FURNITURE 101: X-BASE STOOL
I don’t know about you, but because I live in a downtown apartment where space is limited (and I mean LIMITED), I love an attractive piece of furniture that is also multi-functional. Enter the X-stool. Now the very first x-stools (also referred to as Dante, Curule, Luther, Savonarola) date back to Ancient Egypt and the time of King Tut but are more widely known […]
QUICK HELLO +

A GLIMPSE INTO MY: MEDICINE CABINET
When a girl begins to feel uninspired and down about her beauty routine, she must clean out her medicine cabinet. This is the exact feeling I had when I woke up this morning and opened my cabinet to not only find a mess but also no set routine. Due to cold climates on the East […]

IN MY OFFICE
After my post on Monday about having a clear and inspiring work space to make you feel motivated – I decided that I should practice what I preach. My office is still in the works right now (the inspiration board will not lean on my desk forever and I will be adding a rug and […]

Thankfully, the BDC has some of my favorite go-tos when it comes to wallpaper and fabric: Kravet, Farrow […]

COLOR YOUR MONDAY
From clothing to the outdoors, Winter tends to be a season filled with neutrals. I feel like everywhere I go in Boston, all I see are black coats (I am also guilty of this)…and then I walk outside and see white snow. Not much excitement going on needless to say. Isn’t it funny how we […]
WELCOME 2014
First of all, Happy New Year! The photos above are from the party we hosted at our apartment for NYE. There was a lot of laughs, champagne + treats and many rounds of catch phrase. It was so great to get a few of our new friends from Boston in one room and celebrate the […]

I don’t know if you all have heard the news, but beginning January 1st, 2014 we will be looking at purchasing light bulbs differently. The traditional 40 and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs will no longer be available for purchase. I am surprised it took this long actually – it makes since as we move closer […]
