Pia Richter is a NYC based architectural designer, now branching out and running her own agency after working with The Apartment (the team responsible for one of my favorite NYC interiors). She shared her complete source list for each room in this creatively colorful project; providing us with a one stop guide for fresh ideas for using pastel colors in a modern way - it's cool, unexpected and still unapologetically pretty...

Argentina's northwestern provinces are quite different from the bustling, European-influenced capital of Buenos Aires. With a more indigenous culture, an open landscape and a slower pace of life, this region is filled with a rich history of handmade objects. Historians have found hand-spun woven textiles dating back as early as 7000 B.C., and traditional techniques have consistently been passed down through generations preserving this visual heritage.

While I may dream of beach houses in summer, right now I'm all about snowy ski vacations. I'm picturing a cozy mountain top retreat. In fact, the picture in my head looks a lot like Aerin Lauder's Aspen ski lodge! More

I love the look of reclaimed wood. When it's done well. It has a certain patina that you just can't replicate — or so I thought. A couple of days ago, I heard about a new line of hardwood flooring that delivers the lived-in look of old, weathered barnwood without the actual provenance. More

New Year's resolutions to get organized need not mean you have to live bare.

The new year has arrived, and with it, a bit of culture shock: back to work, back to reality, back to a reasonable amount of cookies. It can be rough. At the end of my workday on December 26th, I fake-whined to my co-workers, "I haven't had any Champagne all day!"- then went home and had a glass. It's important not to shock the system... More

I knew I was committed to my man when I learned to ski. I may have been a "what's snow?" SoCal girl when we met, but he grew up racing down unmarked trails and jumping off cliffs in Tahoe. Now, our winter weekends go like this: Get up really early to head up to the mountain and fall into bed exhausted after the drive home. If only we had something like Aerin Lauder's stunning Aspen escape. More

If you read Part 1 of this post, you know that while I may be generous of heart (hopefully), I am not, in fact, generous of means. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy some wonderful window shopping, though... More

I'll admit, the phrases "shoot for the moon," "money's no object," and "sky's the limit" rarely ever apply to my spending circumstances. In fact, with all the options out there, I often wonder, if I didn't have a budget, how would I ever decide what to buy at all?? More
