Gorgeous (and super cute!) photo taken by my cousin's husband, Dario, of their daughter. Dubbed "Vermeer's Sofia". Love

home additions

This month we welcome two new additions to the home! The first is temporary.. meet our (fake) Christmas tree! I think it's pretty cute, and yes sitting on a table; I guess tall ceilings make things appear short. (The night shot also shows a glimpse of our new and very functional c-table.)


And now meet our more permanent addition, my long-anticipated and much searched for mid-century dresser. Thanks to zipcar, the resident muscles, and the powerful duo Pledge and Windex, this glass-topped retro beauty sits gloriously in the bedroom. (And check out the cute penguin we got too!) Love.

Baby brother got married last weekend. I only took 3 pictures the whole trip (not good!), but this one is so happy. More to come from the photographers. Welcome to the family, Jess!

ps. I'm realizing November passed without a single post! I will get better at this.. pre-new year's resolution

dreaming of chevrons

I have been itching to repaint the bathrooms, since the color I picked last year just looks tired with the existing tile. I've spent weeks poking around for inspiration, and have somewhat settled on the idea of painting chevrons (and likely in a similar color!)

(inspiration from an Apartment Therapy house tour)

Not sure yet if it's worth the effort...
