Design Darling {Kinda Sorta} On Elle Decor





Contributing to Rue has been one of the most exciting opportunities I have had in the past year. I'm sure you can imagine my delight when Crystal emailed me to let me know that one of my posts for the Rue blog was mentioned on elledecor.com! Big thanks to Amy of Shelterpop for the shout-out that completely made my day/week/life. The online mention is definitely tiding me over until the real deal ;) Happy weekend everyone!

These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New

I'm driving back to Connecticut this Sunday to catch up with my family before heading into New York for the launch party for Rue's third issue. Please flip through the issue if you haven't done so already; I know I'm biased but it's truly the best one yet. Pay special attention to the pieces on Brooke Giannetti, Margot Austin, Susanna Salk, and Jim Josephson and Erik Retzer — written by yours truly! I can't wait to celebrate with Crystal, Anne, Bri, and the gang at The New Traditionalists' showroom come Monday night. Will I be seeing any of you there?

Forget-Me-Not

My dear friend and darling housemate Sara has agreed to take pictures of my bedroom to share with you all and I'm keeping a tidy to do list of things to get done before our little impromptu photo shoot:
1. Wait for sunshine. Natural light is everything.
2. Keep things clean until then. Easier said than done.
3. It's time for some fresh flowers in here. I'm convinced they'll make all the difference!
