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!)

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.

I will forever be in awe of interior designers who can pull together this many colours and patterns and textures and make spaces look this polished. Peter Dunham you are a god.

For the moment city living is working for me…. But give me a cabin in the woods, and a modernized 1974 A-frame at that, and I think I could make the switch quite easily. Maybe just for weekends so I could enjoy the best of both worlds? Sounds like the perfect plan 🙂 This stunner is located 1.5 hours outside of San Francisco, designed by Studio PLOW.

Love the dark and light drama of this 1920s renovated home in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood. Once you can manage to get past that dining room photo above that is. 😉 By Regan Baker Design. [Our client] and her husband purchased the house and embarked on a full-scale renovation, seeking to blend her preppy aesthetic and his love of modern elements. Through the process, we helped them find a cohesive balance between their style preferences, creating a sophisticated, contemporary residence for our clients and their young daughters. In the living room, we took a tone-on-tone approach, painting one accent wall and all of its traditional, existing, trim one color: a dramatic, deep, navy blue. Heirloom, antique furnishings are used throughout the home alongside more contemporary design choices that keep these spaces feeling fresh and bright.
