on the road

"What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? --it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."

needlepoint

Jonathan Adler makes needlepoint look so simple.

My project started months ago, a 20 x 20 pillow with an exaggerated houndstooth print. This process is taking longer then I expected. The art of being patient is taking over my life.

aging in place

Aging in place is a beautiful thing. We don't get stuck, we just get comfortable.

Sometimes it's nice to look at your home with fresh eyes, and re-evaluate the way you live.

Madewell's spring essentials

Madewell has become my go to for inspiration on a relaxed tailored style.

The heat has officially hit and these have become my latest essentials.

oxford

double dutch

hole punch

start from scratch

Start new, start fresh, tear away the frills and get back to basics.

I don't consider myself a minimalist, but I love basic meaningful pieces. Items we use everyday streamlined to the core. Form following function through every object in every aspect of your life.

clean those dishes

My love for dishes has shed a new light on this perfect blank canvas.

Creativity is open through the use of color, pattern, and shape.

A simple utilitarian piece can be transformed into a work of art.

Happy Birthday Mies!

"Less is More" - Ludmig Mies van der Rohe

No truer words have been spoken, he changed the way we look design today.

spring fling

I'm having a spring fling with peter pan collars and ruffle hems.

Winter is officially over and as much as I adore my coats, I'm loving my collars even more.
