California-Bound.

Today is my last day in Connecticut as I fly from New York to San Francisco at an ungodly hour tomorrow morning. I hate saying good bye and I'm going to miss my family, my friends, my boyfriend, and my puppies so much it already hurts. Breathe deep annnd leap.

Happy June!

Did you wake up and say "rabbit, rabbit" for good luck? I'm spending the morning waiting in line at the DMV so I'll take all the luck I can get. What do you have on the calendar this month?

Stream of Consciousness

I'm still crushing on her style.

Art and paneling pretties.

Want.

My pick for prettiest woman alive.

Connecticut summers require a pool like this one. It. Is. Hot.

Different and gorgeous.

Packing is not this pretty in real life. I leave for San Francisco bright and early Saturday morning and I am stressed.

But I'm ready for the adventure. You?

Nantucket.

I'm spending a few days in our home on Nantucket with my family before my final week in Connecticut. After this, it's errands, interviews, packing, and — next Saturday — San Francisco!

White Floors

Love the one you're with. Work with what you've got. Make it work. But what if your plain concrete or wood floors really just aren't working? Paint them! I'm convinced there's nothing a fresh coat of white paint can't solve — and I'm using these interiors as proof.

Do you have any white floors in your home? It's a DIY project I'm dying to try at some point using this tutorial. According to Camila, it's a surprisingly easy and inexpensive project — right up my alley!

Wood Dressers

The search is on for the perfect wood dresser for a client's bedroom. She needs a darker piece to break up the white walls and I think any one of these pieces would do the trick.

Gorgeous, n'est-ce pas?
