Vermont!

Hello!

So I am STILL putting off posting pictures of my apartment and I am STILL putting off posting about the nursery I am working on, but that is only because I had the most spectacular weekend!!

My mom came into town last Wednesday which was so beyond fun - my mom hasn't been to the city since I moved here in February so it was really special to get to show her where I work and live.  Way fun.

While in the city, we went to Through the Looking Glass, the 9/11 Museum and had some fabulous meals out.  Cross Serafina and Eataly off my restaurant bucket list!

On Friday we went up to Albany, NY to stay with my grandparents and from there drove up to Stowe, Vermont for my childhood friend's wedding!  May I just say Vermont is everything I could hope it would be!  It felt like being up North in Minnesota, but with mountains!  Everything was super cute - I even found a cute boutique - Alpine Home - that had adorable antique finds from Europe and fabulous accessories!!  Here are some pictures!

I Need That Book! 

And That Book!  And the Plates!

The Cake Lithograph Was Stunning!

I promise I will eventually get around to sharing my apartment's progress and some of my design projects soon!

The Alpha Nut

I am the worst at updating you guys on what is going on in my own apartment, but I have decided to make at least one improvement a month!  Last month was the bedding, next month I am hoping to finally snag the shower curtain I have been eyeing from Anthropologie (more to come on the aggravating mission of finding the perfect statement curtain for the small bath!).

This month I had my Fashion Is Nuts - Alpha Nut poster by my favorite, Donald.  It was 24" x 35" - just shy of fitting into a standard frame!  After getting quotes online, I went with a little local shop down the street from me.  It took me a bit to accept that it wasn't worth paying more than double for a brass/bamboo frame.  Let's remind you - I am broke!  I went with the brass colored frame because the black option seemed too severe and silver and white did not seem like enough of a contrast.  I also liked the gold with the glitter in her necklace and I am personally shocked I don't have any brass yet in my apartment!

I dropped it off Saturday afternoon and was so happy to get it on my way home from work tonight!  I am stealing a nail from work tomorrow and will hang it centered over my dresser, which is across from my closets.  I no longer can get dressed without Anna giving me the once over.  I love it.

More to come soon, dying to share with you the nursery updates!

Poppin Ping Pong Party

Hello!

I know I say this all the time but what. a. week!  Crazy, crazy busy - but I love it!

Tuesday night I had an event at the Poppin showroom for Homepolish - they win my vote for best office design, hands down!

Their products all come in fun, playful colors and are brilliantly designed.  Their work stations are simple, adjustable and modern.  Their conference table doubles as a ping pong table.  If you weren't sold already, they can do the whole set up - desk, file, storage, chair for under $400.  Sorry Herman Miller.

Really wish I had known about Poppin when I did my office design project in school.  Although I only do residential work here in NYC, I think their desks, chairs, accessories and bright filing cabinets could go in a modern residential setting without a doubt.

If you are in interior design and do any office work go to their site now!  Overall, it was a really fun evening seeing everyone from Homepolish and getting to learn about the brand - thank you Poppin!!

Here are some pictures from the showroom, I am working on a very exciting nursery project and am planning to post on it this weekend!

Case of the Mondays

But really.  I would gladly accept $2 million.  Seriously long day.  Still up taking care of clients (it is almost midnight and I just want to watch the OC housewives), but I am so excited for an event I have tomorrow night at Poppin - post on that soon! 

Take Care,

I can't be bothered

This has been one hell of an exhausting week - and it is only Wednesday.  My client cancelled so I am taking full advantage of my hour of peace and bath time bliss...
