Words to Live By

23 Aug

My mom always had great quotes (thoughts, statements, mantras, etc.) to share with me when I was growing up. I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started seeing graphic quotes pop up on Pinterest (yes, I’m obsessed). Here are some of my favorite “words to live by” right now…

Amen, Kate Spade.

Always makes life more fun!

Tough, but true.

I remind myself every day...

Sometimes a plan isn't always the best plan.

I wish more people lived like this.

Be flexible!

Ghandi

Good reminders.

Ugh, so true!

Before and After – Chairloom

8 Feb

As soon as I signed the lease on my new apartment (I moved in last weekend – hooray!), I started looking for some new pieces of furniture. I found the chair below on Chairloom and immediately fell in love. I had been looking for a red chinoiserie chair, but I thought this black bamboo had great potential.

After days of debate I finally picked out a great fabric from Schumacher (High Voltage in Berry) and had Chairloom recover it. I am so thrilled with the outcome! It looks fabulous in my living room! Many thanks to Molly at Chairloom!

A Fabulous Night at Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams

4 Jan

On Wednesday, December 15th my friends at the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams store in Greenwich invited me to an event they co-hosted with Lonny Magazine. (To say I was excited would be a TOTAL understatement. It was a dream event – I LOVE MG and Lonny!) And, in all the craziness of the holiday season I never got a chance to post my photos from the FABULOUS evening.

Lonny Mag co-founders Michelle Adams and Patrick Cline

I had the great pleasure of meeting Mitchell Gold, as well as Lonny co-founders, Michelle Adams and Patrick Cline. And for a $50 donation to the local United Way chapter, Lonny contributor and watercolor extraordinaire, Cailtin McGauley, painted my portrait. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about the entire evening and everyone I met. Still swooning!

Notice the guy on the bottom left? That's Mitchell Gold!

Painted Ceilings

4 Jan

I have NO intention of painting my ceilings, but I’m drooling over these images from Apartment Therapy. Why don’t more people do this? Oh right, it’s a total pain in the ass. Too bad it looks fabulous.
