'Ray Bucknell!

My tiny little liberal arts college in Pennsylvania made it into the NCAA basketball tournament for the first time in my four years and I couldn't be more excited! This is the first year I've kept a bracket and the first time I've ever thought twice about basketball. Are you into March Madness at all? Even if you're not, do you think you could cross your fingers for a Bucknell upset over UConn this evening? This soon-to-be graduate would really appreciate it. 'Ray Bucknell!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

House Beautiful put together a slideshow of green interiors to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and I was thrilled to stumble upon this kitchen designed by Gideon Mendelson. The combination of white cabinetry, dark flooring, the punchy green island, and just a hint of turquoise in the plate display is brilliant — but it's the gingham ceiling that stole my heart. Mendelson had the design painted on the ceiling but I imagine you could achieve the same effect with wallpaper. Do you love it as much as I do? Happy St. Patrick's Day!

P.S. Happy, happy, happy birthday to my friend and housemate Kelly, who turns 22 today!
