Young House Love » Shopping & Thrifting » The (Joss &) Main Event

| By Sherry Petersik | October 4, 2011 | 245 Comments

The (Joss &) Main Event

So… our afternoon post is a few hours early. Surprise! Fancy meeting you here. Anyway, after teaming up with Joss & Main on one of our most entered giveaways (apparently you guys love you some Joss & Main), they asked us if we’d be interested in curating a sale event over on their site. Which essentially entailed doing some virtual window shopping (sifting through hundreds of items in their database) and telling them everything that we loved, which would then make up a “Young House Love collection” over on their site.

Uh. Let me think about it. YESSSSSSS!

Joss Main Collage

Never in a million years did we think that the title of “curator” would ever be used to describe us. Except maybe Curator Of Too Many Pins On Pinterest for me and Curator Of Too Many Soda T-shirts for John. Of course we screamed yes while holding hands and jumping up and down calmly told them we were game as any proper “curator” would do, and promptly called our parents to beg them to buy something small, like it was some elementary school bake sale that we were worried would flop.

But seriously, getting the opportunity to open up a little virtual decor store of sorts over there for the next 72 hours is the stuff of dreams for me (which usually also involve Nate Berkus, Eric Northman, and fried oreos). And although we didn’t set the prices ourselves, we did our best to find a variety of items in a nice wide price range (from under-$25 accessories to $250+ furnishings). So without further ado, here’s just a part of our little collection that you can find over at Joss & Main through October 6th (there’s a lot more over there). If you’re not already a member, just click here for an instant invite (so you don’t get wait-listed). Then you can find your way to the sale by clicking here:

Joss And Main Board

Oh and because we like to be 100% transparent with you guys, it’s Joss & Main’s protocol to offer a small commission to the folks who curate sales on their site (and a small referral fee, which is actually available to any Joss & Main member). So it’s just like any other side gig that helps pay the bills, like writing magazine columns or our book (more on those here) except more fun. Way more fun. Speaking of fun, what would you select if you could “curate” your own collection? Typographic prints & maps? Punchy fabrics a la Amy Butler? Faux books & magnifying glasses like the “Library Decor” section at HomeGoods?

HGoods Library Decor

Oh man, that picture never fails to crack me up. Yes ladies, that man is all mine.

      I was also wondering about the green in the curtains, so I googled it and came up with this:

      http://www.tots2teenszone.com/item_5053/Princess-Green-Window-Curtain-Panel-Set-of-2-by-JoJo-Designs.htm

      I think there is a minty green “ruffle” at the bottom. Not sure if I like them now…but the rest of the items are awesome! Good for you guys!

      October 4, 2011 at 1:02 pm

      Hmm- I wonder if the curtains don’t have the ruffle (since it’s never shown on them) but the colors of other items in the collection have green on them so it’s listed as the default color info for that line? Not sure!

    For the record, a “gurgle jug” (just like the one pictured in your collection) was given to us as a wedding gift. To this day, it goes on our list as one of our stragest wedding gifts! Although, in respect to its “giver” it is actually soemthing really sought after in the New England area. Just goes to prove how un-cultured we are! Also, did you know that it literally gurgles as it pours…makes me laugh every time we break it out and always makes for a great conversation piece! Great pick!

    When you mentioned this event I got SO excited. I joined Joss&Main after your original giveaway and could look through their collections all day long. I’m happy to report I got a preview email last night for being a member and you guys were right on top! I look forward to look at your collection all day long…for the next 3 days. Congrats! :) Also…strange dream involving me, Sherry, and picking up a cool old window from the side of the road in the rain yesterday. Too much YHL/Pinterest? Nahh…

    Signs you spend too much time on pinterest: you read “Pinecrest Sofa Table” as “Pinterest Sofa Table” and think nothing of the fact that there is a table named after pinterest. Sigh.

    I love the collection – congrats!!

      That is mainly hilarious because someone on my facebook was going to a “Pinecrest Choral Event” and I said to them, “THERE’S A PINTEREST EVENT!” ohhh man.

    Haha! I actually received one of those “gurgling cod” pitchers for a wedding present 11 years ago. I remember my husband and I staring at it in equal parts fascination and horror (I was the fascination, he was the horror). I am going to have to tell hubby that the gurgling cod is “in” now, unearth it from the wedding present box of shame (AKA the back of the china cabinet) and put it on display. Mwahaha.

    That cobalt blue is my favorite color and I love the look of the fish, which is why it has never been relegated to some charity donation despite hubby’s redubbing of it as the “regurgitating cod.”

      Haha- that’s so funny! We just learned that it gurgled and it made me love it more! I love my whistling tea kettle, so why not a gurgling fish? Haha.

    Total love! Pretty much wanted all of it! Planning on trying to convince the hubs I need an early Christmas gift. He is going to get tired of me talking about you guys. He rolls his eyes when I start a sentance with, “on this blog I read, you know the one that is my favorite..” because he knows I have and idea and its going to cost him money.
