Happy Weekend

This is so where I want to be spending the entire weekend.. by myself.. beside this pool.. under this umbrella..next to these flowers.. with a book in hand.  One can dream, right?

Pint Sized Perfection

Finally someone made adorable kids furniture that could meld right into a sophisticated adult household! I mean I'm all for some Ikea finds for kids but sometimes you could use a little grown up goodness in pint sized doses... thanks to Restoration Hardware!

At Home With Brooke Shields

I finally got around to peaking at my latest issue of Architectural Digest featuring the Manhattan townhouse belonging to Brooke Shields. Love the mix of light and dark.. those wood floors.. the heart artwork above the mantle...the deep soaking tub...fireplace in the kitchen...LOVE!

Arched Love

Now this is something I've yet seen anywhere..but I love it! So unique that the whole room follows the lines of the arched doors.

Thailand Treat

2012 seems to be starting out a bit on the chilly side so I'm loving this stunning pool featured in AD. How this Thailand treat warms me right up!

Black+White

A male client of mine really, really, really needs to change out his white cabinets for this look.  I think changing all the cabinets to black would be best but I'm all for compromise and this picture depicts a nice marriage between the two.

London's St. Pancras Renaissance

Anybody who really knows me knows that London is my 'favourite' city.  This particular hotel, St. Pancras Renaissance, is a restored 19th century gothic revival railway station hotel.  Originally built in 1873 as the Midland Grand Hotel this building adjoins the St. Pancras railway station. I think I could enjoy a stay here! Just like London, this hotel is a nice mix of old and new.

Office+Nature=Productivity

I love to see different work space design options and this one is by far the most connected to nature! I read about this space awhile back so I'm sorry to say I don't remember where this is located. This trumps the corner office with a view--the whole office gets a view!

Pink Treat

This absolutely adorable cake is really more of a spring post.. especially with Thanksgiving around the corner but I couldn't resist! Ombre can be seen all over in the design world--even food! I stumbled upon this post by Glorious Treats and thought of all my friends with little girls. This would make for one cute birthday cake! Imagine the gasps when you cut into this cake!

Lovely Table Design

Isn't this rustic table setting so interesting and perfect for fall?

Relaxing Outdoors...

I love nothing more than a blue, blue, blue pool.. so I really love this pool featured in Elle Decor at the home of Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor.
