Beach-walk

Sammy's Beach with Molly, Sara, and Hank. 

Taking a walk on the beach of both of our childhood summers.

Happy Birthday, Sara!

What a diff'rence a day makes

Thank you, Sir Dustless!

Call me a Frankophile

Last summer, when we were in East Hampton for the annual ARF house tours, Sara took us to brunch (excruciatingly. slow. brunch) at the old Maidstone Arms. You may get cold eggs (so I suggest a cocktail instead), but it's worth stopping in to see the design re-vamp from Swedish hotelier Jenny Ljungberg. The whole hotel is a bright homage to Swedish design and Swedes. Molly and I were struck, in particular, by the Josef Frank textiles. I love the energy and color and composition! Wouldn't it be fun to have a throw pillow in one of his fabrics or even a chair, or wallpaper in a small powder room? One of the push and pulls of our relationship is I tend to like a lot more, er, calm, in my design palette than Molly, but call me a convert!

Perhaps my favorite, the lovely Ankreon fabric in "white."

Happy Halloween...

I found my costume in a vintage shop on our honeymoon. It was made by a girl scout sometime in the 1960s. And naturally, you need someone in this relationship to try and lay down the law. ;)
