INSPIRATION
Inspiration comes all over, even when you’re not looking for it. Sometimes we forget to look down and we miss out on noteworthy details. I stumbled upon this great pattern while walking around, which reminded me to look up and down more often. Inspiration comes from all over- even when we’re not expecting it.
MAKING A STATEMENT
If you are looking for a way to make a statement, but are possibly afraid to make a huge commitment with your interior, how about painting your front door a bright color- like this vibrant yellow? Against the shingles in the soft gray and the architectural details, this really pops! What do you think? Too […]
AUTUMN SALAD
The weather has cooled down a bit and I was trying to come up with a new seasonal salad. This one is rather easy to whip together and the flavors pair quite nicely together. Autumn salad Fresh mint Pomegranate Fennel (2 bulbs) Lemon Garlic clove Salt and Pepper Olive oil Take the fennel […]
KNITTING
I was looking through some drawers a few weeks ago and I came across this pair of knitting needles that belonged to my grandmother. I have been looking for a new hobby – particularly one that would help me relax on evenings after work (wine always does the trick too, but this is fewer calories….) […]
REBEL
Who proclaimed the rule that you can’t wear white after Labor Day? I am not sure – but I decided to be a rebel last week with a new pair of white jeans. I know – I’m not exactly a revolutionary here. But it’s my own small personal rebellion. What do you think about […]
Kale, etc.
Remember how I said was only was sharing three photos from my trip to Maine? Well, I lied. This was also a favorite – but needed a post of its own. Kale. I know I have mentioned it more than a few times. It is certainly the veggie of the moment. But this stopped […]
Highlights from Maine
Here are a few photos from my trip to Maine – which was just a few weeks back, but already seems a distant memory. I won’t bore you with photo after photo – so here are my three favorites. How is that for editing?! I was totally inspired by the colorful buoys against the wooden […]
Practice Makes Perfect
Sometimes I make recipes that don’t turn out. This was the case a few weeks ago. I attempted to make crepes for dinner one night. I’m not really sure what went wrong, but let’s just say that the end result wasn’t anything that resembled a crepe. I’m happy that I tried again this weekend. Turns […]
Plans
We are working on a great new project – a refresh and slight remodel of a 1960’s style house. I love that my client is the second owner of the house and that the original blue prints and sketches of the house are all still around. It’s fascinating to study these drawings and […]
Maine
My bags are packed with a lot of black and white stripes for a week long visit with friends in Maine. I have been dreaming of this all summer long. It will be the first week of autumn. Maybe a little bit cooler at night? Maybe a little peek at the leaves beginning to change. […]
