A little glimpse…

Just a little snapshot from my apartment. I can’t wait to paint the walls this weekend! I’m thinking a nice crisp white…
Chez Hadley
October 21, 2010
This room by Albert Hadley (the legendary decorator’s own sitting room published at bottom by Elle Decor…) is my all-time favorite. I just adore the bold blue canvas, the wallpaper, the vignette on the table and well, all of it. Imagine my excitement then when I spotted the never before seen (by me at least!) image at top in T Magazine this week. It is being featured in ‘The Finest Rooms‘ by Thomas Jayne published by Monacelli Press. To think, after all these years, another little glimpse of my favorite room! Do you see how it’s changed? The love affair continues…
Trompe L’oeil
October 21, 2010
Love these trompe l’oeil paintings by 17th century Dutch artist Edward Coiller. It’s mind blowing to think that they were painted so long ago and yet their depth and composition remain striking hundreds of years later. Pity I can’t snag one for our apartment : )
Coffee Questions
October 21, 2010
I’m twenty-four years old and I only just started drinking coffee. In fact, up until recently I strongly disliked it. Everything changed when we received a beautiful little Cuisinart coffee maker as a wedding gift and now I wake up to a hot brewed cup every morning. So tell me, do you drink coffee? How many cups a day? Is it bad that I find myself craving a second cup and it’s only 8:16 am? Help!
