bringing the outdoors in, june.11

in this nyc heat, i'm seeking out cool anywhere i can find it. somehow just looking at these beautiful images of rustic indoor rock walls has a cooling effect. and i imagine this is the type of home that would also be warm and toasty in the winter...i'll take it.

school's out for summer, june.11

I know the first official day of summer was a few days ago, but today feels like the official official start to me. It's a sunny Saturday, I slept in (waayyy in), I have a freezer full of homemade cocktail popsicles (popsitails? popsicocks? cocksicles?...probably not) and suddenly a whole lot of free time! More to come from my unexpected summer vacation...

TO DO: Buy The Smithy

Growing up, we spent many many Sundays visiting open houses around Seattle. It was so much fun to imagine living in a different neighborhood and re-envisioning the layout of my home. Now that I live in the big city, it's almost impossible to imagine owning anything, let alone a wide open space with multiple rooms, rolling hills outside your window, a stream running through your backyard, and so.much.space. Thank you Smithy, for letting me daydream for a day.
