A little birdy told me that a set of identical 16 month old twin girls are flapping their wings and heading south. They are moving their nest from the bustling upper west side to the suburbs of New Jersey. While their parents have been busy packing I have been scouting for a few new things to […]
Do you have a sous chef at your house? I have a little boy at my side with a zest for cooking up things. I say things because though they are done with passion; I can’t really give the dishes a name. At best, I would call them “mish mash” soup. When the eyes in […]
80% is probably how much I slowed my car down at the stop sign (and therefore got a ticket). 80% is how much of the clean laundry goes back in the drawers. 80% is how much of my girls’ meals land on the floor. And 80% is probably how much I actually properly recycle. So as […]
My birthday celebration continued with a little trip to Paris with all it’s fabulous cuisine, art and shopping. OK, so I didn’t really go to Paris but my soul did. My husband and I had a wonder day which started at Bistro Moderne. My husband was going to surprise me with this treat but always […]

While searching for great mobiles made from pinwheels, I found some wonderful art by these simple whirlygigs. The above by Petit Collage was printed on maple veneer and is sure to make you smile.
My son brought home a sweet pinwheel from school last week. Again such a simple thing that gives so much pleasure. And they make great mobiles too. The two above are fantastic! Whether done with paper or fabric they don’t seem too complicated. There’s a great tutorial here if you are the DIY type. Mamax […]
To me; parenthood doesn’t get much better than this. The above is sweet drawing I found on flickr; when looking for my usual Friday find. I stopped at this even though it doesn’t have to do with interior design. It’s just reminded me to slow down a little. I try to get my gang out […]
My client’s daughter recently asked for a turquoise room. Her mom was skeptical at first, wondering how turquoise would fit into their beautiful historical home. But like most moms, she decided that she was going to let her daughter have this one…not every battle is worth having! After all, paint is the easiest of all […]
