    Happy Friday – Just some pretty eye candy for you!

    I thought I’d keep it light and easy today in celebration of it being Friday. The forecast calls for rain but I’m hoping the my weather widget is broken!

    I think this idea is so creative but I didn’t label it and don’t remember where I found it . If you know the source please comment!

    Love the fern couch

    I don’t remember where these are from either – sorry!

    This treatment would look great in my mom’s country house windows. Simple linen curtains, some of the bottles from her collection, and wildflowers from her garden. I actually did something like this in her kitchen window this summer…you can see it in the post Pretty and Delicious.

    This Gothic window frame is so gorgeous as a wall hanging

    My friend’s NYC apartment

    I used to work with my friend Alexis Tirado at Martha, where she is an online editor for the Radio department. She dwells on the Lower East Side and wanted to go for a hipster/nautical theme. Thanks Alexis for taking and sending all these photos!

  • A refreshing spin on vinyl wall decor

    A refreshing spin on vinyl wall decor

    It’s shameful that I’m just showing this to you guys as I was introduced to Uppercase Living in October. Better late than never?

    Vinyl wall decor is very popular now so I think the trick to avoiding “cliche” is to find new ways to use it -whether it be in/on an unusual place or make it extremely personalized. On Uppercase Living you can definitely find some new ideas when it comes to using wall decals.

    Frame your decal


    I like the abstract botanical decal used to anchor bed visually

    cute!



    I also think words/phrases work when used sparingly in certain rooms, mostly the kitchen, children’s rooms, or home offices/studios.

    What do you think of these? Are any of these appealing to you – do you have any clever wall decal solutions to share?

    Also one cool thing about the website is that you can pick a decal and test it against your wall color – or see how it looks on a mirror, etc. Here’s the link for the online Design Suite.

    What do you think?!

  • Morocco Series: Fes 3, A delicious lunch in a gorgeous restaurant

    Morocco Series: Fes 3, A delicious lunch in a gorgeous restaurant

    My desire to travel to Morocco started with a meal I had in a Moroccan restaurant shortly after moving to NYC. I can’t remember what it was, just that it was mind-blowingly delicious. Well, now I can proudly say I’ve satisfied a life-goal by eating a delicious meal of mixed appetizers – lentils, butter beans, zucchini, etc., – vegetable couscous tagine, and a traditional Moroccan pastry with tea. mmmm….

    Also, as you’ll notice below, the restaurant itself is gorgeous! It’s called Restaurant Asmae***

    *please be patient during photo upload – I’ve specially uploaded higher-res images so you guys get extra detail! 🙂

    The restaurant was unmarked and on a residential street. We would’ve never found it, except for this was where our guide ended our tour. We were a little suspicious naturally, as guides get commissions for bringing customers in, but the meal ended up being one of the best we had and was very reasonably priced. Especially considering how full we were!

    The starters I enjoyed more than the main course and it was definitely enough for lunch for the two of us. To name a bit of what you see- fried eggplant, lentils, zucchini, carrots, green beans, tomato salad, etc. True haute gastronomie!

    Below you’ll find some gorgeous shots of the interior
