have a beautiful weekend!

(via)

spring is here, can you feel it? after the crazy year that was 2020, i feel that we are all opening up, like cracking out of an egg shell and that everything is looking fresh and new again. so if we gain that perspective after all is said and done, i guess that's pretty neat. 

my leg is healed (last xray this month), i'm back to my beach and my ocean. taking longer and longer walks and so happy that i'm beginning this new year healthy. i hope that you are having a beautiful weekend. 

what are you up to? anything fun? you'll find me in the yard checking on my plantings from last year and hoping they made it through this cold winter. writing. sipping wine and reading my recent book purchase (see below). 

and some fun finds from around the world wide web:

my love for ceramics continues.

i'm off for a few days, soaking up some quiet time before a busy month of work ramps up. it's been grey and rainy for quite a while, usually this doesn't zap my energy but for some reason, it is. so to combat that i've been getting in some runs for energy, heading out to places that inspire me. might visit this, this weekend. and in between that trying to just relax!

(via)
and so as you shrug off the long week feeling, are you planning anything fun this weekend? i just started this book (which takes part in large on martha's vineyard) and REALLY like it alot. but i also love trying to guess the end of everything! and you guys, i made these cookies (without the frosting) this week and they are seriously amazing. i did find that they needed 12 minutes in the oven though.

i've been sewing away on my 2nd embroidery project, will share the final result on my instagram soon! i've also been running alot outside in the hot, hot weather and then eating fudgsicles in the shower to cool down. seriously:) i hope that your weekend is everything you want it to be! and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

has anyone tried this face highlighter? i'm curious.

mmmm, this watermelon salad looks delish!

terry gross has one of those voices (at least to me) that if i could only hear one, forever, on a deserted island, it would be hers. i love her interview the garry marshall, who just passed away :(

cool abstract rugs by patricia urquiola.

reeeeeeaaaaally like this crescent wallpaper by kelly wearstler.

loving this bronze heel.

the prettiest casserole dish i've ever seen.

a cool collaboration in design

california-based heath ceramics and hygge & west have paired design talents to create a striking line, (chock full of line by the way!) of wallpaper patterns that is "a vibrant dynamic look softened by hand drawn lines." this line is playful, it's about pattern and energy...

each wallpaper design is screenprinted by hand...making for an extra special wall treatment in any residential or commercial space. i am especially drawn to the "arcade" pattern in gold. something even more special about that one! see more of the heath ceramics inspired line, here and read more about the collaboration, here. & enjoy!

have a super weekend!

happy friday friends! what are you up to this weekend? anything fun?

(via)
i just bought my first bottle of rosé wine, (yes way rosé!) dying to try it on one of these hot summer nights. i also want to try this recipe this weekend, but without the frosting (chocolate cravings bigtime!). in between eating and drinking (ha!) i'm still plugging away on my latest embroidery design (will share it soon on instagram) and getting in alot of running outside, feeling good!

i hope that you have a super weekend too! and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

vacation inspiration: hotel panache, paris

not that paris isn't already on most of our vacation inspiration wishlists, the hotel panache more specifically, is on my vacation inspiration radar, bigtime...

hotel panache is located in the heart of paris, on 1 rue geoffroy-marie and is, as they say on their homepage, "deliciously sophisticated." it really is stunning in my opinion. AD Magazine, France, featured them in april of this year (here) and my jaw dropped. the magazine raved about it (especially the food!) and particularly touted the collaboration between owner adrian gloaugen and the amazing decorator dorothee meilichzon and describes the finished spaces as quirky with all angles and corners" and that it is already becoming "the new hideout in fashion."

but that's paris right? all kinds of quirky angles and corners? i love that. and i love what dorothee has accomplished here. the rich burnt orange tones, the stark, glossy white tile, the brass vintage-esque lighting, the fun textural wallpapers throughout the bedrooms, the overall color palette is sexy and comforting. see more of hotel panache's gallery here. and get your calendar out, you'll want to add hotel panache to your list of vacation destinations. i am. enjoy!

marine inspired

i'm lately seeing some lovely marine inspired product out there, and in all forms. from wallpapers to lighting to deck furniture. here are a few recent curious favorites...

how gorgeous are these "brush and wave" cushions offered up by new works out of copenhagen?

il fanale offers up a wide variety of marina inspired lighting. i like the simplicity of this one.

wall & deco offers up this super fun line of "mariniere" wallpaper. (striped shirts and all!)

wall & deco also offers up this very cool (and waterproof!) membrane wallpaper called "ocean drops". check out all of their "wet system" wall coverings here.

coverings etc offers up upcycled glass counte rtops in marine inspired patterns & colors. stunning.

loving these classic ship's deck inspired "snooze" chairs by the italian design company emu.

summer is coming...enjoy!

glamora wallpaper

if you are looking to make a serious statement in designing your space, whether it be residential or commercial, glamora wallpapers will send you reeling...

if i clicked on it, i shared it with you. that's how i had to narrow down the unique and special (at least to me) here. sure some are bold and in your face and just wow. but imagine the second to last image i've shared in a new baby or children's room? or a hospital nursery for a commercial setting? imagine that last image (actually one of my favorites, as is the first) in an unexpected setting like a formal dining room of a home where you are looking for just the right thing to keep people guessing, to keep them guessing about your style, to keep them guessing about you for that matter.

super fun right? enjoy!
