Weekly Speaking: October 14th






This last week I ...
  • overhauled our apartment. It started with a mere desire to put out some family pictures, and snowballed into an extensive project! (Have I mentioned I'm a Virgo?) So worth it, so inspiring, and such an accomplishment! I expanded the gallery wall in our bedroom, and changed up our living room in many fun ways.
  • discovered that my two sweethearts are obsessed with my new adaptation of this recipe
  • found out I have to have foot surgery in December. I've been dealing with this for the last three years, and am actually super excited to start the road to healing - that's the real Christmas present, right?! I'm also grateful to have been introduced to my new podiatrist, Dr. Gregg Rock, who will be performing my surgery.
  • was often reminded that my girl is growing up, and how much I love being a parent with my hubby.
  • continued to laugh out loud at how my girl has taken on my "gift" for making up alternative lyrics to classic tunes ... for example, "O Christmas Tree" makes for a great tune to her new re-write entitled "O Public School."
  • scheduled an appointment at Devachan for my semi-annual haircut. These curls are so ready for some love this Tuesday!
  • determined that essie's Aperitif is my new signature nail color - and goes beautifully with my new signature lip color, Cherry Lush, by Tom Ford.
Now, let's make it a beautiful new week!

Bedroom Makeover

Our bedroom went through a makeover this weekend. My side of the closet had exploded, and my mom intervened during her stay. Off to The Container Store we went, home came a rolling rack ... and the transformation began:



Organizing my vintage collection on my new Commercial Garment RackPlatinum Huggable Hangers
from The Container Store

With clothing I love so much, how could this rack not become a focal point?


Transformed this Socker plant stand from IKEA to a dressing table


My statement necklaces hung on hooks, sunnies in a vintage plant holder & my Grandpere's christening gown from 1909

Duvet, sheets & silver throw pillows from IKEA | Printed throw pillows from Fab.com

"The Brooklyn Bridge" by our daughter using oil pastels & watercolors - great way to personalize your space!

Created a gallery wall at the foot of our bed with our favorite artwork & photographs
Ready to create your own gallery wall? Stay tuned for my DIY later this week!
