weekend recap

Had a lovely long weekend... full of furniture painting (dedicated post to follow), brunch with the best sister, gallery wall plotting, donuts at brooklyn flea with the best of friends, and a pre-IFBCON blowout at drybar (it will be very difficult to not make that a habit).  Very excited to attend IFBCON tomorrow- stay tuned for posts on what I'm sure will be an amazing two days!  Hope your weekend was just as wonderful.

I'm ready for you.

attention must be paid

I missed the shoesday boat on this... but these shoes deserve attention:  a moment of silence for their pink, metallic glory.

Other things that deserve attention - these GORGEOUS Milo Baughman blush and brass pair of chairs. 

If only.

on being organized...

work space - closet 

It's been one of those weeks that drags on for what seems like years... I am SO pleased it's Friday and am looking forward to a lazy beach weekend with the best of friends.  Until the end of the day though, it's all about getting organized... 

Completely inspired by these two images / wishing I was sitting at that desk!

Happy Friday, hope yours is full of good things.

lately...

Lately I'm loving and inspired by deep, lush, rich green.  Lusting over this pillow from Amber's shoppe, those Kenneth Jay Lane tassel earrings, and an old favorite rug in a new favorite color.

This weekend is all about progress, reflection, and tackling long-overdue to-do's.

brass, lacquer, good things

A project I'm currently plotting is the refinishing of an old armoire.  I'm daydreaming about high-gloss black lacquer (with perhaps a pop of color inside) and polished brass hardware.  And yesterday, I may have found (and purchased too quickly to second guess myself) these beauties on ebay:

now I am beyond excited, although a little nervous as I have never taken on a project of this sort.  I've been pinning loads of tutorials and reading up on different methods.  I want to achieve a very smooth and glossy finish- if anyone has any tried and true methods please let me know!  I am hoping to tackle this in the next few weeks- so stay tuned for updates.  I promise a before-and-after post of sorts (unless of course I fail miserably, in which case we will never speak of this again.)

late sunday musings

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

And just like that, the weekend is over.  This was one full of packing, organizing, and purging.  Looking forward to moving into a new space with great friends next weekend, but until then I am up to my eyes in boxes.  Hope you all had lovely weekends... 

here's to a week full of things you are proud of.
