Smart Ways to Wake Up the Wall

Don't you dig it when someone hangs up something that isn't just a painting or a print?

Check out a few pieces that have inspired me recently. These top two photos are from the Boat House bar that I mentioned last week (old pennants and badges in frames--always a fan). The third pic of lace in a glass frame is from my boy Danny Seo's cottage (would be amazing to frame my great-great-grandmother's lace like this--Mom, take note!). And lastly, the necklace of hotel soaps is another Seo stroke of genius (it's also featured his new book Upcycling). It was hanging in the guest bathroom in his main house. Is there anything cuter?

Escape from Brooklyn: Buck's County, PA

You know what makes my face melt in home-decor happiness? My friend Danny Seo's home in Buck's County, PA. He was kind enough to host my girl Sonal and me for a little visit over the long weekend, and I think I spent 50% of my time with my camera around my neck, exploring every nook and cranny of his magical, thoughtfully designed space (parts of which are featured in his new book Upcycling).

I sort of want to live in his brain. (And also his kitchen. And his workspace. And his living room.)

All Up in Apartment Therapy's Grill and All

 

So, anyway, I'm feeling kind of fancy because my a-p-t is up on Apartment Therapy again this week. (What the what?)

It's the House Tour that just keeps on giving, thanks to the lovely Mat and Guerrin. Check it out at Studios with Style: Kitchens from Our House Tours.

Happy weekend!

Apartment Therapy's "Small Spaces, NYC Style"

Hey, hey. Just back from a long weekend, and come to find out, my wee home was just featured in a fun roundup from Apartment Therapy called "Small Small Spaces, NYC Style: 10 Homes Under 600 Square Feet." Cool. Check it here.
