The Art of Transportation

These pieces of art are based on vintage New York subway posters. Part industrial; part nostalgic--I love the aesthetic and the thought behind this piece of work.

City Life

Thank you, Rain, for holding out! I was able to head to D.U.M.B.O. tonight with mon petit ami for the outdoor movie overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. It was a gorgeous night.

Okay, so it was more about the bridge & skyline than the movie itself. But with some wine, some friends, and a whole lot of view, you can't blame me...

Outdoor Living

Why, yes! I would like (okay, love) an outdoor space. In fact, any of these would work out just fine, thank you very much.

Let the dreamin' continue.

Beach Effect

Ahhhhh.

The laziness of my week at the beach is still lingering and I'm feeling the full effects of summer. I know it won't be here for much longer, so I'm simply enjoying it while I can. I hope you are too!

Gone to the Beach

Will be back soon. One of these days. But that's what vacations are for--not quite knowing which day it actually is...

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.

Feeling Inspired

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.
