Well, technically no fish will be caught, only sun rays. The hardworking staff of photojeanie, apartmentjeanie & partyjeanie will be taking an extended re-mix summer holiday to ensure fall freshness! There are clients to meet, surfing to watch and actual book reading to be done. Hope the rest of your summer is hot & ... read more
Between being completely absorbed in an amazing new interior décor book – that was intended to be the subject of today’s post and my MAC begging to die a slow death, a quality apartmentjeanie post this is not. However, I do feel the gorgeous pink peonies from James Durr Wholesale Florist located in Union Square Farmers Market are deserving of ... read more
While in the midst of writing today’s apartmentjeanie blog post, admittedly 24hours late, I received a phone call from my mother. As she prattled on about her work, I took advantage of the time to catch up on my online magazine viewing. I have been resistant to this ever-increasing trend in periodicals – especially with respect to design ... read more
Do you have a co-worker, colleague, business constituent or perhaps career mentor who has the ability to make even the most challenging obstacles look effortless? That everything this person handles leaves you inspired, gob-smacked and a smidge envious. That this person’s obvious talent makes you want to pull a Malkovich just to see the world ... read more
Two years ago, I found myself starring in my kitchen cupboard at a set of darling, but ineffectual Jonathan Adler bud vases that I purchased on super duper, ‘are my eyes deceiving me’ sale. Because these were so adorable and bound to be useful, I bought 2 sets – I foresaw a trail of them as a dining table centerpiece or a tight arrangement on the ... read more
This may come as a surprise to some and disbelief to others, but I detest shopping. I don’t dislike owning and amassing things (obvi), but I really loathe the act of the acquisition. At the top of this (non) shopping list is makeup. I will pull tear sheets from gazillions of beauty magazines, keep meticulous and dated notes on the latest & ... read more
A few days ago, I visited my friend who became a recent homeowner in the darling community of Irvington, New York. Although our visit (due to her 2yr old twins’ self imposed extended nap) prevented a full excursion, I was able to surmise the town was brimming with charm. This was evident in the architectural details and craftsmen custom built-ins ... read more
My first formal introduction to the absurdly talented Adam Wallacavage was on an incredibly humid July afternoon 5 years ago. He was signing copies of his photography book, Monster Size Monsters at the Jonathan Levine Gallery where my dog had been scheduled to ‘take down’ an art installation that was comprised of Mylar balloons to be later posted ... read more
A few months ago I had posted a photojeanie blog about a unique and innovated photo collage created for my mother who had celebrated a monumental birthday. Well, my father had one as well – in the same week turning the same age. As much as Daddy enjoys a cup of tea, I couldn’t present him with a visual time capsule set in porcelain. He needed ... read more
Everyone who has a home most likely has a place to store books – whether it is a cabinet, custom built-ins, wall shelves or in my father’s case when he was in college – the refrigerator. The structure that houses one’s library should be organized in a personalized manner as to reflect the style of the homeowner. If placed properly, books can be ... read more
