I'm feeling dreamy today. Wouldn't you like to lie on the grass and let your thoughts wander?(Photos by Kjersti Berg)

Every now and again, I go through obsessive periods about certain types of art. Right now, my love is the portrait. Don't you think portraits add such a warm, personal touch to a room? Even Will and Grace's apartment had that gorgeous portrait by the fireplace!So where do you find a portrait for your home? I guess an antique shop, or you could buy directly from an artist. In Rob and Susan's new apartment, a watercolor painting by Kim McCarty hangs above their dining table. McCarty seeks to capture "longing and loss," and I think her soft colors and searching gazes do this beautifully.

Remember the jewelry love from a while ago? This pretty leaf ring has a similar vibe but a gentler price tag. P.S. Speaking of rings, did you see the bold move on the Bachelor last night?!(via Black Eiffel)

My friends Susan and Rob had a brunch this Sunday to celebrate both Rob's birthday and their new apartment. Sadly, I forgot my camera, but, along with a scattering of Eames chairs and gorgeous wooden table, they had some surprising touches, such as two framed posters of the Prada Waist Down exhibit (Susan is a fashion editor), an immense collection of art/typography books (Rob is a graphic designer), a series of homemade Rorschach inkblot tests and, cutest of all, a framed receipt of coffee they had in Paris on their first New Year's Eve together.Anyway, Alex and I were inspired by their creativity and well-edited aesthetic, and I was propelled to look through old decor photos yesterday. I found this image of genius bathroom decoupage. I love love love it, but I have no idea where I first saw it. (Anyone know?) Many people kind of ignore their bathroom walls, but wouldn't it be such a surprise to open the door and see all these beautiful prints?
Alex and I were watching The Great Escape yesterday when, about half way through, we both got a craving for cookies. But neither of us wanted to leave the cozy apartment. Suddenly, I remembered this awesome cookie delivery service! Thirty minutes later, we were sitting on my bed, watching Steve McQueen ride his motorcycle and munching warm peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. It was one of those I-heart-New-York moments.Friday, 16 November 2007
