Celebrity home edition!

Mike D of the Beasty boys, and his family have moved to a townhouse in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. I love it! It's not cookie-cutter, it's full of the unexpected and has tons of charm. My fav? Their kitchen branch chandelier and the chalkboard walls in the bathroom!

Hello my friends.  Can we hit the pause button on my post for just a second and talk about this weather? C'mon mother nature! It's cold-it's hot- it's raining- it's hot- it's cold-more rain...I'm beginning to think you're going through menopause. Pick a season. Geez.... Ahem. Ok, I feel better, now back to you and me.  I know I've been blogging less frequently (so sorry!) But, so many good things are happening with my screenplay that I haven't had time-- we just went into pre-production! (More info will be spilled when we go into production:) Meantime--the blog! I'm seeing RED in interiors and fashion and thought I'd share some loveliness. Enjoy!

Ok, hold on--I love this room but I'm not usually a fan of this kind of floral, especially when paired with a ruffle...(I'm a girly-girl but not prissy!) And although it wouldn't be my choice in this room I have to say it does work. Kudos to the designer who made me comfortable looking at this floral. Ok, that's my 2 cents, I feel better now. Carry on.

WHITE WEAR

Ahh white! It's that time of year when I look around the house and try to find more places to put white! 

And, I don't wait until Memorial Day to wear it...do you? C'mon, be a little daring. Let's go!

Table settings

 Spring is on again/off again this week but I'm going to go with on again because it has inspired this post.I'll try to forget that on Tuesday I was wearing my winter hat, long down coat and a scarf... Wednesday was beautiful, so I'm counting on more of those kind of days so I can have lunch on the roof garden and use beautiful spring glasses and linens! I love the colors in these table settings--so cheery, bright and well, spring-ish. (Is that a word?...Ok, well--it is now). I'm craving my afternoon parties and I need the weather to cooperate. Meantime, I'll get out my fav mismatched china and various patterned table linens and hang in there until that sunny weekend when I can have my soiree. And I'll use this photos as inspiration.

Wow! Kitchens

 Ahhh! I can hardly stand the beauty of these kitchens! When I was in design school at F.I.T, I have to admit--the last room I cared about designing was the kitchen. I had no interest and every project reflected that. Now (and maybe because I've recently learned how to properly cook) I do believe I could live in a kitchen...well, a kitchen like one of these. The photo above with the pop of red and the gray lower cabinets is killer. And that hood range? Oh.. my heart.

 Beautiful wood floors and a country island on wheels is fab.

Ah-the picnic table and bench resurfaces to make this cozy... but what really got me was the black trimmed doors!

 Wood beams high in the sky? Oh, yeah- I'm there!

 Why is this on my fav list? Um...a cozy sofa in the kitchen will do it every time.

 Charming colors, interesting ceiling and wood floors! 

 A galley kitchen never looked so good and that kind of focal point makes it a winner.

 How do I love thee pantry, let me count the bowls.

Spring is definitly here.  Ok, so there's still a nip in the air and you need a jacket and ok, maybe also a scarf...All right already-- it's still chilly. But the sun is shining and I see buds on the tress so I'm going with it. And before you know it, we'll head right into the heat of summer. So I'm going to my roof and enjoy the fact that it's not freezing anymore. I suggest you do the same. Your own roof or backyard that is... Thanks and you're welcome. xo

 Sheets on a clothes line...ahh!
