I am so missing Paris right now.. I love to visit in the spring! I have had many emails as of late asking to share my favorite places in Paris and France so I thought that I would put together a post this coming week with all of the things that make Paris my favorite city.
I would love to have you share your favorites too! I am sure those who are traveling this coming year would like a glimpse into what makes the city so special to so many people.
Wishing you a dream filled Saturday!
These are the sweet treats that my hubby brought me back from his trip just a few short weeks ago.
Love Laduree....

How amazing is this Manhattan home of the Chief Creative Officer at Ralph Lauren? It is so very manly and I love the mix of vintage and new. The tolix chairs alone make the space for me.
What do you have planned for this weekend? I am taking a well needed break from work and activities for a little relaxing time at home.

These things are totally not related.. I love the vibrant green in this outdoor space. We are searching for the perfect hedge for our yard and this picture caught my eye. Any hedge suggestions are welcome!
I was at the design center yesterday pulling some fabrics for a job and had a chance to see the new line from Kelly Wearstler for Lee Jofa- love these! It is nice to see some new fabrics. I also had a chance to see the new pieces from Windsor Smith which are also fantastic.
Wishing you a great start to the end of the week!

I saw these and was immediately in love- this is some amazing talent!
I have a presentation today and then it is back to the ordering grind for ongoing projects. I wish I felt like I was moving forward but I am not sure if I am really getting anywhere anymore.
Tomorrow I will share with you a little bit of what I have been up to and I am hoping to get to share some great new books that I have discovered too!
Wishing you a lovely Wednesday.

This is a problem.. I am completely obsessed with totes and bags.. I was flipping through the new issue of
Souvenir magazine and was clicking through on products that I liked, once I finished the magazine I realized that I had linked up to multiple websites, but each link was for a different bag. So I guess I am obsessed just a little!! I have bags everywhere in the house, I have woven bags holding my bath towels, picnic supplies, fabric samples- you name it! I like woven, vintage, linen, pretty much anything that would carry goodies home from any kind of store or hold things at home, but I truly love to use them at the flea market and farmer's market- it feels great to come home without a single plastic bag wrapped around my goodies.
Do you love them like I do- have I lost my mind (don't answer that one)!?

Oh how is it Monday once again?? What I would not give to have a (clean) office that is this fabulous! Today is the day to get my ducks back into rows and get moving forward. Last week seemed to fly past me like a freight train, so please forgive any unanswered emails or phone calls. I have a new intern starting today and I am hopeful she can get me back on track here!
Wishing you a wonderful day of taking care of business!

This is such a great example of a more modern take on the grey washed look in the kitchen. I love love that refridge but I am sure that I am not organized enough to have everyone see my food all of the time.
I love the marble though it makes such a clean look.

I am so glad for the weekend, although I won't be resting too much, I like the idea of it. Just a little vintage chic inspiration here..
I received a sweet comment on the blog that made me think about somethings I had planned for this year in blogging. I wanted to share more of my personal projects with you here, more of what truly inspires me to design in my own home, is that of interest to you my readers? This year looks to be really great for getting some of the personal projects I have been planning actually done, making them so much more fun to share!
Have a great relaxing Saturday - it's always nice to spend a day doing things for yourself right?

I must be needing soft lighting and relaxed spaces right now as that seems to be what I am most drawn to.
We have another busy weekend planned - how about you? Any time to relax and take in the beautiful weather?

I always love the images from Tine K home. They are so relaxing and serene, that is just what I need at this point in the week!
Wishing you a wonderful Thursday filled with accomplishments so that you can leisurely cruise through your Friday and on into the weekend!

I have spent the past few weeks dreaming about what Spring could bring and what I would like to see in our future garden. I am meeting with our Landscape Architect late this week to see if we can plan out all of the fantastic things we want to do. I adore the iron doors and windows in the first two images (the first one is Merci in Paris) I would love a pair where the window now is in my dining room, with Wisteria trailing above a seating area and a small fountain. Hydrangea are my FAVORITE flower in the world and I need to have those in various locations so they are a must. But the rest is pretty up in the air, we love fruit trees and have a few that were here when we arrived that we would like to keep. There is to be a pool and hopefully a small pool house. I cannot wait to get it all down on paper to see if it is even possible and then start tackling it piece by piece.
What are your favorite garden elements- any recommendations?

Life is in the details... These vintage details are so sweet and telling about the collector. That is the one thing about design that can be the hardest is to help clients add and arrange their own "details". I love real details things that are collected and meaningful. These are the things that truly make the home a special place, a place full of memories and special moments.
Just a little reminder to remember the details...

Over the weekend I installed the new art pieces in my dining room and I adore them! Sometimes I wonder why I wait so long to make a decision, it only took me 6 months to decided that these were what I wanted. I should have purchased them the first time I saw them.
Are you an impulse buyer? or do you take a long time to make decisions?
For me it depends on the piece... but usually when I see something I want I know if it is going to work...
(I just got an iphone which I absolutely love..this is an Instagram pic)

Okay now this kitchen contains a few of my favorites.. lots of light, concrete sink and counters with white cabinets. Another contender in my list of favorites. What do you think? I am curious does anyone have concrete counters in their house? How do you like them? I love how these are thin and simple with a small back splash.
Thank you to Betsy who had more information on the kitchen pictured... this product is
Fireslate which is a combination of cement, silica and other items... kinda cool.

My husband is in Paris today with out me... very sad I know.. I have sent him to my favorite places to eat, sleep and shop in hopes that he will have a nice time and bring me home something extra sweet. I am super jealous and wish I was there with him!
What are your plans for the weekend? Jetting off to a beautiful foreign city? Any plans for St. Patrick's day?
