I was planning on a St. Patrick’s Day Tablescape style shoot yesterday… but alas… I was left waiting for a delivery that never quite delivered.

So instead, I hit up the store opening of Hammer and Spear last night and I have to say… BEST NEW STORE I’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!

I’ll have the full post for you next week.

In the meantime, I’ll whet your appetite with some pics of owners Kristan and Scott’s home renovations. The most amazing feat? A kitchen makeover with a budget of $1000! Get the full details here

I’m also kind of crushing on this couple. Sweet, stylish and succesful… I kind of want to be their new best friend and hang out at all the cool spots downtown ;).
