Surround yourself with things you love

    Yesterday, I was buzzing through the DVR because I had a stockpile of stuff to watch (while feeding the babe of course) and I came across a oprah rerun that showed Nate Berkus's pad in Chi-town. Right after I finished watching the segment, I felt so inspired and wanted to start seriously designing the spaces in my home + figure out what direction to go in for each room. We bought our town home a few months ago, and I have done things here and there, but haven't quite completed a room yet. So... I am going to get cracking on some idea boards of what I want to do - perhaps I will share some next week, stay tuned. (I do have a thing for Pottery Barn + Restoration Hardware but I don't want my home to feel like it is out of their catalog like the Friends episode with Rachel + Phoebe + the Apothecary table.)

    I love the way Nate blends modern + eclectic elements in his homes. The way he creates spaces of warmth + uses personal objects + items that have meaning to make a statement.

    This is his Chicago home:


    I love this photo wall in his bedroom - it looks so unplanned + cool.



    This is his home in NY that he renovated:

Stunning floating lights

    These beautiful lights are awesome, they float up in the sky for a light show that will oooh and ahhh I think just about anyone. I know that you can find them at wishes in the sky and Oh Happy Day had a great resource in the US. Thought they would be a great wedding idea for my cousin Crystal. Not sure about fire hazards though. Reminds me of the Chinese Lanterns that I loved so much during the Forth of July! found via Oh Happy Day and Domino Blog.

Folk art dolls

    These little wooden dolls by Alexander Girard are quite folky + modern. They are colorful, bright and playful and remind me of where I have just been in the Carribean. I saw them at Unica home - which I frequent online often, it is a great store for all things with a little modern edge.

I'm back, and currently I am...

    *going through my inbox (289)
    *listening to Hyacinths & Thistles by the 6ths.
    *watching Vienna find and rip up a magazine ( ahh! don't put it in your mouth.... )
    *drinking the rest of my breakfast - mango, strawberry smoothie
    *contemplating sorting the 3,000 + photos I took during my trip.
    *thinking of a new logo idea for a client
    *wondering about the long work day tomorrow + my babysitter being out of town
    *staring at my laundry pile, wishing I had Samantha's powers

10 + year commitment

    After much thought and consideration, and purchasing three sets of luggage to see which ones I liked best, the classic side of me won out. I decided to go with black luggage again, because well... black and me just get along. Why ruin the great relationship? I got the luggage below in 'all black' and I will snazz it up with cool luggage tags to identify them in a crowd.

luggage mania

    I am leaving this Saturday on a vaca and my luggage has had it. Ten years of traveling - time for them to retire, it has been well-used, and I don't think that it would be able to withhold another journey. I love the shop flight 001 - they have great travel gear. If I didn't have to worry about a budget, I think that I would consider these.

    this little yellow beauty is from smythson


    these are from katespade



    My last luggage pieces were black. Don't get me wrong, I love, love black but it seems that as I am waiting for it to come off the carousel, all I see is piece after piece of black luggage. But, is it good to blend in, so people don't get curious and steal your bag?


    (image from flickr)

    I tend to like classic luggage pieces that match, but lately, I've kind of been in a bold and abstract mood. I've seen these around, and I think they are kind of funky chic.
    this has aqua inside, and it is from Diane von Furstenberg.


    this one is from Orla Kiely

Gocco love

    Many things inspired me to purchase a Gocco press, including the last post of the beautiful sugarloop prints. So finally, this weekend I received mine! Needless to say, I have been printing up a storm this weekend. Printing some lovely wedding invitations I've been working on for my cousin.

    I am working on designing my studio/office, it is lots of fun. Have any great ideas/inspiration? I'd love to see! For starters, I got this white t chair from west elm, it is surprisingly comfortable.

a little modernity for your palette

    Owen + Vokes creates such amazing modern architectural works. I am always impressed and intrigued by such talented designers and architects from the land down under, because they have a certain style + grace + edgy sensibility that is hard to sum up in words. Although so called 'modern architectural style' has evolved over the years, to me, modern design feels clean, functional, fresh + hip.
