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…

18 MayHere is a peek at the things that get my heart racing on Pinterest right now…
Loving Rue
22 MarI’m totally in love with the newest issue of Rue Magazine. So many great ideas and beautiful photos. Here are some of my fave’s…
This issue also featured a sneak preview of the new Kate Spade bedding collection. I think this video of the photo shoot is adorable!
Paris vs. NYC
1 MarEvery once in a while I come across something so clever and fabulous I giggle out loud with delight. This happened tonight when I came across the amazing blog, Paris vs. New York (found via For the Love of Design). See for yourself below. The posters are available online here.
Before and After – Chairloom
8 FebAs 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 JanOn 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.
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!
Painted Ceilings
4 JanI 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.
