Banana boats, July.11

Am I the last person on earth to learn of banana boats?!?!? Now that I've been enlightened, these sweeties will be making after-dinner appearances at BBQs and camping trips forever more.

summerhouse, july.11

Hello you hot little summerhouse. I love your rustic wooden shingle exterior juxtaposed with your south beach citrus tiled pool and beachy boardwalk patio. Would you be mine? I'm willing to relocate.

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.

Attending this food styling and photography workshop on the Dordogne River would be such a dream...
