Magical Metallics

It's amazing the magic a little metal can create... 

A glimmer of gold... Framing a view... Lines like drawings structuring a room... Shimmering patterns upon a wall... 

The possibilities are endless.

Happy Weekend

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Ours has been pretty relaxed... Baking cookies, humming along to Nina Simone in the kitchen, a beautiful drive through the hills to a favorite town, a visit to a pop-up market... Wishing it could last a little longer....

I love chai lattes and I love anything drizzled in a sugary glaze. This bread (or cake, really--I mean, it has frosting, so it must be cake, right?) is wonderful. Try it the next time you've got a few overripe bananas sitting around.

A-Frame House Love

I have a thing for A-frame houses. I don't know if it's the vintage vacation house vibe or my memories of seeing them tucked away in lush wooded spots back home in Ohio... Anyway, I think they're pretty cool. I just felt like crushing on A-frames tonight, and sharing them with you. Enjoy.
