CHILDREN'S ART SPACE

Our kids love to do art!

Usually it is all over the kitchen table or counter.

After numerous attempts at creating "art stations" in the playroom,

and the studio we finally realized the only way it was going to be effective

was to put it across from our desk. Otherwise our desk was their desk.

Now look...

THROW A CLOTH ON IT...

As much as I love a beautiful bare dining room table,
there is something so intimate and warm
about a table draped in beautiful linens.
It seems to add a touch of elegance but at the same time a nice casualness.
And as you all probably know, a dining room table is one of the hardest to find
and biggest investments of a home. If you are still searching or saving
for yours you can buy a 60" round caterers table from
Sam's club and throw a beautiful tapestry or cloth over it..

and can custom any size or fabric.

FRIDAY FLOWERS

What better way to say fall than leaves.

We had friends to dinner last night and with this 70 degree weather,

I felt like I needed a little fall to cozy us up.

So, I went to the backyard and cut some of the branches off our

gorgeous maple trees.

voila....

And, I redid the pumpkin arrangement with some more pastel colors.....

A favorite...

I thought today I would share one of my all time favorite apartments.

It is interior designer David Netto's downtown fifth avenue place

and it has always just drove me wild.

Such a great juxtaposition of new modern and antique.

Love everything about it!
