Brooklyn Heights

I had the privilege to work on a photoshoot for this home today--a renovated carriage house in Brooklyn Heights. It was was so functional, so quirky, and so spacious...really, such a joy to be in. I was with a wonderful team and was happy to be a part of the project!

Love. This. Room.

I especially like the bookshelf--the books are facing outwards, as if on display. And why not show off your books? They each become a little piece of art.

Am loving the book; can't wait for the movie. 

I ♥ butter.

Breath of Fresh (Mountain) Air

Taking a little break in the mountains for a few days and feeling the full effects of R&R.

It. Is. Wonderful.

Brooklynware

I love the Brooklyn pattern on this dinnerware!

Really, though--who knew salt & pepper shakers could be so cute?

Etsy!

Etsy has quickly become a fabulous site to buy, sell, and simply browse all things handmade. I now have some of my original prints up for sale at my very own Etsy site, and I'm pretty darn excited about it. Feel free to check it out!

Small Style

This small* 60-square-foot kitchen was recently featured in House Beautiful and I absolutely adore it. 

Refrigerator and freezer "drawers" were used instead of standard units and all the appliances appear to be a bit scaled down. The whole point is for the kitchen to be cozy and efficient. Mission accomplished. I love it. You can read the full article here. 

*Small by House Beautiful standards; Large by my NYC kitchenette standards.

PS...

I did NOT attempt the bridge the way the previous picture illustrates!

Brooklyn Bridge

I ran across the Brooklyn Bridge today for an early morning workout--I felt part of a huge, overwhelming, magnificent city.

My love for Brooklyn & NYC is constantly being renewed.

Blank Canvas

Great foundation; room for change... This is why I love eBay. I'm longing to bid on some (affordable!) pieces and give them an update--fresh paint, new upholstery.

If only I had the square-footage to actually keep them.

Camera Happy

Great workday today.

The colors--or perhaps the camera!--in this picture make me smile.

A Little Bit Rustic

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend full of family, friends, fireworks and--of course--food!

Here's what my fourth of July consisted of: a trip to the Farmer's Market followed by a picnic in the park.

Not bad for a city girl.
