Thank You, Please Come Again

Pin It now! I've had a few really good Etsy finds lately.  My favorite are the prints in the kitchen and entryway.  Michael thought of a funny saying from the Simpsons, which is perfect as a goodbye next to the front door, and Bird Ave was wonderful at customizing color and text.  She even sent different proofs before making the actual prints.  I chose Brooklyn prints (of course), but the shop has a huge selection of other cities and towns.  I snatched up the water tower print as soon as I saw it.  I'm loving the combination of colors, especially with our new console table. 

So entryway....check.  My next part of the house that I want to reconsider is the living room console table and art.  It's lacking personality and as Vern Yip said in a recent episode of Design Star, "It looks like the accessories are from a boring discount store" (or something to that effect).  Ouch, time for a redesign.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Lately

Pin It now! Sorry everyone, I was gone for the last few weeks (if you didn't already notice!).  I was overwhelmed and unmotivated, a terrible combination for someone who blogs.  I kept reading through other blogs that are over the top fabulous and I wanted to be just as creative, but everything I put together seemed blah and forced.  I felt like I lacked direction, so I stopped writing (to spare you too!).  I'm back, I think...Let's just get back to what I know and like to do and not care how pretty it's all supposed to be because at the end, what you love is what is best.

So what's been happening lately... Kentucky Derby at Maison Premiere, our ridiculously relaxing vaca in the Dominican Republic, BBQs, wonderfully hot days for the Memorial Day weekend, the best fried chicken dinner at Brooklyn Star, Madison Square Eats, having my semi-homeless sister as a house guest for a couple of weeks, finally putting up the perfect Etsy Brooklyn prints in the entryway, two weddings in Long Island, Cafeteria with Alysse, Turkish with the NJ girls, less buying and more spring cleaning, and saying good-bye to the house we grew up in.

the ring bearer bowls that paloma's nest has are absolutely fabulous. they're the modern version of the ring pillow, and are such a beautiful keepsake. it's definitely on my wishlist.
