Post-Holiday Recovery

I hope you all had the most wonderful holiday weekend! In addition to so many fantastic gifts, I also caught a nasty cold over the weekend. Ugh! All I want to do is cuddle up in bed and snooze away the day. This cozy bed belonging to Johanna of Vintage would have me cured in no time! What a beautiful photograph! ... View Post

Centsational Girl Holiday Tour

The remarkably talented Kate of Centsational Girl knows how to deck some halls! Every last detail here is just gorgeous. Simple, yet so elegant and tasteful...and full of lovely color. Have you ever seen such a pretty flocked tree?? I'm especially loving that fur-trimmed skirt underneath! For a look at the rest of her home and for info on everything, head over here! ... View Post

Bear-Hill Interiors

I feel so validated using and loving pink now that Pantone has selected it as the color of the year (not that I was shy about it before or anything)! This delightful home designed by Kevin Walsh of Bear-Hill Interiors and featured in At Home in Arkansas is such a good example of using bits and pieces here and there to update your space. I'm loving the capiz chandelier so much. What a great fit for that cool dining table! To read more about the serene space, head here. And check out the Bear-Hill ... View Post

Turquoise in SoHo

One of the neighborhoods we kept finding ourselves in while we were in New York was SoHo...so much going on there. I loved all the cute boutiques, including these turquoise head turners. Pearl River Mart had a lot of fun stuff, like the glowing turquoise Buddha I didn't know I needed. And just how awesome is that Tribeca Taco Truck?! I wish we had one of those in Minneapolis! ...

Sag Harbor Express

I love it when I'm walking down the street and run into something like this. The Sag Harbor Express has an adorable building on Main Street in Sag Harbor, New York with the cutest turquoise door and shutters. But right next door is the Kramoris Gallery with the juiciest lime green door. I wonder if they planned that because my oh my it looked gooood! ... View Post

Shinn Estate Farmhouse

During part of our 10 day stay in New York, Chris and I spent two nights on Long Island's North Fork, a lovely area filled with vineyards and cute little villages. I discovered the Shinn Estate Farmhouse in Mattituck when researching places to stay. Not your typical bed and breakfast, this place is seriously stylin'. Modern and elegant, I didn't see a granny floral print anywhere! This was our room above. The walls!! Cameras just don't capture how fab the color was. And the wooden floor was ... View Post

One Girl Cookies

This week I'm going to be sharing some highlights from my trip to New York, starting off with the culinary highlight: One Girl Cookies. This adorable artisanal bakery and cafe in Brooklyn was suggested to me by my reader Kara, who happens to be a food writer. Their entire space is filled with just the prettiest shade of turquoise. The cookies, cupcakes and baked goods were displayed so perfectly, everything smelled delicious, but I have to tell you, the chocolate cupcake I ate (with turquoise ... View Post
