Holy guacamole - it has been a minute since I wrote a blog post. Not that I don't have a gazillion ideas and every intention of posting them, I just have been a very busy business owner. Which I suppose has fared well because I have been receiving a ton of awesome emails from other businesses that are watching what I am doing, reading the blog, ... read more
I have extolled the mastery of the nail technicians at Sakura Nail Spa in New York City in previous posts and their creative application never ceases to amaze. Around last Christmas, my manicurist of many years showed an Instagram image of my beloved bulldog, Little Bit to a visiting technician from the Tokyo location. He (yes, that is correct ... read more
For those that know me well or even met me once probably know that I like things neat & tidy. A messy desk is my kryptonite, but I am coming to terms that a little disorganization gives you the opportunity to organize. Chaos requires order, but unless there is chaos, order isn't truly being achieved. I had decided to go through 12 old work ... read more
It has been a minute since I've put proverbial pen to paper. It is not that I haven't thought about it often, but I've culling content and perfecting photos for the upcoming blog reboot! Having spent countless (actually I did count them) hours trolling through the photo archives, I realized I have amassed quite a bulldog collection. I am not ... read more

So after a few hours of tooling around north Williamsburg with my friend who is in dire need of pulling her apartment together, the creativity started to slither its way ... read more
I recently had a spade of awesome press in Houzz & NewYork.com and sandwich in between was a photo shoot for a new print magazine (remember the time when you didn't need to specify print versus digital?!). Looking at my home through the lens of another made me aware of all the small details that I take for granted. These little pockets of ... read more
Summer can't come soon enough for me, so for the next month I'll have to make do with photos from summers past spent in Coney Island. ... read more
While I was in the midst of my mighty magnet mania, the estimable photojojo ran a blog on how to create mini photo stands with the their little promo dinosaur (who guarantees your package arrives safely). I thought I'd try to create the same magnet photo holder effect without following all the steps. I must admit short-cutting didn't lead to ... read more
Onto post #3 expressing my deep affection & appreciation for the various ways one can use mighty magnets. Seriously, these suckers are so strong & inspiring I could probably eek out another couple of posts. I spend a lot of time starring at the wall, mostly avoiding typing a blog and last week it occurred to me I could display my favorite ... read more
Ok, this obsession isn't reserved just for a Monday morning. Aside being completely infatuated with my bulldog puppy, Tater Tot, I laugh at this photo every time because his front right leg is just obscenely long. Plus I like how crazy intense the red sofa is. So I guess this does qualify as a Monday morning obsession. Let's hope inspiration ... read more
