A big shoutout to all the healthcare workers out there who continue to show up to work and risk their lives during this pandemic. I read an article the other day about a nurse who would get in her car and cry from fear each day before heading to work. I cannot imagine. I worry about my cousin Cristina who is a newly graduated paramedic in Toronto. These people can’t hide in their homes like the rest of us. Donna is a healthcare provider and sent us a link to the obstetrics and gynecology office in Nashville, TN where she works.  Designed by Pencil & Paper Co., “it gives us a serene environment for some of life’s stressful moments“. Thank you Donna. XOXO (And I must wish my dear blog partner Jo a happy birthday!!! a virtual XOXO to you too!)

As I wrote last week and sadly will be writing for many weeks to come a lot of us are compelled to stay home in these dangerous times. Others have no choice but to go out into the big, bad world to help others or keep the wheels turning. I can’t use my usual spiel about being dragged into work on a weekend. It doesn’t feel right. So many of us have lost our jobs. I’ll just share this stylish workplace instead. Office 1 by Lawless & Meyerson.

Nine floors up in the city skyline is a comapny garden providing break out and informal meeting areas for its staff. Yada, yada, yah, yah, so what? A couple of planter boxes and a picnic table would be the most you would expect but that’s not what this garden is at all. Verdant greenery spilling everywhere, gentlemovement, a sense of exploration, an oasis in the city with the most exceptional views (Opera House sails anyone?). Clever ideas to steal for urban courtyard or balcony gardens. Platinum House by Sydney-based landscape designers Secret Gardens.

A heritage apartment and a chic beach side location. Ocean hues lead to light filled spaces. Contemporary furniture and art deco detailing. A sophisticated aesthetic by Sydney-based interior design firm Studio Quarters.

Again, Peter Dunham has layered the crap out of this Central Park West apartment and I absolutely adore this. There is alot going on but it’s JUST RIGHT.
