"where chili pepper lights meet christmas tree lights"

Lights of every kind.

Christmas. Red Hot Chili Pepper. Little basketballs.

Hanging down 2 feet from the ceiling.

Mirrors on the wall.

That is Panna 2.

I convinced Brendan and Allison to go to dinner there with me.

because I love this place so much.

And believe me.

It's well worth fighting through claustrophobia to enjoy a cheap Indian meal.

It's my favorite.

Just ask one of these two.

accent walls

I was looking for inspiration on accent walls today and I found some good stuff. There are some beautiful and creative walls out there.

would rather be here

than HERE today. It's rainy (and, I mean raining cats and dogs) in New York today. It hasn't tapered off all afternoon. And did I mention cold? It's freezing...again. It's 51 degrees outside right now. And look how cozy and comfortable this bed looks! Not only is the decor beautiful, but it looks like the sun is shining in from a nearby window somewhere while the bed has a nice, relaxing place in this cute little alcove. Looks like the perfect alternative for days like today.

thinking ahead

...waaay ahead. But, I hope that one day my kids' room will look a lot like this. How adorable is the tree painted on the wall with an owl sitting in front. I love the 3-dimensional idea of it!

architect in the making

Looks like Mayce is narrowing down her career path at a very early age. I'm impressed.

a happy home

I got this email from Anthropologie last week and I can't stop looking at the what the body of the email held:

I love it.

1. It looks like a miniature cardboard dollhouse. And I love looking at all the rooms at once.

2. All the stuff inside is from Anthropologie, so naturally it's great.

3. The skies outside of the windows are really blue and the grass is really green... and it looks like the kind of house that would stay that way forever.
