Yesterday I was on the phone with one of my girlfriends discussing the house that she will be closing on next month. We started dreaming about decorating the house with pops of blue scattered throughout.  Certain shades of blue such as Tiffany, robin’s-egg, and lapis add a certain subconciousness of elegance to a home setting. [...]

At last month’s New York International Gift Fair, Jonathan Adler introduced a new branch of his colorful tree of home goods, Jonathan Adler Junior.  I think so many of the pieces in Adler’s big-people lines can be used for rooms appealing to all ages, such as the above Mrs. Godfrey Chair (I can see it [...]

Curling up on the sofa in midwinter to watch the Olympics is something that I have looked forward to since I was a wee thing in Wisconsin.  Football has ended, seasonal parties have settled to a low hum (wasn’t there a time when they took a break?), and staying in front of a fire is [...]

Wine and Design was so much fun that we went well past the scheduled end at 8:30.  It was a comfortably intimate evening filled with talented artists and designers and “people who love them”, to quote the Free Times blurb that came out last week.

My head is spinning!

It’s been a little bit silent over here for a few days.  Why? Because apparently the South Carolina crew who went up to New York turned into snow queens and kings, but more on that later. After a fabulous cocktail hour-or-two with Amy Beth Cupp Dragoo and Kelsey Banfield, they were kind enough to walk [...]

I’ve decided to keep an active log of my trip here, just in case I get lost in the snow tomorrow (the bartender downstairs is saying I’m not likely to get home before SATURDAY).  It’s been a wonderful day thus far.  The flight from Columbia somehow managed to land an unprecedented 45 minutes early. Who [...]

Posting a little later than usual today.  My productivity has been significantly slowed by Mr. M, who significantly freaked me out this morning by calling me to let me know that New York will be the proud recipient of another snow storm on Wednesday.  I had just come from a wonderful facial at StaceyO StudiO, [...]
