don’t just do something, stand there
that’s what my guy told me once upon a time. hi friends! it’s been a while since i just zoned out and surfed the web, waves, and well, life in general. finally time to stand still for a sec.
which means back to blogging, yay! and of course surfing super briefly led me to so many fabu pics, places and people. here are some you may have seen but i just discovered:
via girl meets glamour, who also had this serene beauty:
bedding by Toast (but their website isn’t working)
this link was sent to me by my friend Mike who opened a store called Bodega Shoppe in Red Bank, NJ and is about to open a second one there. He’s sent met this great inspiration painting by paul from www.paulin-paris.com. I’ll keep you posted on his progress! mikey, send more pics!
isn’t he cute?
as far as these two wallpapers below, i hate to say it but i have no idea where they came from and ask: do you?
just cause it’s pretty, and our bench is in the pic…thanks Brilliant Asylum!
while i’m on the subject of the line (so much for taking time off)! here are a few new pieces being added this week. there are 21 colors and finishes. what do you think?
ok gotta run, more later! xoc
j’adore Drew Barrymore
by now you must have seen the april domino magazine with Drew on the cover. it was thrilling to see that she (and designer Ruthie Sommers), turned her office into what looks like a set from an old Lionel Barrymore film! it’s filled with textures, lacquer, history, fun, discovery and Drew looks like she was born to hold court there! i love her decor, no rules, all style! go Drew!
what a muse she must have been for ruthie!

what about it for our bloggers getaway…(2 weeks in may)?
there’s plenty of room
and there’s a little pool
i’d definitely sleep here one night!
a beautiful minute
i stumbled onto these spectacular images of by Sarah Greenwood for Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day during my one minute of surfing today.
More later!
ok that’s it
i’ve sufficiently regenerated, thank you very much. after a marathon of vegging out to the Bad Girl’s Club, i knew it would all be ok. today i vow to start working on the trip to paris and the south of france in may. you know you’re invited! i stole these images from the net, just taking a sec to surf and get revved up cause i’ll have to come back to this. but at least it’s inspiring me.
above is a market in aix en provence. just one more click led me to the link below for affordable villas. now back to my chores…can’t wait to dig in now and look for our chateau to share!
ps ok it’s now 9:30 and i did manage to work on the trip a little…just got a ticket for $650! My aunt told me to go to her website and it’s great! check it out: www.marciasfreetravel.com
time to turn on tune in drop out
coo coo for coconuts is what i am, and drank two for breakfast just today. my bud liz turned me on to them. what’s amazing is that they are unbelievably delicious but also have the same properties and makeup as our blood. check it out!
we have to open them at liz’s so i thought i’d shoot her place cause she’s been working on it
plus her beachy ways inspire me
i have so much to do but somehow just can’t make myself do anything. the highlight of my day was taking a cat nap in the sun. well, tomorrow is another day! (did i say that yesterday)?
that side of paradise
going thru a pile of emails on this gorgeous miami sunday proved worthwhile cause there was an intriguing email from a high school friend. she’s going to France in september on a yoga retreat. looks like heaven and we’ll be there for the maison et objet anyway, so why not!?
below is her own yoga studio: thanks tracey! hope we can rendezvous with some blog friends too!
well now back to work planning the trip to paris and the countryside in may. is anyone interested in a bloggers weekend down south? i’m hoping to meet with some of my blog buds and would love you to be there too!
lalalala life goes on
anakasa has this gorgeous stone backlit display in their lex ave store. not easy to do but highly dramatic!
first of all, thanks everyone for the fantastic things you said in the last couple posts. i don’t think i’ll ever recover! i’d like to put together some blog friends and their wares but we’ll talk about that later…
i had to/have to take a break after that whirlwind couple weeks. it all came and went in the blink of an eye. now there are other projects on the horizon, but first i’m going back south into seclusion to sort it all out and unwind. here are a couple new york happenings:
i only WISH i could tell you who’s apartment this is…she is my IDOL! probably yours too since we like the same movies!!!
anyway she wants her apartment to be very old italian, and loves the muted colors of venice and rome.
i of course love the turquoise ceiling (sorry the pics are so bad)!
and she wants yellow chairs
on the uptown side, this is where our bench ended up. the second item purchased in a beautiful russian woman’s apartment. i’ll keep taking pics of the progress we make.
i just thought this speaker was cute.
back downtown, i met with a great designer and friend, Patricia Fox. we’re talking about collaborating on an atelier in her apartment. again, want to talk with you bloggers about merchandise and your opinion of a little place that would be by appointment only.
it’s a bit victorian and a little disheveled but she’s ready to go for a complete revamp. it gets great sunlight, and taking pics of her handmade pieces was inspiring.
it has all the trimmings to be a fun little speakeasy, off the street and very intimate and cozy
needless to say it’s another project and i went to fla to get away and write. but at the same time it’s such a great opportunity. more to come on the subject tout de suite!
and now the end is near
it was so nice to come home to find a link to a beautiful site. thanks tony!
ok well this is my last post about the show, the little details…tomorrow we break it all down.
ok this is the end! onward! i’m glad i have you to share life with! xoxoc
