Today, I’m kicking off “everybody’s favorite everything” – a new little series in honor of my new blog design! Given that this series is copied from inspired by a House Beautiful article from mid-2009, let me also borrow HB’s words to explain: “Interior designers have strong opinions on everything. Clocks, candles, glasses, cleaning supplies — these are the little things they can’t live without.”
In my version of the series, I’ve asked my favorite designers and design bloggers to share their little favorites … in hopes that you and I might just discover a new favorite of our own! First up is the delightful Sarah – better known to some of you as MoS Charlotte from Matters of Style (and Matters of Style Marketplace). Not only is Matters of Style a must-read, but Sarah has quickly become one of my blog besties. She and I may or may not have an amazing adventure coming up at the end of April … but you’ll have to wait to hear more about that! Sarah is also expecting a precious little one, and – given that she lives, oh, about a mile or so from my house – I’m hoping to get my baby fix over her way! But enough of my ramblings – let’s get on to Sarah’s favorites!

How fun was that? As much as I love all of Sarah’s choices, I must admit the thought of good barbecue is making it hard to concentrate on design. Is it lunch time yet? Pass the hush puppies!!
