A Roxbury Barn

This Dutch-style barn turned second home is pretty amazing if you ask me. It's really close to where a few friends and I brought in the New Year. More on that later. You can read more about this home here.

Catskills Barn

This is everything I'd ever want in a home. 

Found here. All images are from the New York Times.

Wild Retreat

How amazing is this retreat in British Columbia? Seems like the perfect getaway to me.

Cabin Love

Tell me this isn't the most amazing cabin you've ever seen. It looks straight out of a fairytale.

Found here.

The Stable

I want to go to there. My list of places to visit is growing and growing. Malaysia is now on the list.

Found here.

Playing With Your Food

The other day at work, I was working with an art director on a ad that was all about cookies. We started talking about the styling of everything and he was telling me all about the photoshoot and the food artist/stylist he worked with. He was explaining how the artist brought in a huge tool kit and sat and painted these cookies for about 4 hours. He said she had every kind of baking decoration you could ever imagine. I figured she went to school for cooking or baking but to my surprise she studied sculpture. It makes sense if you think about it.

It got me thinking that in my next life or if I could start all over again I would love to be a food stylist. I know it sounds like a super tedious job but at the same time it's sounds like so much fun. And how can you not like working with food? 

All of the above photos were found on one of my favorite food stylists and photographer's site, Fish Food/a> by Teri Lyn Fisher.

Aria

Normally I would say that I'm not a cruise person but I have to say this little cruise is now at the top of my vacation list. Cruising around the Peruvian jungle and ending up in Machu Picchu sounds pretty alright to me.

Take a Dip

Who wants to go swimming?

One Day Soon

For the past 3 years, I have been working and making things out of my teensy tiny Brooklyn apartment. To be honest, it really hasn't been that horrible and Brett and I have gotten used to having all my supplies and things laying around and not having a a proper dining table. We've unfortunately gotten used to eating dinner on our couch (horrible, I know!). But someday soon I hope to have my own studio space whether it be the second bedroom in our future apartment or a renovated barn in the backyard (my dream!). Once all the hubbub of our wedding is over, I have big big plans and I can't wait to share them with you. I'm not quite sure what brought this up. It's probably because I came across this gorgeous studio above or maybe it's because it's all I can think about anymore. Ahh a girl can dream right?

Currently Craving

I can't get enough of the beach this summer. For me, my ideal day involves going to the beach for a few hours and coming home to feel slightly crispy while eating cocktail shrimp. Then you watch a few episodes of Madmen and fall asleep early because the sun totally wiped you out. I say let's play hookie and go to the beach? Who's with me?

Sunshine

It's supposed to be snowy and rainy the next two days here. Instead of sulking, I'll just pretend I'm this lady hanging out in the middle of nowhere soaking up the rays. Image

Spring Shopping

Spring is around the corner and I'm craving some quality shopping time. I must resist though - it's all about saving for me right now and I'm trying to pretend it's just as fun...it really isn't.

Etsy Quit Your Day Job

"Wake up when you want, work in your pajamas if you want, drink champagne while answering emails if you want...but what I really love is that the risks and the rewards are all ours." Yup, that sounds about right. Read more about Shauna from Something's Hiding In Here here.

Currently Dreaming Of

...owning a studio where I can design and print the night away. Who knows maybe I'd even pick up my paintbrushes again. Image

Happy Friday!

Yessss it's Friday! Let's pretend we're all about to hop on a plane to somewhere warm where we can splash around in warm water and drink cocktails. K? k! Happy Friday friends! image

A Wintry Escape

If I had my own cabin this is what it would look like. Found here.

This Time of Year

As soon as the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over, I find myself a little sad and craving Spring and sunshine again. Image, Image
