Pale & Interesting: Light, Bright, & Textural Home Goods Store Profile


MP Icon.jpgSpecialty: Shabby chic decor

Price Range: ($$$) High-End

As much as we love color, there's something intriguing about a simple palette of pales. Instead of the loud statement of brights, you get the subtle song of texture and detail. With that in mind, husband and wife team Dave Coote and Atlanta Bartlett bring their signature shabby chic style to their own shop.

Pale & Interesting is a boutique that highlights covetable home goods from across the pond. From worn cupboards to fuzzy mohair throws and mercury glass pendants, a warm and welcoming home comes from things that invite touch. With Atlanta's stylist experience and Dave's eye for furniture design, their easy and distressed look translates to create wonderfully collected spaces. As you browse the site, you may recognize some pieces; much of the inventory can be seen in the pair's style book of the same name. Whether you're a pale perfectionist or just looking to add some interest to a room, Pale & Interesting is worth a peek.

Hey Big Spender: Discretionary Durable Goods Orders January 2011

Today’s Durable Goods Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories and Orders report indicated that total new orders increased 2.7% from December to $200.5 billion while excluding transportation, new orders declined 3.6% to $150,092 billion.

Stripping durable goods orders of defense orders AND non-defense aircraft orders yields an effective measure of orders coming as a direct result of typical discretionary consumer durable goods spending on items such as motor vehicles, furniture, consumer electronic devices and home appliances.

Looking at the latest release, "discretionary" durable goods orders declined 2.02% since December but still remaining 9.03% above the level seen in January 2010.
