Nature
I recently snapped this photo as I loved the stunning quartz crystals (they are huge!) with the freshly picked lemons. What a simple but elegant setting for a table! What do you think about the combination?
Nipped and Tucked
I really must confess: recently, I had some “work” done. It’s entirely subtle and natural-looking. Some people have already commented that it’s hardly noticeable – but it was certainly needed. Why did I do it? I really wanted to highlight some of my best features. If you haven’t figured it out yet: my body has […]
Details
I was re-watching a favorite the other day: Harold and Maude. I think that Harold’s mother has the best hat ever – look at the Greek key detailing!
Tulips, part two
Fresh flowers, yeah yeah, I mentioned a few weeks back that just picking up a bunch at your local grocery store can really brighten up a space. With tulips especially, I love watching them go through all of the phases. This bunch was almost on the way out to the compost bin, but I just […]
Colorful bistro
Who knew you could have Bistro chairs in so many colors? At recent trip to Flora Grubb, I was amazed at all of the color options. You could really spice up your exterior seating with these great colors- or even your interior with adding some color to your breakfast room chairs. What do you think? […]
What I am reading

Grace Coddington’s extraordinary talent and fierce dedication to her work as creative director of Vogue have made her an international icon. Known through much of her career only to those behind the scenes, she […]
Cashmere
Look at all of these yummy hues of cashmere! We are having a hard time selecting amongst all the great colors. A throw over a sofa or chair or at the foot of a bed is always a great accent. Adds a pop of color, exquisite texture and luxuriousness all in one. What are your […]
Sunset
A moment captured in time. I loved the way the light was setting on this sconce in my dining room. The sconce (actually a pair) is an antique door knocker that was wired for lighting. I picked these up a few years ago in Paris and I am so glad that I didn’t let them […]
Flowers
These lovely tulips with the variegated pink and white petals are really freshening up my living room this week. They are just from my local grocery store a block away. Pick up a bunch the next time you are at your local store just to brighten up your space!
Stop
This is the view from my bedroom window. It might not look like much. But to me it is so graphic. I love the bold red and white against the grays of the sidewalk and the street pavement. I like to think of the stop sign being there just for me, as a reminder to […]
