Sometimes when I’m missing Boston all I want to do is look at pictures of my neighborhood or my family. Today I came upon a company called Ork Posters, which will allow me to look at an awesome map of Boston’s neighborhood in the colors of my beloved Celtics! Other colors are available but this, […]
I don’t know where I saw my first farm sink but someday, when I have a real kitchen, this type of sink is a must. I think it brings up the idea of a basin or a bowl instead of just a hole in a countertop. It also seems more traditional and of course it […]
Since gaining confidence (or getting over) the massive discrepancy between the size and shape of my ears I’ve been buying larger more ornate earrings. Still sometimes though I slide back into my love of rings. Sarah Perlis‘ work is so delicate while still showing her hand in each piece I wanted to post as soon […]
In poking around through my backlog of bookmarks I was struck once again today by the artwork of San Francisco-based, Barbara Kleinhans. I’m not sure what it says about me that I love artwork that evokes memories of the countryside and small towns but I do love her pieces – especially of the barns. Similar […]
When I moved to New York I didn’t know what the neighborhood I was moving into was really like. I live in Chelsea and knew I’d be on the West Side and that there was a lot of history here but I didn’t know what the people, stores, restaurants, and more would have in store […]
Brooke, the founder of my current company, who you’ll hear more about here as she has many fabulous things, is friends with jewelry designer, Wendy Brandes.

This particular weekend was the Monadnock Art Open Studio Tour in our area, Peterborough, where Our Town, the play, is based. While […]
In New York there’s a rule that a certain percentage of your hardwood floors must be covered in rugs when you live in an apartment building to manage the noise. I brought many thick carpets when I moved in but they were hard to keep clean and they added no personality. I got new rugs […]
I recently got rid of the curtain in my kitchen and decided to make something more cheerful. The previous curtain was made out of Charlie Brown’s t-shirt…at least it seemed that way. The new curtain is out of a beautiful Virginia Johnson print, Teal Waffle, seen below. While I did have to call customs to […]
In keeping with my creepy Rubie Green affections of late, I wanted to post about Chairloom, a company that takes old chairs, stools, benches, etc and re-upholsters them with contemporary and fabulous fabrics. The above wingback is in Megan by Rubie Green and I think it looks inviting. These stools are in East Village…my future […]
