Cocktails with Style

One of my favorite Sunday evening rituals involves watching the latest episode of Mad Men. There are so many aspects of this show that make that bygone era so alluring, but for now, let’s focus on one. The omni-present bar cart. Don Draper never seems more than a few steps from a fully stocked bar. Picture a pretty crystal ice bucket, always full of fresh cubes, fun cocktail glasses and a large assortment of bottles of all shapes, colors and sizes just awaiting your concoction. This isn’t just about promoting reckless drinking at all hours of the day, but everyone…

Calgon Take me Away

After having a somewhat frenzied week of back to school and assorted fall start-up madness, I am finding myself dreaming of a few stolen moments to myself.

One of those was a comment made by Julianne Moore a new landscape designer suggesting the design concept of a…

Love at First Sight

You MUST read this article in New England Home and look at some of the divine photos from this lovely remodeled home on the Island of my dreams (a.k.a Nantucket). Photo: Michael Partenio There is so much I love about this space. The pastel Windsor chair, the interesting textiles on the pillows, That GORGEOUS Island light streaming, the freshly plucked hydrangeas, and of course the darling built-ins that I can olny imagine are full of…

Do you have a case of the Mondays?

On a cloudy Seattle Monday, I’m finding myself a little obsessed with this color drenched breakfast nook, that I came across while reading a wonderful fellow blogger’s, page: House of Turqouise This tart design is Diamond Barata’s. Check out the portfolio. It’s pretty much to die for…http://www.diamondbarattadesign.com/portfolio.php Hope this helps with your “Mondays”
