Love this open and simple dining area. I'd eat there.

lovely work space

Still trying to get ideas for my home office. Here are couple of work areas that I think are pretty super.

and we're back

It was a great and short trip to NYC and upstate. I should have taken more pictures for the blog but instead, I just soaked up the city. Now it's time to get back to real life - house, dog, cat, chickens, work... Here are a few spaces to inspire on this Monday. I just love these living rooms. Hope you do too! Have a wonderful week, my dears. xo

raising beautiful blonds in nyc

I am regularly amazed by my friends and their amazing parenting abilities. Tidbits has been off the air a bit while we visit some of these friends in NYC and I visit my mom in upstate. It's a quick trip, but it's good for the soul to soak up some art, some big city vibes and reconnect with good pals.

Here are some pics I took of my friend's kids in Central Park (one of the most brilliant things in city planning ever). Quinn, Misty and Huck are such an amazing and hilarious crew. I am very thankful that these folks are in my life. This family is so inspiring as they ride the waves of the big city and manage to stay grounded at the same time. Awesome.

More texture

I think the use of texture in these spaces is wonderful. The peeling paint, wood, leather and natural fibers combine to make the space feel new and light, with an element of decay that is quite stunning. The splashes dance around the space and making it playful and fun. Love it!

a swinging bed and a lovely light

I guess bedrooms are on my mind...Love this one! Colorful, yet clean and light. I love the idea of a hanging bed like this, I wonder if it's like sleeping on a boat? This dining room table (of the same designer) is also fabulous. Love those chairs and the use of the large paper lantern is beautiful in this space as well. Enjoy!
