest fan of the sneak peeks into designers’ homes. if there are going to be so many of them maybe they could be moved to their own link like the “women to watch” or “around the web” off to the side of the blog.

i sort of agree with above about the sneak peeks. i absolutely love them, but it is feeling like too much for everyday.
maybe they could be limited to being featured one or two special days a week? i would enjoy a little more anticipation.

That’s amazing! When I bought this duvet set I hadn’t seen it anywhere else. Now I’ve seen it in three separate publications. I must have good taste.
